There exists abundant literature on HISs, but implementation-based literature of HIS is rare, typically about progressive countries. However, a study that can comprehensively review published articles is scarce. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the systematic and comprehensive study of HIS in developed countries. Together, the benefits and harms relevant to HIS\u2019s different mechanisms have been considered, and the fundamental challenges of them are addressed to design more efficient HIS in the future.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>HIS has been used globally for numerous years and is now being used in a wide area. HIS is broadly used in clinical settings. Information technology (IT) and information system have been suggested as a required piece to solve the health-care-related issues. Hence, to improve HIS\u2019s ability, this paper conducted a review method concentratating on research related to HIS until 2019. A total of 21 papers were recognized and examined as principal research for the summary.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The authors found that HIS can help in reduction of medical mistakes, enhancement doctors\u2019 performance and increase in the quality of the care provided. HIS management can be used to provide better health-care services. Therefore, HIS must be sensible and use clear structures. The authors conclude that, generally, with an increase in awareness, acceptability and the need for HIS worldwide, there will be more strategies and approaches available.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>First, this paper provides an outline of the status of HIS. Second, it identifies some distinct research gaps that could be worth studying. Some flawless work may be removed because of applying some filters to select the original articles. Surveying all the papers on the topic of HIS is impossible, too.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Design and sustainability of HIS is still a big issue for most developing countries, despite its wide usage in the developed countries. The technology is changing rapidly, so the field should be reviewed regularly. This paper suggests a suitable framework that will guide HIS in the local conditions of developing countries.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Social implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The government will be assisted by the suggested solving ways in its performance and design of electronic health-care projects.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The study brings the viewpoints on the state of HIS mechanisms in developing countries. The paper\u2019s results can offer visions into future research requirements. By providing comparative information and analyzing the current growths in this area, this study will support researchers and professionals to understand the progress in HIS mechanisms better.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/k-09-2020-0590","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,9]],"date-time":"2021-04-09T13:45:26Z","timestamp":1617975926000},"page":"3286-3304","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Hospital information systems in developing countries: a state-of-the-art systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Jie","family":"Lei","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianming","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"key2021112310582940100_ref001","article-title":"Adoption of free open source geographic information system solution for health sector in Zanzibar Tanzania","volume":"8","year":"2014","journal-title":"Journal of Health Informatics in Developing Countries"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2021112310582940100_ref002","first-page":"29","article-title":"An overview of patient acceptance of health information technology in developing countries: a review and conceptual model","volume":"3","year":"2015","journal-title":"International Journal of Information Systems and Project Management"},{"year":"2018","key":"key2021112310582940100_ref003","article-title":"Recommender systems: a systematic review of the state of the art literature and suggestions for future research"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2021112310582940100_ref004","first-page":"9","article-title":"Post-implementation evaluation of healthcare information systems in developing countries","volume":"13","year":"2010","journal-title":"Electronic Journal of Information Systems Evaluation"},{"issue":"8","key":"key2021112310582940100_ref005","first-page":"40","article-title":"Barriers in adoption of health information technology in developing societies","volume":"2","year":"2011","journal-title":"Int J Adv Comput Sci Appl"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2021112310582940100_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"22","DOI":"10.1186\/1472-6947-10-22","article-title":"Open source challenges for hospital information system (HIS) in developing countries: a pilot project in Mali","volume":"10","year":"2010","journal-title":"BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making"},{"key":"key2021112310582940100_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"112387","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2019.112387","article-title":"Invisible work and changing roles: health information technology implementation and reorganization of work practices for the inpatient nursing team","volume":"235","year":"2019","journal-title":"Social Science and Medicine"},{"key":"key2021112310582940100_ref008","first-page":"381","article-title":"Developing health information systems in developing countries: the flexible standards strategy","year":"2007","journal-title":"Mis Quarterly"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2021112310582940100_ref009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"27","DOI":"10.5120\/801-1138","article-title":"Information and communication technology in healthcare management systems: prospects for developing countries","volume":"4","year":"2010","journal-title":"International Journal of Computer Applications"},{"key":"key2021112310582940100_ref010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"388","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbusres.2017.12.012","article-title":"A maturity model for hospital information systems","volume":"94","year":"2019","journal-title":"Journal of Business Research"},{"journal-title":"International Journal for Quality in Health Care","article-title":"Zap it track it: the application of lean six sigma methods to improve the screening system of low-grade mucinous neoplasms of the appendix in an acute hospital setting","year":"2019","key":"key2021112310582940100_ref011"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2021112310582940100_ref012","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"197","DOI":"10.1377\/hlthaff.2018.05447","article-title":"Does health information exchange improve patient outcomes?
