Obstacles and Features of Health Information Systems: A Systematic Literature Review

Introduction

In this day and age, the healthcare industry is increasingly reliant on technology. Almost all registrations, including health care, are following suit. In the near future, we may use blockchain to trade health data. Since then, IT solutions have been used by various healthcare industries. There are GP/pharmacy/lab information systems as well as GP information systems. All of them are HIS (HISs). The usage of HIS may improve the quality and efficiency of patient care. Delivering high-quality treatment and securing compensation is dependent on a well-operating Health Information System (HIS). The gathering of trustworthy data on population health, system performance, and population health is promoted by an effective health information system.

Background

Today, a growing number of health information management are being utilized by a range of health care organizations to help their operations. Health information systems research work is sparse, and no comprehensive review of the present status of HISs has yet been described. HIS data is difficult to understand and classify in continuation over this. This article examines and Health information systems from a variety of perspectives. Desktop computers used to do the task, but nowadays mobile phones and central computer servers are increasingly common. Each HIS has its own set of characteristics due to the wide variety of healthcare settings and HIS implementation strategies. Health Information Systems Health information systems used to just track medical history, but now they do much more. All of HIS's qualities are critical to its performance. In addition to clinical notes and medication management, HIS also manages electronic health records (EHR). Creating, utilizing, and maintaining these HISs is a challenge. Many studies have shown problems that are similar to those seen in HISs. HISs have been studied extensively, but it's not clear to whom and in what areas they may aid. The goal of this research is to use an SLR to evaluate HISs. For the time being, we'll focus on mapping stakeholders, domains, deployments, features, and issues (obstacles). All of these issues have come up in previous assessments. In order to locate remedies, these evaluators looked at the papers. However, no current research study has been able to identify and quantify all of the challenges. Stakeholder concerns may be better understood via a literature study. Both academics and practitioners might benefit from the findings. It's possible for practitioners to recognize issues and incorporate them into the system. This work may be improved by researchers focusing on the issues. Kitchenham et al. used the same approach for software engineering as well. As a result, we focused on a subset of HISs rather than the whole system. . (Kitchenham, 2019)

Current Hypothesis

According to Kitchenham, data from 136 original studies was utilized to assess the current state of HISs. Hospital information systems (HIS) and related subjects such as diagnostics and surgery were covered in a number of papers. Health information systems (HISs) are anticipated to have an effect on the extent of stakeholder categories and qualities reported. Usage issues appears to be the only healthcare sector-specific subcategory among many of the obstacles.

Methodology:

All of the HISs in the world, as well as their features, stakeholders, and characteristics as well as barriers are listed in a systematic literature review.

1.1 Features

We used Kitchenham et al. [22]'s software engineering ideas from Cochrane Collaboration.

As seen in Fig. 1, We iterated till we found a good search string. Included and excluded studies were determined. Quality evaluation weeded out low-quality research. Fourth, we created a data extraction form (healthcare domains, stakeholders).

1.2 Stakeholders

We identified 41 unique stakeholders based on HIS usage (Table 6). The largest group of HIS users, physicians and nurses were among the stakeholders. These are the people who are affected yet do not utilize the system. A total of 45 articles referred to IT professionals. Since papers focused on system users, patients were seldom studied in healthcare. Study participants included both direct and indirect users and IT experts. (Charters, 2018)

Table 6 The number of publications in which each of the 136 key stakeholders is referenced.

Findings

The 136 studies included in the analytic set were synthesized to include all stakeholders, healthcare domains, features, and impediments. All ingredients were prepared as directed Features, Stakeholders,, Healthcare and Domains. After discovering duplication and misspelled words, bottom-up catchall phrase sorting was performed. The original inventor gave anything a label and a rank. Other scholars have classified a part of the story. This study's categorization came after a plenary discussion. There were 73 components and 69 concerns to health care.

Results

Thirteen hundred and forty full-text publications were found by the SLR. Our findings included 33 areas, 41 stakeholder groups, 73-character characteristics and 69 impediments. We explored how these aspects interacted and came up with solutions to the problems that had been highlighted. Quality, use, and maintenance were stressed in terms of technical and operational aspects. To go forward with HIS research, hurdles must be addressed from every angle.

Conclusions

Based on information from three sources, researchers analyzed 136 HIS papers during the previous decade. In-depth coverage of the healthcare industry's many stakeholders and issues This camera should be able to capture images of the human eye. The majority of HIS research focuses on inpatient therapy. Now include and technological stakeholders were identified. The general information system and the health care setting were addressed. A total of around 70 issues are associated with his dependence. There is a broad range of characteristics and obstacles. HIS researchers and users will benefit from this. Assist management in making decisions or implementing new processes. Scientists and software designers may use it to improve healthcare information systems (HIS). The findings of this research might pave the way for new directions in HIS study. An HIS includes changes will be built using SLR. (Budgen, 2017)
