 It seems necessary to modify the curriculum of health information management for PhD students in Iran to improve the quality of education in this filed and respond to the needs of graduates based on the changes in the health field toward digital health and health information technologies.

The implementation of online medical system in the country requires that medical centers respect their patients' rights and satisfaction. Accordingly, the aim of the present study is to assess t he relationship between online search for health information and the improvement of patient services and staff commitment to medical instructions during different stages of treatment.

The present study is a descriptive and applied study. The statistical population of this study includes hospitalized patients and staff working in different wards of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran . Totally, 297 individuals participated in this study . Based on Cochran's formula, a sample of 170 partic ipants was selected and were studied using a standard questionnaire with Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient greater than 0.7. SPSS 20 software was used to analyze the data in two levels of descriptive and analytical statistics.

The analysis of hypotheses using structural equation modeling showed that online information search before the start of the treatment period, the nature of interactions during the treatment period , and upgrading the capabilities of the service provider to improve physi cian - patient communication through physician coordination and patient, as well as the quality of nurse - patient relationship play a significant role in the practice of physician s’ instructions by patients.

Based on the results of present researc h, it is suggested that sufficient facilities and infrastructure for us ing Internet and information technology should be made available to the public in order to use the benefits of the online medical system for different segments of society.

Creating and developing the infrastructure for timely access to high-quality health information, for all people in accordance with their needs and without discrimination, is the responsibility of of policy-makers and decision-makers in the country. Despite all efforts, there are still inequalities in the provision of health information services between cities and villages, some of which include inequality in health centers, inequality in educational centers, inequality in information technology, inequality in access to information resources, inequality in libraries, inequality in availability of health information professionals. Efforts to address these inequalities will lead to more equitable access to health services, and improve public health.

The international drug classification systems are very helpful tools in the managing process of drugs and drug related information. This narrative review study aims to survey and compare the characteristics and applications of these systems.

In order to identify the international drug classification systems, a search was done in 2019 and in various sources, including PubMed and Scopus databases, as well as Google Scholar search engine, drug databases, specialized websites and electronic files containing information about the system. The search strategy consists of the keywords Drug, Classification system, Coding system and International along with their synonyms. Systems were entered into the study for which information was available. These systems were examined and compared in terms of release date, classification domain, developer organization, basic framework, system structure, code structure and updating period. The main applications of these systems were also extracted.

The search resulted in 10 international drug classification systems, ATC/DDD, ATCvet, HerbalATC, AT-EphMRA, NFC, AHFS, PCNE, UNSPSC, ICPM and ICD-10. Forty percent of systems, classify certain groups of medicines or specific drug information such as herbal medicines, veterinary medicines, medication forms, and drug related problems. All of these systems have been developed by authoritative international organizations and have hierarchical structure. The most significant applications of these systems are to identify drug products, monitor and compare medication usage and study drug related problems.

The international drug classification systems have been developed to classify different drug groups and their information. However, none of them comprehensively cover all the drug information. Therefore, the development of a comprehensive international drug classification system can be a good way to use these systems more effectively in drug management.

Visualization of the science has a significant role in discovering the latent patterns of scientific fields, especially in interdisciplinary and new fields. This study aimed to identify major research approaches to health information technology (HIT) worldwide with the purpose of scientific mapping of new developments in health information technology based on WoS articles and helping the research and educational activities related to future studies.

Scientometrics was used in this descriptive study. For this purpose, worldwide HIT references were extracted from the WoS database between 2010 and 2017 (5301 articles). Then, articles were analyzed in HistCite 12.03.17.

Based on the extracted articles, six primary clusters of HIT were identified. The primary category concerned the cost-benefit of information systems, especially the Electronic Health Record (EHR). Secondary clusters included the following areas: acceptance and failure of information systems and implementation issues; HIT challenges in security and confidentiality along with the impacts on medical ethics; the role of HIT in improving the quality of health services; the interoperability of EHR and the future usability of HIT area such as Telemedicine & Telehealth.

Cost and benefit of information systems were the main area of research in the field of health information technology based on WoS articles. This issue has been closely related to the success and failure of information systems and attention to the usability of health information systems.

Objective (s):

 Health surveillance systems provide regular and continuous monitoring and analysis of health issues, coordination of information production collections and ensuring the use of information. Strategic guidance to the (2025) prospect requires precise, comprehensive and timely information. According to the rules of the fifth and sixth five-year development plans of the I.R. of Iran and the original features of the health policy system, it is necessary to design a health monitoring system. This study aimed to design a health observatory system in Iran.

This was a system design study. Initially, the principles for designing this system were formulated by reviewing the experiences of other countries, the history of the subject in the country, documents, analyzing the status of production and managing health information, and studying the platforms for deploying the observatory system. Then, prepared draft was reviewed and finalized in three stages by experts, and representatives of data and information producers using a written letter and a focused group discussion.

In this proposed model, principles of observatory system, observation functions, types of reporting methods, added outputs and value, observatory system products, main dimensions of observatory system, processes, procedures and standards, financial resources, information security and executive guarantee was considered that can be implemented and deployed in one of the organizational units.

