Introduction: Users’ role in the successful application of Hospital Information Systems (HIS) is of crucial importance. Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DIT) is a theoretical model for understanding the relationship between users and technological systems including HIS by assessing users’ intentions to use these systems. This study aimed at determining the factors associated with users’ intentions to use HIS on the basis of DIT. 

Methods: The participants of this descriptive and analytical study were randomly selected from 50 HIS users of Razi Hospital in Ahvaz. The instrument was a questionnaire the reliability of which was measured by test-retest (r = 0.84) and its internal consistency by Cronbach’s alpha (α =0/90). Content validity, and face validity of the questionnaire were also determined. The data were analyzed by SPSS (version 17) using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results: There were negative correlations between age and relative advantage (r = -0.56, p> 0.05), kinds of job and relative advantage (r = -0.32, p> 0. 05), age and compatibility (r = - 0.28, p> 0.05), kinds of job and compatibility (r = - 0.29, p> 0.05) and kinds of job and observed ability (r= - 0.30, p> 0.05). However, there were positive correlations between educational level and complexity (r = 0.29, p> 0.05), computer training and trial ability (r= 0. 28, p> 0.05), financial organizational support and relative advantage (r= 0.31, p> 0.05), emotional organizational support and relative advantage (r= 0.36, p> 0.05), and emotional organizational support and compatibility (r= 0. 27, p> 0.05).

Discussion: The results revealed the effects of DIT on users’ intentions to use HIS. Further studies are required to support the findings of the present study in order to enhance adaptation and compatibility of HIS.

Introduction: Pharmaceutical Warehouse Information Systems is the software that provides drug preparation and maintenance operations from the order stage to delivery stage. To evaluate this system, different aspects of the system should be taken into consideration. In this study, the features and functionality of the system from the managers’ and users’ perspectives were examined. Methods: This applied study was descriptive - comparative in nature. Nine teaching hospitals in Tehran were selected by random sampling. Data collection was carried out by a questionnaire and a check list. The validity of the instruments of the study was determined by five experts of the system, and the reliability was measured by test-retest technique.
Results: The results showed that the managers and users agreed with significant features of Pharmaceutical Warehouse Information Systems. The technical features of the system were observed by evaluation showing that Razi hospital and the Cancer Institute used more powerful operating system and databases. In regards to system capabilities, the software used in Bouali and Amiraalam showed maximum capabilities (scored 84), while Najmieh appeared to have minimum capabilities (scored 70).
Conclusion: Results indicated that users were not interested in using new technologies in these systems. The technical specifications of the systems appeared to be relatively desirable and all the systems had public reporting and analysis capabilities however, some of these systems failed to meet management by exception capabilities, supervision and maintenance issues.

Introduction: Nowadays, all the areas of human knowledge are affected by informatics’ knowledge and information technology. Health organizations and centers also need these technologies due to the vast variety of information. So the result of such a kind of knowledge is a tool named hospital information system (HIS). This research attempts to fill this gap and present a complete conceptual framework to evaluate HIS by means of introducing indexes and their priority.
Methods: Based on literature review, initial model of evaluating main dimensions and indexes of each dimension were introduced. These indexes were classified into different questions and a related questionnaire was published between 100 staff (users, managers and authorities of HIS) of different departments of educational hospitals of Qazvin city. The data gathered were analyzed using first and second order of factor analysis.
 Results: The result of the two orders of analysis revealed that all indexes are acceptable according to loading factor and T value. All fit indices were suitable, too.
 Conclusion: The results indicate that organizational, humanity and technical dimensions are three main dimensions of evaluation, and organizational structure, goals and strategies, cost-benefit analysis and clinical effects are indexes of organizational dimension. User Satisfaction, User Acceptance, and being familiar with ICT are main indexes of humanity dimension. Finally, system quality, information quality and information security are main indexes of technical dimension.

Introduction: The pharmacy information system plays an effective role in managing patients' medication information through informing physicians about unsafe medication prescriptions, prescribed overdoses, and possible drug interactions. The present study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the pharmacy information system using the HOT-fit (Human, Organization And Technology-Fit) model in selected teaching hospitals at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: We conducted this cross-sectional study in 2019 in two stages. First, we presented the extracted criteria and confirmed them in the panel of experts. In the second stage, the pharmacy information system was evaluated from the point of view of 118 users of the system, namely the secretary or nurse who register medication requests in the clinical and specialist departments of HIS. The evaluation results were analyzed using linear regression test via SPSS, version 21.
Results: In the specialized panel, 24 criteria were confirmed; then, we designed a questionnaire according to the HOT-fit model which was provided to the users. According to the result, 55.37% of the users rated the system's performance as favorable. Results showed that according to the analysis of 17 hypotheses of the HOT-fit model, there is a significant relationship between aspects of technical, human, and organizational factors, as well as net benefits. Also, there was not a statistically significant relationship between the aspect of information quality in the technical factor and the aspect of  the system use in the human factor.
Conclusion: System use and information quality criteria increase the satisfaction of information system users. In this regard, in the design of the hospital information system, attention should be paid to the compatibility of the system with the tasks of the user and the usefulness of the expected output. Also, we believe that more studies should be conducted on the information quality and system use criteria that lead to user satisfaction.
