@article{ author = {Nematollahi, Mohtaram and Garavand, Ali and Monem, Hossei}, title = {Factors Affecting the Intention to Use Electronic Medical Records from the Perspective of Top and Middle Managers of Shiraz Teaching Hospitals}, abstract ={Introduction: The high demand for the patients' documents cause a great change in service provision methods. Different systems have been established during decades to feed this need. The use of information technology in different parts of health care system, particularly in hospitals, has high potential for improving the quality of provided services. One of these technologies is Electronic Medical Record (EMR). This study is aimed to determine the factors affecting the intention to use EMR from the perspective of top and middle managers of Shiraz educational hospitals. Method: This research is a cross sectional analytic-descriptive study. The study population were top and middle managers of Shiraz educational hospitals. Data were collected using searcher-made questionnaire with six sections. The data was collected by a researcher-made questionnaire that its content validity was confirmed by specialists. Its reliability was confirmed using Cronbach’s alpha. The data was analyzed by Regression and Pearson, independent sample t-test, and ANOVA Tests using SPSS16 software. Results: The results showed‌ that there isn't a relationship between demographics and the variables in the study. Also there was a significant relationship between effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, familiarity with technology, perceived ease of use, and attitude toward use of EMR with intention to use. Conclusion: With the improvement of effort expectancy, facilitating condition, managers' familiarity with technology, perceived ease of use, and attitude toward use can raise the intention to use EMR by top and middle managers. Increasing the intention to use can also avoid probable failure of the system during performance.}, Keywords = {Electronic Medical Records, Intention to use, Top and Middle Managers }, volume = {2}, Number = {1}, pages = {1-7}, publisher = {دانشگاه علوم پزشکی کرمان}, url = {http://jhbmi.ir/article-1-82-en.html}, eprint = {http://jhbmi.ir/article-1-82-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Health and Biomedical Informatics}, issn = {2423-3870}, eissn = {2423-3498}, year = {2015} } @article{ author = {Khajouei, Reza and Saghaeiannejad, Sakineh and Jahanbakhsh, Maryam and Mirmohammadi, Mahboobeh}, title = {Assessment of the Performance of the Laboratory Information System (LIS) Based on the Standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)}, abstract ={Introduction: LIS is a system developed for the purpose of collecting, processing, storing, and retrieving the data created in laboratory context. Accordingly, this research intends to evaluate the performance of the LIS based on the standards of the ‎American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in the educational and private hospitals situated in the city of Isfahan. Method: This study is applied and descriptive-analytical in nature. The data were collected using a self-designed checklist prepared on the basis of standards of the ANSI including LIS-8A and LIS2-A, the validity and reliability of which were assessed and confirmed by the experts on laboratory and computer sciences as well as the department’s professors. The data were analyzed using SPSS 20 software using some statistical tests including T-test and ANOVA test so as to examine the informational content of the LISs based on three criteria, namely, data input, data storage, and processing and data output using the foregoing standard. In addition, LEVEN test was used for checking the equality of the variances. Results: Based on the findings of the study, the mean score for the three criteria (data input, data storage and processing, and data output) examined, referring to the standards, was found to be 27.53. As a result, the private and educational hospitals under study did not show any difference in this regard. Furthermore, among the systems in question and in terms of the level of meeting three standards, Kowsar system (%44.5) enjoyed the highest rank compared to other software systems. Conclusion: Given the results, it was found that the standards under study for the LISs have not been given due attention. Hence, it is recommended that the proposed standards be examined and studied by organizations so that a user-friendly and responsive system can be developed based on the results of the needs-analysisdone from the beneficiary organizations.}, Keywords = {hospital information system, laboratory information system, standard, assessment}, volume = {2}, Number = {1}, pages = {8-16}, publisher = {دانشگاه علوم پزشکی کرمان}, url = {http://jhbmi.ir/article-1-80-en.html}, eprint = {http://jhbmi.ir/article-1-80-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Health and Biomedical Informatics}, issn = {2423-3870}, eissn = {2423-3498}, year = {2015} } @article{ author = {Damanabi, Shahla and Abdolnezhad, Shawbo and KarimiJavan, Gelavizh}, title = {Situation of Speech Therapy Information Management in Rehabilitation Centers Affiliated with Tabriz University of Medical Science}, abstract ={Introduction: Health Information Management is a profession that attends to the nature, structure, and translation of data into usable forms of information to promote health and health care of individuals and populations.

Method: This paper studied the effect of missing data replacement methods including Mean/Mode, Hot Deck, K-Nearest Neighbor, Maximum Possible Value, All Possible Value, Case Deletion, and Regression on classification accuracy for two popular classifiers namely K-nearest-neighbor and Neural Networks from Weka Data mining tool on 10 medical datasets including Breast Cancer, Cardiac Problems, Dermatology, Hepatitis, Thyroid, Diabetes, Primary Tumor, Liver Patient, Lung Cancer and Post-Operative Patient. These were selected from the six amounts of missing values. For classification accuracy estimation, the 10-fold cross validation method is used. Results: The results show that although the mean/mode method almost had better classification improvement that, none of the replacement methods for all amounts of missing values, is not always the most accurate classification with increasing amounts of missing values for the K-nearest-neighbor classifier. There was no supremacy for all the replacement methods against the various amounts of missing values for any of the replacement methods for all data sets with different amounts of missing values.

This information is used for many important purposes, such as development of public health programs and allocation of health care resources. Therefore, the accuracy of death certificate data is very important. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of documentation of death certificates in hospitals in Sabzevar, Iran. Method: In this retrospective and applied study, all death certificates of patients admitted and expired in hospitals (30 death) of Sabzevar, Iran during the second six months in 2010 were evaluated. Data was collected by a checklist Which validity was approved by experts. Obtained data analyzed using SPSS software and descriptive statistics. Results: The result shows that out of all death certificates reviewed, Only 11,6 percent of certificates were found written without error. Most frequent errors pertained to writing patients' social security number (78.5%) and national ID card (26.2%). Around 60% of death certificates were not issued by treating doctor of deceased and 38% of them were issued by a general practitioner (GP). Listing 'mechanism of death' at the place of 'underlying cause of death' was found in 20, 5 %of certificates. There was no causal relationship between the recorded causes in 27% of certificates. 68% of certificates disclosed 'use of abbreviations' in cause of death. Conclusion: In this study indicates improper sequence of causes and use of abbreviations in the recorded causes of death, due to the lack of understanding about the importance of the death certificate and unfamiliarity of physicians with rules and guidelines of determining mortality causes.

Method: At the beginning of research, all the combinations of key words were searched, then the history and importance of the health data security standards were studied. So the most prevalent and reliable standards were selected to perform the full text. For the next step the researchers extracted the properties which were used to be compared with the selected standards and finally the comparison was discussed. Results: PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and ISO-27799:2008 properties were classified in 8 groups and 25 subgroups.  ISO-27799:2008 was attended to all properties in Encryption group, but HIPAA was just attended to Encryption in storage, and asymmetric key, and PCI-DSS was considered on Encryption in storage, using Hash algorithm and use of asymmetric key. Operation system security was considered only in HIPAA. Only PCI-DSS standard considered RFID and DNS security and cell phone security, and PCI-DSS as well as ISO-27799:2008 considered wireless networks security. Conclusion: One can use the standard that is stronger in context. So, it is recommended to use PCI-DSS for cell phone or PDA systems, and ISO-27799:2008 or PCI-DSS for wireless networks. It is better for security in operation systems to use HIPAA.
