Understanding the Implementation of an Electronic Hospital Information System in a Developing Country: A Case Study from Pakistan
Malik, M.A. and Khan, H.R.
Literature on implementation of hospital
information systems is scarce, especially with
regard to developing countries. Pakistan Institute of
Medical Sciences (PIMS) is a large public sector
hospital in Pakistan that successfully implemented
a hospital information system (HIS). This article
studies how this success was achieved and
examines the hurdles faced in the implementation
of the HIS and how they were overcome. The
article aims to provide a better understanding of
implementing HIS in a developing country setting,
to add to academic knowledge in the area as well as
to serve as a guide to anyone wishing to implement
an HIS in such a setting.
