The
purpose of this study is to reveal the levels of knowledge of Health
Information System managers who work at hospitals regarding Health Information
Systems and Hospital Information Management Systems, their evaluations
regarding information processes, and their perspectives on collaboration with
the Ministry. The population of the research was determined as 58 Training and
Research Hospitals in 16 separate provinces affiliated with the University of
Health Sciences and reached 55. The average number of health information
systems managers was 5 in each hospital and 277 in total. Questionnaires, which
were made by examining the questionnaires in the literature, were applied by
questionnaire method. The highlights of the research can be summarized as
follows: While the status of managers having received training on the topic of
health science was 72.9% and the status of awareness of Ministry studies
regarding health information systems was 70%, their levels of direct
participation in studies relating to health information was reported as 27.8%.
This shows that training and being aware of the studies are not enough to
participate in the related studies. It was determined when the status of
managers not being aware of health information studies from the Ministry of
Health according to their positions at their institutions that those who are
most unaware (with 41%) are information processing personnel. According to
their positions at the institutions, whether managers had received training on
the topic of health information, the awareness levels of Ministry studies in
the field of health information, their assignment status in the installation
phase of HIMS’s, and their levels of knowing the Ministry standards for HIMS
were studied. And no meaningful difference was found in the statistical
analyses apart from assignment status during the installation of HIMS’s.
