Abstract

The emergence of updated and accurate big health data through information systems becomes crucial for fast decision and strategizing planning in fighting the pandemic war. A qualitative survey was conducted among healthcare professionals using the Hospital Information System during the pandemic to explore the insight of HIS experience among users and identify scope and categories available for further detailed study. Specifically, this study explores the current practice of HIS, observing the policies and guidelines and to identify the challenges and its limitations. Six areas have been identified; system implementation, policy and guidelines, challenges, system advantages and disadvantages, and system characteristics.
