Introduction: Blockchain technology has emerged as the fourth industrial revolution in recent years, which can facilitate the management and exchange of patient records by developing a new infrastructure. A review of the literature indicates the lack of studies and the need for further study of the factors affecting the adoption of this technology in the healthcare industry. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to prioritize the factors related to the adoption of blockchain technology in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems.Methods: In this descriptive study, 15 factors related to blockchain adoption in EHR systems were identified by reviewing the scientific literature. Then, these factors were validated by 17 experts who were selected by targeted sampling method and divided into five categories: technological, legal, financial, environmental and organizational. Finally, the weight of each criterion was determined by the fuzzy best-worst method and the consistency of experts’ opinions was evaluated.Results: According to the judgments of experts, the legal criterion with 32 percent was identified as the most important factor in the adoption of blockchain technology in EHR systems. In addition, security and privacy (16.66 percent), compliance with legal requirements (13.10 percent), compliance with changes in laws (12.22 percent), incentives and rewards (7.01 percent) and standardization (6.87 percent) were identified as five most important sub-criteria in the adoption of the technology, respectively.Conclusion: With the help of the factors identified in this study and the weights determined for each of them, a method can be developed to assess the level of readiness of healthcare providers in adopting blockchain technology in EHR systems.

Introduction: Introduction: Today, Iran's health tourism supply chain has faced many disturbances, which highlights its resilience. This study endeavored to identify the critical factors of health tourism supply chain resilience, classifying them based on resilience stages, and presenting their conceptual model.Methods: This qualitative study was done in 2 stages. Initially, the critical factors of supply chain resilience have been identified based on the four stages of resilience. In the second stage, a model for them has been presented. The participants in both stages are experts. The method of sampling is purposive, followed by the snowball method. The number of participants in first and second stages are 18 and 10, respectively. The method of data collection is semi-structured interviews and interactive management approach. The method of data analysis is thematic analysis and fuzzy cognitive map, respectively.Results: Based on the interviews, 67 critical success factors for resilience were identified, which were categorized into 20 categories. The results revealed that training, information management and coordination and cooperation have the most out degree. Market management, supplier relationship management and supply chain design have the most in degree. Supplier relationship management, coordination, and cooperation as well as planning ability have the highest degree of centrality..Conclusion: Providing appropriate training, especially in the areas of problem-solving and decision-making skills, reducing uncertainty in government decisions and approaches, upgrading information infrastructure and software, are important ways to enhance the resilience of the health tourism supply chain.

Introduction: With the leap in the development of information technology and social media, seeking health information online has become popular. This study endeavors to provide an analysis of users 'health-seeking information behavior in the web environment, based on Bates' developed model.Methods: This applied study has been done by an analytical survey method. The data collection instrument was an online researcher-made questionnaire (sensitive to the differentiation of respondents) developed with inspiration from the research by Dow and her colleagues, which was enacted by 10 Faculty members of Iranian universities of medical sciences. The sample consisted of 72 individuals with bachelor's degrees and higher who were selected by volunteer sampling method. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman tests were used.Results: Approximately, 48% of the members of the research sample had a "scrutinizing" approach to their health question and 31% had a "direct and active (searching)" approach according to Bates' developed information model. These two information-seeking approaches were more prevalent (compared to "engineering" and "basic sciences" disciplines) among those who had worked or studied in the field of "social sciences and humanities" for at least one year .There was a significant difference between "occupation" and "online health information-seeking behavior based on the Bates' model". However, there was no significant difference between "age" and "level of education" and their health information-seeking behavior (March 2022).Conclusion: Dow's model (based on the Bates developed seeking information model) can be used and be efficient in the health research to analyze the information seeking behavior of different groups.

Data collection has been done using semi-structured interviews with health tourism experts and health tourists. Targeted sampling continued until theoretical saturation was reached, and a total of 14 samples were selected.Results: The results showed that related factors of health tourism on covid 19 epidemic was in both micro and macro levvels. In the micro domain, three categories of factors, including factors related to health tourism services, factors related to tourism ancillary services, and factors related to health tourists, have been affected by covid 19. In the macro sector, the related factors of health tourism on covid 19 epidemic has been in 4 sectors: economic, technological, political-legal and cultural-social.Conclusion: Based on the results of the research, things like the lack of equipment due to its allocation to the corona sectors, the expansion of online services, and the lack of specialized human resources have affected health tourism. In the factors related to ancillary services, unused capacities have increased and this discussion has led to the closure of some sectors. This issue will reduce the capacity of ancillary services in the post-corona period and will be a threat to the development of health tourism. In the tourist sector, Corona has led to an increase in the general awareness of tourists as well as an increase in health concerns, and price sensitivity has decreased in relation to health issues.
