ديدگاه كاربران نسبت به كاربرد نرم افزار پذيرش - ترخيص ADS-9

Introduction: Admission Discharge System-9 (ADS-9) is a software gathering information about patients and their diseases in a uniform method. This descriptive study was aimed to study the points of views of users about application of ADS-9 software in teaching hospitals of Iran and Shahid Beheshti universities of medical sciences in 2002. Method: In this research, study population was divided to two groups: 1) ADS-9 software users of mentioned hospitals and 2) ADS-9 software designers and executive practitioners of Statistics Departments of Iran and Shahid Beheshti universities of medical sciences (executive staff) and Research Department of Ministry of Health and Medical Education (central staff). Data were collected using two questionnaires and one verbal interview. Results: Finding indicated that, the points of views of the users concerning application of the software in teaching hospitals were different in many aspects. When relations between usersʹ views and their education levels or their years of experience were compared, most of them with different years of experience (%68.19) and various education levels (%63.64) evaluated its efficiency in a moderate level. Software users in executive staff and central staff had different attitudes about its application in disease analysis and ..using its information in management. Also, in this group when relation between userʹs views and their education levels, . field of study and years of experience were investigated, 42.86% of them with associate and bachelor degrees, 57.14% of Medical Records graduates, and 42.86% with years of experience between 10-15 evaluated its efficiency in a high level. Conclusion: Considering the results, we can conclude that the most important way of promoting quality and quantity of ADS-9 software is to pay attention to users needs, especially in hospitals and health centers. Because, lack of some abilities not only will influence accuracy and validity of information, but also will prohibit fluency and velocity of users ʹ performance.
