Errors and causes of communication failures from hospital information systems to electronic health record: A record-review study

This study identified a large number of system and operator-dependent errors hampering communication of information from HIS to SEPAS. Results revealed that the same hospital information systems used in different hospitals could face dissimilar types and levels of errors when communicating with other information systems. The results of this study can be used by system designers and health center policymakers to prevent the problems of information communication between health information systems.
