Software Req
Abstract.
This study was conducted to evaluate the hospital information system
This software based on user requirements in Egypt . softwares were evaluated based on checklist and through the observation in 8 hospitals according to defined criteria.
However,
Various systems has not efficiently met user expectations in all departments; medical records (74.5%), pharmacy (58.6%), laboratory (74.5%), nursing (23.3%), radiology (51.4%) and financial (65.4%). Minimum user requirements (29%) have been met.
There was no software to meet the end users expectations in all departments completely. Failure to meet the user expectations among software that addresses all user expectations appropriately could be ascribed to poor user participation and revealed that software adoption is still in infancy. Conducting periodical evaluation; employing a comprehensive tool for hospital software evaluation is crucial to ensure their effective implementation and improvement.
