Adoption of Hospital Information System (HIS) in Malaysian Public Hospitals

Hospital Information System (HIS) is important to be adopted by the hospitals to improve their operations and services. Despite their importance, only 15.2% of Malaysian Public Hospitals implemented the system through THIS, IHIS and BHIS categories which shows low adoption level of HIS in Malaysia. This study aims to identify factors affecting the HIS adoption across different categories of HIS's hospitals. The finding showed that there are significant differences between factors affecting HIS adoption in the THIS compared to IHIS's hospitals, and THIS and BHIS's hospitals. However there is no significant difference among factors between IHIS with BHIS's hospitals. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