The system designed with the approval of the High Council of Health and Food Security can lead to obtaining the budget line of national surveys in the parliament or the program organization and facilitate its establishment in one of the universities or the headquarters of the Ministry of Health.

Altmetrics (Alternative Indicators) are indicators which can be exploited alongside traditional scientometrics concepts based on citation analysis to examine the impact of scientific products on the Web 2 environment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of international articles in the field of medical informatics and health information management in social media and to determine the researchers' use of these media and identify top articles based on Altmetrics scores.

The present study was conducted with a scientometrics approach, using Altmetric indicators. The research population is 64 journals in the field of health information management, medical informatics indexed at the SJR (Sciemgo) and Scopus databases. All the necessary information about the journals and articles, such as the name of the journal, the name of the article, the altimetric score, etc. was obtained by referring to Altmetric.com. Spearman correlation test was used to analyze the data.

Mendeley, Twitter, and Facebook, were among the social media that received the most mentions. The findings indicated that there was a significant relationship between altmetrics coverage (presence in social web environment) and three quality performances Indices (SJR, Snipe and the Site Score). The correlation coefficients obtained for these three indices were, 0.401, 0.248 and 0.285, respectively.

Social media can have a positive effect on the citation rate of scientific articles. Therefore, researchers in the field of medical informatics and health information management can increase the number of citations by sharing their works on social media. Due to the lack of strong correlation in this study, altmetrics can be used to complement scientometrics indices, but not as a alternative to evaluating scientific research.

The speed of service delivery in medical centers, especially emergencies, is of particular importance in reducing mortality and disability. Time management in providing vital and short-term health care services can endanger patients' lives. One of the most important indicators used in the evaluation of emergency centers is the waiting time for patients to receive diagnostic and treatment services. This study was conducted in 1397 in order to study the timing indicators and design of the management dashboard in a specialized heart center in Tehran.

This type of research is a section in which the emergency time indicators of the Ministry of Health were examined. All the relevant data in the emergency department was collected in a hospital in Tehran in 1397. Then, the design and creation of the dashboard was loaded based on the data of the indicators specified in the emergency department using QuickView software and the performance of this section was presented.

In the present study, six emergency timing indicators were examined. Then, according to the information obtained, the relevant dashboard was designed.

Reducing the length of stay in the emergency department leads to increased patient satisfaction and potentially cost savings. The main mission of the emergency is to providing high quality services in the shortest possible time. Prolonged emergency stops reduced the possibility of providing services to other patients in need of emergency medical care, which can lead to patient dissatisfaction and increased casualties.

Recognizing the current situation and comparing research activities on various topics has made it important today to evaluate research activities using scientometrics techniques. The purpose of this study was to conduct co-word and co-authorship analysis of the articles published in the Journal of Health Information Management (JHIM) from 2009 to 2018.

The data for this study were extracted from Islamic World Science Citation Center(ISC). The statistical population of the study consisted of 807 articles published in the JHIMin a ten-year period (2009-2018).

Isfahan University of Medical Sciences was the most prolific institution with the production of 236 articles. Over 94% of articles werepublished collaboratively. Mohammad Hossein Yarmohammadian had the highest scores in terms of centrality indicators. The keyword "hospitals" was the most frequently used keywords in the JHIM. Hierarchical clustering indicated seven clusters with the themesofhospital services and performance, knowledge management in universities, hospital information systems, quantitative measurement studies of health information, health Indicators, health information management and technology, and quality of health care in hospitals.

The scientific collaboration approach among authors has been relatively good at producing scientific works. However, there are several authors with a limited number of articles. There are also a small number of core institutions and universities in producing scientific worksin the field of health information management. With the exception of the knowledge management cluster at the universities, all the obtained clusters are aligned with the journal's thematic axes.

Quality information is essential for evidence-based decision-making and improving the performance of the healthcare system. Hence, health information management system should be continuously monitored. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of routine information on the care of patients with diabetes mellitus in rural health centers of Sari County, Iran.

This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018. The statistical population included routine statistical reports of the patients with diabetes mellitus in all rural health centers of Sari County. The sample size was 30 rural health centers selected using census sampling method. Data were collected using a validated Performance of Routine Information Systems Management (PRISM) tool, which had four dimensions including timeliness, accuracy, completeness, and data processing. The gathered data were reported using descriptive statistics.

81.50 percent of data was timely. The accuracy of the data was between 39.99 and 53.33 percent, and the overall compliance was 16.67 percent. 94.90 percent of the quarterly reports of the patients with diabetes mellitus was complete. 86.66 percent of the units calculated the indicators for their own units, summarized the reports, and compared the performance of the service-provider units. However, the comparative indicators of the related activity were neglected.

According to the results of this study, the accuracy of data in rural health centers is not optimal. Logically, the existing weaknesses prevent the attainment of data collection purpose, which in turn makes its citation and use unattainable.

Implementation of in-service training programs is a set of needs-based and planned training activities designed to improve and enhance the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors of members of the organization to perform specific organizational tasks.
