Introduction: Health care systems are known as complex systems, which are difficult to analyze and reengineer. Health system engineers often rely on Unified Modeling Language (UML) to model and simulate various parts of these systems. The purpose of the current study was to identify the most widely used and least-practicable UML diagrams as well as the range of applications of this language in the field of health care for documenting, analyzing, and designing an efficient system.Methods: The study was a systematize review. All the articles related to UML applications in the field of health care were extracted from March 2010 to July 2017 using valid keywords from the Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, and Elsevier Scopus databases. After screening, 48 articles were selected and analyzed via two 12-hours concurrent sessions.Results: Three diagrams of class, activity, and use case were the most usable UML diagrams, and four diagrams of component, collaboration, object, and profile were the least used diagrams in designing and modeling in various fields of health care, respectively. In addition, in the domain of applications, infrastructure group, disease management, and knowledge discovery had the highest use of UML, respectively.Conclusion: Considering the fact that UML applications scopes over all aspects of the system in three areas of disease management, knowledge discovery, and health care infrastructure both in software and hardware systems, designing and modeling this application domain with UML will facilitate the reengineering and promotion of organizations, and develop interactive systems to support the linkages between different parts of the health care system and collaboration between project partners.

Introduction: Prerequisite for implementing telemedicine for providing medical services and health is its acceptance. The overall objective of this study was investigating the factors that influence the adoption of it with using ICT. Methods: method of this study was Analysing and data collection instrument was combination of Theory of Planned Behavior and the Technology Acceptance model questionnaires. The present population of the study was physicians in Isfahan hospitals and 125 of them were selected as sample with classification random sampling. The validity of the model was performed by structural equation modeling method. For data analysis used software was SPSS19 and AMOS20. Results: Results show that perceived usefulness (β= 0.54) and perceived ease (β= 0.43) was effective on attitude toward telemedicine usage. The findings also shown a positive effect of perceived usefulness (β=0.61) and perceived behavioral control (β=0.39) on people's tendency toward this type of technology While the effect of subjective norm (β=0.18) on behavioral intention had not confirmed. Conclusion: The results suggest that the technology acceptance model and theory of planned behavior can predict people intention in application of telemedicine. Keywords: Telemedicine; Technology; Health Care; Hospitals
