Health information systems can improve the quality of services in healthcare. Evaluation of health information systems in hospitals is a very complex process, and it is more effective when different aspects are considered. The present work aims to develop an evaluation framework of an integrated HIS in order to improve the quality of healthcare services provided in Cyprus. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used, that measured three aspects of the system: technology, human factor and organization. Preliminary results showed that while participants seem to agree with the potential benefits of the integrated HIS, safety of data within the HIS is seen as a problem. Qualitatively, the study pointed to 3 factors that might improve the current integrated HIS: increasing interdisciplinary cooperation, training of staff, and upgrading the infrastructure. Further studies will provide a comprehensive picture for Cyprus, so that appropriate measures can be proposed and put in action.
健康信息系统可以提高医疗保健服务的质量。医院健康信息系统的评估是一个非常复杂的过程，当考虑到不同方面时会更有效。目前的工作旨在开发一个综合医院信息系统（HIS）的评估框架，以提高塞浦路斯提供的医疗保健服务质量。采用了定性和定量方法，对系统的三个方面进行了衡量：技术、人为因素和组织。初步结果表明，虽然参与者似乎认同综合医院信息系统的潜在好处，但医院信息系统内的数据安全被视为一个问题。定性方面，该研究指出了可能改善当前综合医院信息系统的三个因素：加强跨学科合作、员工培训和基础设施升级。进一步的研究将为塞浦路斯提供全面的情况，以便能够提出并实施适当的措施。
