Healthcare can be enhanced by the effective use of information technology to improve the quality and safety of care and many healthcare providers are adopting advanced health information technology to improve their healthcare delivery process. Qatar is a relatively young Middle Eastern country with an ambitious and progressive national strategy to develop its healthcare system, including an advanced e-health infrastructure delivering the right medical information at the right time to clinicians and patients. To assess the effectiveness of such programs, it is important to have a pre-intervention baseline from which comparisons, performance against target measures and forward thinking strategic planning can be grounded. This study presents the first published campus wide survey of Hospital Information Systems in large public and private hospitals in Qatar.
To qualitatively assess and describe the current state of Hospital Information Systems in large hospitals in Qatar, and to establish a baseline or reference point for Qatar's readiness for, and adoption of Hospital Information Systems.
有效利用信息技术可提升医疗保健水平，从而改善医疗质量与安全，许多医疗服务提供者正在采用先进的健康信息技术来改进其医疗服务流程。卡塔尔是一个相对年轻的中东国家，拥有一项雄心勃勃且与时俱进的国家战略，旨在发展其医疗保健系统，其中包括先进的电子健康基础设施，能够在恰当的时间向临床医生和患者提供正确的医疗信息。为评估此类项目的有效性，拥有一个干预前的基线很重要，据此可进行比较、对照目标指标衡量绩效并开展前瞻性战略规划。本研究展示了卡塔尔大型公立和私立医院首次发表的全院范围医院信息系统调查。
定性评估和描述卡塔尔大型医院医院信息系统的当前状态，并为卡塔尔在医院信息系统的准备情况和采用程度建立一个基线或参考点。
