Abstract:
Background Health information systems have emerged as a major component in our response to the trends of rising demands in health care. The insight being gained from the evaluation of those systems can critically influence the shaping of the response. Summative or formative evaluation of health information systems assesses their quality, acceptance, and usefulness, creates insight for improvement, discriminates between options, and refines future development strategies. But the evaluation of health information systems can be challenging due to the propagation of their impacts through multiple

Abstract:
Health systems are complex systems characterised by constant change and a web of interwoven relationships, connections, and interactions. Health Policy and Systems Research has called for multidisciplinary approaches to understanding health systems.

The role of the media as societal watchdog; as a mechanism to improve accountability; as a platform for debate; and as a facilitator of community engagement has been reco

As community-based governance structures in the service delivery of primary health care, health committees can promote the quality, accessibility and responsiveness of service delivery.

Hence, health committees provide a bottom-up strategy to realise the right to health and a people-centred health system.

Among all the health IT, electronic health record (EHR) systems hold great promises as they modernize the paradigm and practice of care provision. However, empirical studies in the literature found mixed evidence on whether EHRs improve quality of care. I posit two explanations for the mixed evidence. First, most prior studies failed to account for system use and only focused on EHR purchase or adoption.

Esta dissertação propõe um processo de integração e implantação dos sistemas de gestão da qualidade, meio-ambiente e segurança e saúde ocupacional, os quais, atualmente, operam de forma isolada numa empresa. O negócio da empresa em questão é a produção de gases industriais e pretende que o processo de integração considere a cultura da organização e os esforços movidos nesta direção. A metodologia utilizada para a integração da gestão dos sistemas já é de uso e conhecimento das organizações e da academia e foi selecionada conforme equipe experiente e designada para este propósito, parti

Abstract:
In Saudi Arabia, medical errors are at an alarming level. Lack of a Health Information Exchange (HIE) system is one the greatest reasons for medical errors in the Kingdom. Health care in many countries has evolved with the invention of electronic health information exchange system, henceforth HIE. This research paper purposes to implement HIE in Saudi Arabia, which entirely does not have a system of the sort. It is imperative instill HIE in the health care system in Saudi to allow physicians, nurses, health care facilities as well as patients to electronically share medical information in a sa

Abstract:
Shared electronic health record (EHR) systems constitute an important Telemedicine and e-Health application. Successful implementation of shared health records calls for a satisfactory level of security. This is invariably achieved through applying and enforcing strict, and often quite complicated, rules and procedures in the access process. For this reason, information security strategy for EHR systems is needed to be in place. This research reviewed the definition of different terms that related to electronically stored and shared health records and delineated related information security te

Thesis advisor: Sarah Babb<br>Since 2000, the global health management approach of health systems strengthening (HSS) has gained support from many local and international stakeholders. This thesis investigates the diffusion of the HSS norm in the global health community and within two disease programs of malaria and tuberculosis. I show how strong support for HSS by the global health community has been overwhelmed by coercive pressure from resourcewielding funding and governance structures. Drawing on organizational theory, I argue that global health organizations and experts have engaged in s

Abstract:
A major problem to be solved in health informatics is high quality, structured and timely data collection. Standard terminologies and uniform domain conceptual models are important steps to alleviate this problem which are also proposed to enable interoperability among systems. With the aim of contributing to the solution of this problem, this study proposes novel features for the Archetypes and multi-level modeling technique in health information and knowledge modeling. The study consists of the development of a research prototype for endoscopic data management, and based on that experience,
