Abstract
BACKGROUND: Quality dimensions are the most important criteria for predicting the success of an information system. The current study aims to evaluate the success of the Iran Electronic Health Record System (SEPAS) based on the DeLone and McLean model for information system success. METHOD: This nationwide cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021. Participants were 468 health information management personnel who had working experience with SEPAS. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on the DeLone and McLean model. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were confirmed. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22 through descriptive and analytic analysis including t-test and ANOVA. RESULTS: Most participants were female (70.9%) and almost half of the participants mean age was between 30 and 40 years old (49.6%). The total mean of SEPAS success was 3.42 ± 0.53. According to the participants' perspectives "system quality" was the most influencing factor on SEPAS success. The least influencing factor was SEPAS "benefits". There was a significant relationship between the mean score of SEPAS success and age (p value = 0.001), Education level (p value = 0.01), and Work experience (p value < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The total mean of system success was not acceptable. SEPAS has not been much successful in providing net benefits like provision of electronic services which locate patients in the center and improve the delivery of care to them. It sounds that SEPAS is not stable enough that means crashes sometimes. Hence, considering the required infrastructures for quick response and stability is more critical, especially when healthcare providers are supposed to use the SEPAS.
