Introduction: Electronic health record contains a wide range of information systems that makes possibility of all information about nursing care plans, Prescription, physical evaluation, current complaint and immunization based on known standards, usability of this system by its users, particularly physicians is vital and important considering complexity of EHR. So, this study was conducted with aim to investigate the physicians' expected factors result from implementation of EHR in Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences in 2012. Methods: This study was an applicable and descriptive- analytical research and was conducted in Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences in 2012. Research population was included 129 people composed of faculty physicians and residents according to Census Method. Research tool was a questionnaire from Morton' PHD thesis in Drexel University. Validity of the questionnaire was measured by ideas of specialists and experts and its reliability through test-retest that was %78. Collected data from this questionnaire was analyzed using SPSS19 Software, descriptive statistics methods (frequency distribution and percentage tables, statistical indicators, mean and standard deviation), statistical test, T-TEST and one way ANOVA. Finding: The most obtained scores were related to management support factor (3/65) and lowest ones were proper and adequate Training (3/17). Based on implementation barriers of HER the highest percentage was related to economic costs (84%) and the lowest one was personnel resistance against new technology (50%). The most important benefit of HER is including increased control over business activities (82/9%) from view point of physician. Conclusion: According obtained results from Hormozgan University of Sciences, physician faculty members and residents are agreed to implement HER in this university and there is ability and readiness to implement HER considering provided ideas.

Furthermore, social capital isa public characteristic, but it is resulted from individual efforts in making trust, relationships andcooperation. Without social capital, staff would not have willingness to share information andknowledge. This article investigated the social capital and the learning organization.Methods: This was a descriptive-correlational study with practical and fundamental objectives.The study population included 120 staff of Qom University of Medical Sciences. The sample sizewas 92 subjects according to the Morgan’s table. They were randomly selected and theirviewpoints concerning the social capital were collected. The views were analyzed throughinferential statistics by SPSS software.Results: The results showed that there was a significant correlation between the social capital andlearning organization in Qom University of Medical Sciences (P < 5%).Conclusion: Since social capital influences on improving and promoting the learningorganization, this type of capital in addition with other weaker aspects of social capital inadministrations and departments of medical universities must be identified and strengthened.

Introduction: Recording the reasons of death especially its underlying causes are considered to be themost important data in modifying health-care programs of countries. Therefore, a comprehensivecomputer system, related databases is necessary in analyzing and understanding the main processes inhealth-care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the electronic death registration system in Iran based onits requirements.Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical study conducted in 2011 in 12 medical universities of Iran.The study population consisted of two groups of users and officials of the electronic death registrationsystem in medical sciences universities of our country (n = 50). The data collection Tools of this study is aresearcher-constructed questionnaire based on the Likert scale, and a checklist. The questionnaire wasbased on 3 requirements (user requirements, general requirements, and security requirements). Thechecklist was designed to assess technical requirements. The validity of the questionnaire was approvedby the content validity method (opinions of teachers and scholars of health information management andcomputer sciences). Its reliability was approved using Cronbach’s alpha. Data analysis was conducted bySPSS statistical software version 20 and descriptive statistics.Results: 84.6%, 75.7%, 40.9% of users and experts of medical sciences universities, type 1, respectivelyapproved the existence of user, general, and security requirements. 34.8%, 66.7%, and 22.7% in type 2,and 35.7%, 33.3%, and 20.7% in type 3 universities, respectively, approved the existence of user, general,and security requirements. Moreover, technical requirements are approved by 64.7% of software experts.According to these results, with a mean of 51.7% in user requirements, 58.5% general requirements, and64.7% technical requirements the electronic death registration system is at an acceptable level. However,it is at a weak level in terms of security requirements (28.1%).Conclusion: Weak results of the security requirements show the inefficiency of this system’s software.Therefore, the Ministry of Health and Medical Education should plan to improve the performance of thissoftware in terms of security requirements.
