Human factors– The value of a complete, accurate and up-to-date MR is not well

appreciated by healthcare providers on all levels (physicians, nursing staff …).

– HCF managements more keen on collective medical data collection for the sole purpose of statistics and reporting, which does not necessarily mean that individual records are in good shape.

– The use of computers in general and medical coding present a barrier for most of HCF end users.

Lack of clear Roles and Responsibilities regarding HIS operations:

– New roles and responsibilities should be created and assigned to each person in the HCF.

– Roles and Responsibilities should be clear and end-users should have a solid understanding of their roles and their responsibilities and their importance for the proper operations of their HCF, the MOH and the patient.

– Some of the roles will be assigned to the regular HCF and MOH end-users and other roles will be assigned to newly created jobs only to perform these responsibilities

Deficiency in current legislations:

• undefined and impose a minimum data set that should be documented in a systematic, up-to-date and clear way. HCF and doctors are free to select what should be kept in the MR.– No clear penalties for doctors with incomplete, unclear or

not up-to-date MR.– Many front-office and back-office functions are duplicated

(paper and electronic) because of some of the MOH rules.

Absence of Data Quality Control and Auditing:

– There are no clear regulations or measures that insure the integrity, completeness and accuracy of the collected data in the current implementation.

– A hierarchical system of auditing and data QC should be implemented, and enforced.

– Two types of measures should be implemented:• Automated: HIS providers should implement these measures, which

analyze the current and historical data and provide indicators and alarms about any suspicious record or incoherent values.

• Manual: Systematic and periodic review of records according to predefined schemes to spot any anomalies in the records. Also manual inspection is used on records flagged as suspicious to either confirm or deny their quality.
