1. Introduction

To provide optimal care, healthcare institutions need timely patient information from various sources at the point-of-care, and need a comprehensive, complete and fully functional system to fulfill all the needs.

One way to achieve this is through the use of HIS in healthcare.

2. Hospital Information System (HIS)

HIS is very important factor to support the quality of patient care.

It is supposed to make the right information and knowledge available to the right people, in the right place, at the right time and in the right form.

Information, primarily about patients, in a way that it is correct, pertinent and up-to-date, accessible.

Knowledge, primarily about diseases but also for example about drug actions and adverse effects to support diagnosis and therapy.

Information about the quality of patient care and hospital performance and costs.

4. Review of HIS Software and Vendors

There is a worldwide need for up-to-date bibliographical information on HIS in academic, research and hospital management communities.

This article lists relevant references:

81 HIS Software 16 HIS Worldwide Vendors and Some open Source HIS Software.

5. Methodology

The Questionnaires were designed to assess the level of satisfaction of different HIS users.

Through careful analysis of collected data from Hospitals, some unique characteristics (Key-Factors) of HIS adoption in India have been identified:
1.

Adoption Decision Making Stage Government support and cost justification.

Cont..

National IT standard and regulation essential for healthy HIS development

2.

System Implementation Stage

Organizational size and slack resources User involvement

3.

System Assimilation Stage

Strong perceived usefulness by the user Strong organizational/peer support Computer skills of user

4.

Fundamental HIS Adoption Factors

Fundamental HIS Adoption Factors

Organizational culture Strong executive commitment

HIS Adoption in India

According to their extent of impact and importance, these factors were classified into three main categories: the Fundamental Factors category, the Primary Factors category and the Essential Factors category.

7. Conclusions
Evaluation of HIS must be concluded with regard to some aspects: User requirement, cost containment, goal achievement, etc. There is no single best way to evaluation, However user-centered design account for crucial role in HIS success and its underestimation make HIS failure inevitable.
