Hossein Bagherian, Mohammad Sattari
Abstract
Background: A review on the health information systems (HISs) of each country should not be limited only to data collected and reported normally by the service providers. In this regard, the first step for the development in any national project is exploring the experiences of other countries worldwide, especially those with economic, political, cultural, and regional partnerships, and then using their resources and documents to have a broader attitude and a better profitability in planning the development strategy. This study was conducted to review the studies conducted on the causes of HIS success and failure, and the challenges faced by developing countries in using these systems.
