Reliable information plays an important role in the health system. Nevertheless, sometimes the society is faced with distortion of facts, manipulation of information, sharing of information without understanding its consequences, and dissemination of fake news, which are types of information disorders. Wardle and Derakhshan classified information disorders into three categories: "Misinformation", "Disinformation" and "Malinformation" (1).Unlike disinformation that is based on completely false information, health malinformation uses valid and acceptable medical information but subject to certain conditions or relatively accurate health information. This information is presented without considering the original context or in an incorrect context to lead people who encounter it to false or misleading impressions and conclusions. In fact, malinformation is reconfigured true information. When background or context, such as time, place, or privacy, is not considered, it can create a perception that conflicts with reality and harm individuals, organizations, and collective understanding (2). The important point in the circulation of health malinformation is the intention of the sender of the information or message, which is done intentionally and with malicious intent in order to cause real harm or the threat of real harm to a person, organization or country. Therefore, in promoting malinformation, the person's intention to harm is certain, not accidental, which can be harmful and even dangerous for others, and at the same time, it has a criminal aspect (3).

Introduction: Considering the beginning of the implementation of electronic prescribing in the country, the present study was conducted with the aim of explaining the challenges during the implementation of electronic prescribing.Research method: This study was conducted using a qualitative method through interviews with physicians working in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in 1401. The participants were selected by purposive sampling, after conducting three in-depth interviews, interview questions were extracted. After the semi-structured interviews were conducted, they were recorded and implemented, in order to analyze them, content analysis method and MAXQDA version 10 software were used.Finding: In this study, the challenges were categorized into two main categories, including the organizational category and the infrastructure category. organizational challenges; Challenges related to insurance, referral of patients, education and information to beneficiaries, monitoring and infrastructure challenges; infrastructure, user interface and database. The main challenges of implementing electronic prescribing were related to the outage and slowness of systems and the Internet and the existence of multiple systems for insurances.Conclusion: the infrastructure challenges which are among the important obstacles in the path of the full implementation of the electronic prescribing plan should be resolved, in order to improve the implementation problems, the continuous monitoring of the prescribing systems should be considered and the results should be applied immediately, as It is recommended to reform infrastructures, integrate insurance systems, use electronic signatures and electronic version standards, and provide practical training.

Initial patient information, including personal details, vital signs, and triage level which were recorded by nurses, were extracted. Using pairwise comparison matrix, the effective features were selected by experts. Then, using naive Bayes, decision tree, random forest, and support vector machine algorithms, the data was classified. Results: Out of the 15 collected features, 9 features were selected by experts, and the results showed that the random forest algorithm had the best performance in predicting patient admission in this case study, with an accuracy of 92/2%Conclusion: These results demonstrate the importance of using artificial intelligence and data mining methods in hospital management and patient admission prediction. It can serve as a helpful tool in decision-making processes. Key words: Data mining, Forecasting, Patient admission, Hospital Emergency Services

Webometrics ranking, as an international ranking system, evaluates and ranks the websites of world universities twice a year with a research-based approach. This ranking began in 2004 and currently evaluates 31,000 institutions from about 200 countries. The methodology used in this ranking, along with other required data, is updated and available to the public on the Webometrics website. The best strategy to improve the ranking, increase the quality and quantity of content, and the worst strategy, which leads to a sharp drop in the ranking, is to change the domain of the institution's website. In the last ranking before this study, the rank of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in the ranking of July 2023 was in the 7th place among the medical sciences universities of the country and the 14th place among all universities. This study was conducted with the aim of increasing the position of this university in a period of one month and was implemented with the help of the webometrics committee of the university.
