| Summary: | Background and
Aim: X-Ray departments
are among the most essential and expensive parts of any healthcare
organization. Meanwhile, the proper application of hospital information systems
(HIS) leads to the quality enhancement of health services and to the cost
reduction of medical departments. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the
knowledge of radiology department staffs in hospitals affiliated to Hamadan
University of Medical Sciences (HUMS) about HIS applications. Materials and
Methods: In
this descriptive research (2012), the knowledge of radiology department staffs
in HUMS hospitals was studied using a two-part questionnaire including a
demographic part and standard items to evaluate the HIS knowledge of radiology
department staffs. Finally, the obtained data were analyzed statistically by
SPSS (version 17). Results:
The results showed that 3.8% of staff members had a weak
awareness, 65.4% an average awareness, and 30.8% a good awareness about HIS
applications. Perfect awareness was not observed in this study. Conclusion: According
to the results of this study, running related and up-to-date courses for staff
members working in radiology departments is recommended. |
