Since hospital information systems (HISs) are among the most important information systems in the health sector, the present study aimed to shed light upon the situation of HISs in selected countries of the Persian Gulf region to reflect national strategies and activities in the case of HISs.
In this descriptive cross-sectional study, the information about HISs status of the selected countries of the Persian Gulf region were obtained through approaches including review of national and international resources. Then, according to aspects included in HIS status, content analysis was performed. Information obtained from content analysis after several stages of reading, was categorized and then findings, presented.
The findings revealed that the surveyed countries have widely used HISs since the 1980s. HIS use and development vary to a certain extent. Since the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, Ministry of Health officials of the studied countries have considered the importance of HIS's integration and creating Electronic Health Record where, Oman, Bahrain and UAE are among the leading countries.
Since the emergence of HISs in healthcare centers, these countries have employed various approaches. In any case, in order to avoid wasting important resources, including financial and human ones, the use of successful experiences of other countries along with the formulation of a comprehensive plan is highly recommended while considering all HIS aspects, including national and international standards.
由于医院信息系统（HISs）是卫生部门最重要的信息系统之一，本研究旨在阐明波斯湾地区部分国家的医院信息系统状况，以反映各国在医院信息系统方面的战略和活动。
在这项描述性横断面研究中，通过查阅国家和国际资源等方法，获取了波斯湾地区部分国家医院信息系统的现状信息。然后，根据医院信息系统现状所包含的方面进行内容分析。经过几个阅读阶段从内容分析中获得的信息进行分类，然后呈现研究结果。
研究结果显示，自20世纪80年代以来，被调查国家广泛使用医院信息系统。医院信息系统的使用和发展在一定程度上存在差异。自21世纪第一个十年中期以来，被研究国家的卫生部官员已认识到医院信息系统整合和创建电子健康记录的重要性，其中阿曼、巴林和阿联酋处于领先地位。
自医疗中心出现医院信息系统以来，这些国家采用了各种方法。无论如何，为避免浪费包括财政和人力在内的重要资源，强烈建议借鉴其他国家的成功经验并制定全面计划，同时考虑医院信息系统的所有方面，包括国家和国际标准。
