Abstract

Background: Electronic medical record system is one of the most important subsystems of hospital information system. The system improves the accuracy of documentation, and patient and physician access at any time and place, and reduces medical errors, and quality of patient care. This study aimed to rank electronic medical record system in hospital information systems of teaching hospitals in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 2016. Methods: This was an applied cross-sectional and analytical study. The statistical population consisted of 8 users of the electronic medical record subsystem, and hospital information systems in the first and second stage, respectively. A questionnaire was prepared based on the checklist of evaluation indicators of the hospital information systems of Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education, and 16 items related to electronic medical record subsystem were weighted from the physician' point of view using analytical hierarchy process in Excel software. In the next stage, Sayan Ryan, Pouya Samaneh, Kowsar, and Rayavaran were ranked and scores were determined using simple additive weighting method. Findings: The compliance with this subsystem in the health information system was 100.00, 84.81, 78.49, and 28.33 percent for Kowsar, Sayan Ryan, Rayavaran, and Pouya Samaneh, respectively. Conclusion: Kowsar subsystem of electronic medical record, with respect to the evaluation indicators, ranked first and Pouya Samane was the last. Weighting the evaluation checklist of Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education with a user-centric approach is one of the achievements of this study, which allows for more realistic ranking of hospital information systems. © 2018, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences(IUMS).
