The empirical data is used in organizations all over the world which require the integration of some informational systems like Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Clinical Information System (CIS); these concepts will discover with new form of Bangladeshi public hospital's improvement in Information Technology (IT) sector. The objective of this conceptual paper is to review critically and identify the gaps in current literature aligning with Hospital Information System (HIS) and Electronic Medical Record (EMR), building relationship between EMR and CIS in terms of Bangladeshi public hospital; towards hospital's effectiveness of service operator when public hospital plays an important role to keep the patients data. The proposed conceptual framework assists HIS providers to understand how EMR and CIS can contribute to improve the hospitals patient database. More over the paper presents an analysis in various aspects of EMR and CIS complying with a conceptual framework which can attract the researchers in Hospital information System field and public hospital management field for the better presences of information technology for the patients. Hospital Information System (HIS) is essential in hospitals especially which deals with high-quality healthcare treatments. HIS helps to improve patients care services. Thus, the Bangladesh Government has not introduced any kind of HIS for public hospitals of Bangladesh. Moreover, there is no study on HIS implementation in Bangladeshi public hospital.
AN OVERVIEW OF HOSPITAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (HIS) IMPLEMENTATION IN MALAYSIA

However, not all public hospitals in Malaysia have embraced the use of the system. Thus, this paper discusses an overview of HIS implementation at Malaysian hospitals based on previous studies done in this area. Prior to the discussion, several components and types of HIS are explained in general. Furthermore, benefits on HIS implementation are also being described to emphasise the importance of HIS implementation in Malaysian Public Hospitals which is recognising the reasons to implement the system in Malaysian Hospitals.
The current era in which we live is characterized by an increase in information around us and an increase in our use of and reliance on this information in our daily lives. This is evident in the widespread growth in the adoption of the Internet and information technology as a method of contemporary management. Administrative processes of a paper-based nature to operations of an electronic nature by adopting technology in management. This means transferring documents and paper records in the organization to electronic documents. This is what is called electronic work or management without a leaf. So, the major objective of this work is to investigate the role of Electronic Medical Records " EMR " in enhancing the performance of medical administration in Saudi hospitals as well as describing the concept of electronic medical record and its importance as EMR now become the most secure and efficient technology that can eliminate traditional paper routines and transform them into efficient data efficiency with shortening time and space.After making such investigation and analysis, it is cocluded that the patient or recipient of the service from medical or clinic equipped with computerized electronic records " EMR " is preferred against the traditional clinics or clinics by 62%, while 44% of the patients believe that this is not important. In other statistics, patients' opinions were taken between two equal levels of abilities and experiences, one with computerized records and the other with paper records indicating that 79% of them chose the computer based on the traditional and the reason is the expected accuracy of this computing.
Hospital Information Systems: a Study of Electronic Patient Records
JISTEM Journal of Information Systems and Technology Management, 2011
The importance of patient records, also known as medical records, is related to different needs and objectives, as they constitute permanent documents on the health of patients. With the advancement of information technologies and systems, patient records can be stored in databases, resulting in a positive impact on patient care. Based on these considerations, a research question that arises is "what are the benefits and problems that can be seen with the use of electronic versions of medical records?" This question leads to the formulation of the following hypothesis: although problems can be identified during the process of using electronic record systems, the benefits outweigh the difficulties, thereby justifying their use. To respond to the question and test the presented hypothesis, a research study was developed with users of the same electronic record system, consisting of doctors, nurses, and administrative personnel in three hospitals located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The results show that, despite some problems in their usage, the benefits of electronic patient records outweigh possible disadvantages.
Developing electronic medical records (EMR) framework for Malaysia's public hospitals
2011
Today, the usage of information technology (IT) in healthcare sector including public hospitals has become more widespread. IT tools such as Electronic Medical Records (EMR) have been found to improve the efficiency of hospital services especially in terms of patient data management. However, only several public hospitals in Malaysia are using the EMR system to manage their filing system. Therefore, this paper discusses the issues that arise in adopting the EMR among public hospitals, and proposes a framework of EMR adoption for Malaysia's public hospitals. In this paper, the EMR system is discussed in general. Theories related to technology adoption are also discussed in general. Moreover, issues concerning the adoption of EMR system in previous studies are also discussed. These issues include cost-related issues, technology-related issues, knowledge-related issues, human-related issue, and legal issues. These issues may influence the adoption of EMR to improve healthcare quality service. Consequently, EMR Adoption Model for public hospitals is proposed. The framework model might provide a guideline to Malaysia's public hospitals to adopt and use the EMR system successfully while simultaneously reducing the present problems of the adoption.

Evaluating hospital information systems leads to the improvement and devotion based on the users' needs, especially the medical records section users in hospitals, which are in contact with this system from the moment the patient enters the hospital until his/ her release and after that. The present research aimed to evaluate the hospital information systems from the point of view of the medical record section employees. Materials and method: The current research was applicative-descriptive analytical and the research society included 70 users of the medical history section in the educational-medical centers of Kermanshah city. The data-gathering tool was the 10th part of 9241/ 10 Isometric standard questionnaire of evaluating hospital information systems, with 75 specific questions in 7 bases, with the five spectra Likertt scale, its conceptual admissibility being confirmed in previous researches. 22 SPSS statistical software analyzed its permanency in the present study, which was also confirmed by Cronbach's's alpha test, which equaled to 0.89, and the data. Findings: The highest level of the employees' satisfaction, based on gained scores median, was respectively the incompatibility with the users' expectations, measuring 3.55, self-description measuring 3.54 and controllability - 3.51, which in total presented the average scores of 3.39, the lowest level of satisfaction being related to useful learning , whose value was 3.19. Discussion and conclusion: Hospital information systems' users believe that it is more desirable that the existing systems are based on the measures and consider them proper for making them non-governmental and useful for undesired learning. Considering the long distance of the existing information systems with the desired performance, it is essential that "these systems pay more attention to a more complete and deeper recognition and awareness of users' opinions and requirements in their road. The movement and development is to increase their chance in succeeding and achieving their goals, where the goal is to improve the patients' care and improve the health of the society members with the help of information technology.
