An Integrated Success Model for an Electronic Health Record: A Case Study of Hakeem Jordan

Abstract Electronic Health Record (EHR) has been adopted in many countries due to its ability to enhance and raise the healthcare quality. In Jordan, an EHR called Hakeem was launched by His Majesty King Abdullah Bin Al-Hussien to improve the health care and quality of the countrys medical sector. This research aims to build a model which assess the EHR in general and Hakeem in particular. In the assessment, the research has undertaken the task of integrating two models namely: the Delone and Mcleans information system success model, and the Balanced Scorecard. The models contributed to perspectives which assess the success of Hakeem. Triangulation methods using qualitative and quantitative methods were adopted. This involves an interview, and questionnaire which results were used to build a case study. Prince Hamzah Hospital which implements Hakeem is central to the study. The results showed all Internal perspectives proposed by the two integrated models have strongly influenced the success of Hakeem. Another obvious result is in the relation between the perspectives which affect each other and reflected on the EHR success. This research has proposed an integrated EHR model that could be used in assessing the success of any EHR implementation. For future research undertaking, it is recommended that external success factors such as political, economic, social and technological are studies.

An Empirical Study of the Evolution of PHP MVC Framework

Commercial, social and educational importance of web technology has tremendously increased research activities in web programming/scripting. Several methods for writing PHP codes such as Object Oriented Programming (OOP), Procedural PHP coding and Model View Controller (MVC) pattern have been proposed. Model View Controller (MVC) which is one of the most powerful method for developing PHP application has many variant such Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, CakePHP etc. However, selection of best MVC framework among the variants is of concern to the programmers as well as project managers, especially when managing big applications. Hence, performance evaluation criterions are required. This paper discusses the MVC based most famous PHP frameworks, evaluate their performance and it was found that Laravel outperforms other MVC framework, hence Laravel is proposed as the most suitable PHP framework for future web technology.

Knowledge management systems success in healthcare: Leadership matters

PURPOSE To deliver high-quality healthcare doctors need to access, interpret, and share appropriate and localised medical knowledge. Information technology is widely used to facilitate the management of this knowledge in healthcare organisations. The purpose of this study is to develop a knowledge management systems success model for healthcare organisations. METHOD A model was formulated by extending an existing generic knowledge management systems success model by including organisational and system factors relevant to healthcare. It was tested by using data obtained from 263 doctors working within two district health boards in New Zealand. RESULTS Of the system factors, knowledge content quality was found to be particularly important for knowledge management systems success. Of the organisational factors, leadership was the most important, and more important than incentives. CONCLUSION Leadership promoted knowledge management systems success primarily by positively affecting knowledge content quality. Leadership also promoted knowledge management use for retrieval, which should lead to the use of that better quality knowledge by the doctors, ultimately resulting in better outcomes for patients.

Theoretical framework of critical success factors (CSFs) for Business Intelligence (BI) System

Business Intelligence (BI) is relatively a new evolving research topic, it lacks to develop its own theoretical foundations. This study aims to propose theoretical framework of BI system success which combines together the critical success factors (CSFs) for BI system with quality constructs as a measurements to assess BI success. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by adding a new organizational factors such as user empowerment and organizational structure as a CSFs for BI system.

Big data maturity model for Malaysian zakat institutions to embark on big data initiatives

Organizations worldwide are dealing with immense growth of data at a huge speed hence making it difficult to manage. The main difficulty in handling such large amount of data is due to the five big data concepts involving volume, velocity, variety, veracity and value which increases rapidly in comparison to the computing resources. One of the arms of the government which holds the responsibility of managing the almsgiving or zakat is currently facing similar issues with the growing amount of data on zakat payers, zakat distribution and various zakat recipients. The overwhelming amount of data must be carefully managed by the zakat institution and the appointed zakat fund trustee. Zakat data resides in massive, unstructured information, largely in various forms of numeric, text and imagery. Hence, there exist a need for zakat institutions to have better data management mechanism namely to coordinate and govern data between the zakat institution and zakat fund trustee offices. This study proposes a big data maturity model to gauge the readiness of zakat institutions to embark into the big data evolution. The proposed model also aims to provide the zakat institution with more structured processes of managing the high volume of data in order to provide better reporting transparency, making well-informed decisions and instill better trust from the Islamic community on better zakat management and distribution.

Understanding Health Professionals’ Intention to Use Telehealth in Yemen: Using the DeLone and McLean IS Success Model

Telehealth is considered as an innovative technology for enhancing healthcare systems in rural areas. Rural areas in Yemen are suffering from poor healthcare due to limited access of health services. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine Health Professionals’ intention to use Telehealth in Yemen. Delone and Mclean model has been developed by integrating indirect factor “Anxiety” from the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). A quantitative approach based on self-administrated questionnaire has been deployed. SPSS has been used for analysis purposes. Results found that factors System quality, Information quality, Service quality, Net benefit and User satisfaction had a positive and significant impact on Intention to use Telehealth. The results revealed that the Health Professionals have intention to use the Telehealth to do their duties.

Towards improving the healthcare services in least developed countries: a case of health needs assessment for telehealth in Yemen

Motivated by the need to improve the healthcare system in least developed countries, this paper aims to investigate the need for utilizing aspects of Telehealth by rural health facilities in Yemen as a case that represents the least developed countries. A qualitative approach has been adopted in this paper. The review of documents taken from the Yemeni Ministry of Public Health, among others, revealed the lack of health facilities, professionals, equipment, and funds; inequity in the distribution of health facilities, professionals, and equipment between urban and rural; and lack of unified health information system and unified database. The observation revealed three categories of needs: needs in the provision of healthcare services, health professionals’ needs; and needs in health management information. Analysis of the findings shows that Telehealth is appropriate solution and has the potential to improve the current health status by providing quality health services and exchange health information among rural areas in Yemen.
