 Assessment of hospital information systems success in hospitals of Urmia University of Medical Sciences based on the model Adjusted DeLone and McLean  Jebraeily M[1]*, Maleki M[2], Akbari S[3], Dehghani M[4], Salim Amini L[5]  Received: 6 Nov , 2014 Accepted: 22 Dec , 2014  Abstract  Background & Aim: Given the multiplicity of successful information systems and the existence of different stakeholders, DeLone and McLean systems have been widely adopted by other researchers as a comprehensive model for assessing information systems. The aim of this study was to determine the success of HIS in the hospitals of Urmia University of Medical Sciences based on the adjusted DeLone - McLean model.  Materials & Methods:  This is a descriptive - cross sectional study which was conducted in 2014.The study population consisted of 180 HIS users (from different types of jobs including physicians, nurses, paraclinical and HIM staffs) from Teaching Hospitals affiliated to Urmia University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected using a self-structured questionnaire which was estimated as both reliable and valid. The data were analyzed by SPSS using software descriptive statistics and analytical statistics (t-test and chi-square).  Results: HIS highest success rate based on three criteria related to the quality of system (3.11), and the lowest rate related to the information quality (2.78). The tests result showed that none of the three criteria (system quality, information quality and service quality) was satisfactory (P < 0.05).  Conclusion: According to the survey results, to improve the system quality, it seems necessary to make the system user friendly, to speed up the data entry, to improve usability and flexibility of HIS. Also to increase the quality of information, the comprehensiveness, accuracy, and appropriateness of the reports should be improved. Using advanced hardware, equipment and support services will result in the users complete satisfaction.   Keywords: Hospital information systems, success, Adjusted DeLone - McLean model, system quality, information quality, service quality  Address: Department of Health Information Technology, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Urmia  University of Medical Sciences  Tel:(+98) 4432752300  Email: jabraily@gmail.com  This article resulted from research project No 92-1344 funded by deputy of research, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran   [1] Lecturer, Department of Health Information Technology, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Urmia   University of Medical Sciences(Corresponding Author)       [2] Director of Medical Record Department , Urmia University of Medical Sciences       [3] student, Department of Health Information Technology, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Urmia   University of Medical Sciences       [4] student, Department of Health Information Technology, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Urmia   University of Medical Sciences       [5] student, Department of Health Information Technology, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Urmia   University of Medical Sciences
