طراحی مدل سیستم اطلاعات پشتیبان تصمیم برای بیمارستان هیأت امنایی آیت‌اله کاشانی شهرکرد

Introduction: One of the types of hospital management information systems is decision support
information system (DSIS). This system uses decision-making models and databases for
preparing specific information to support their semi-structured or unstructured decisions. The
present study aimed to design a decision DSIS model for Board of Trustees of Ayatollah Kashani
Hospital, Shahrekord, Iran.
Methods: This exploratory and modeling study was performed in 2010 and conducted in Board of
Trustees Ayatollah Kashani Hospital in Shahrekord. The study population consisted of 30 Board of
Directors and hospital administrators. Data collection was performed through a researcher-made
42-item questionnaire with approved validity and reliability (85%) by the expert professors used for
interviewing and observation. The data were analyzed using principles of systems analysis and
management and, mathematical analysis and also operations research technique.
Results: Complete information about identifying the organizational environment, information
architecture diagrams, the decision-making pattern of Board of Directors and the hospital
authorities, the mathematical models and other decision-making models were achieved and the
DSIS model was designed for Board of Trustees of Ayatollah Kashani Hospital, Shahrekord, Iran.
Conclusion: Hospital information architecture diagram did not have much difference compared
with the other conducted studies; however, using DSIS model and its output through the
operations research techniques, mathematical patterns and other appropriate patterns would
resulted in decisions that the hospital’s board might make and support them.
