Abstract: (4015 Views)
Background: Responsiveness is one of the main goals of the health system for policymakers and managers. Information Technology (IT) capabilities typically affect organization performance in cases like customer responsiveness and provide high standards of its business. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between information technology capabilities and the responsiveness of Baharlo hospital in Tehran.
Materials and Methods: This study was a descriptive-survey one in terms of method and an applied one in terms of purpose. Data collection tool was a questionnaire. A sample of 248 employees and 381 patients from 26 selected sections of Baharlo Hospital were selected randomly. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics such as Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis.
Results: According to study results, the overall hospital responsiveness rate was higher than the average (3.82) and the hospital's IT capacity was moderate (3.07). Based on regression analysis at 95% confidence level (error less than 5%), IT capabilities with IT architecture dimensions (p= 0.020), IT infrastructure (p =0.004), IT human resources (p < 0.0001) IT communication resources (p < 0.001) were positively correlated with the responsiveness of Baharlo Hospital.
Conclusion: The positive relationship between all aspects and the overall IT capability with the responsiveness of the illustrated hospital reveale that the capacity of information technology as well as other modern industries in hospitals is considered as a key competence. Therefore, it is obvious hospital managers should pay serious attention to upgrade this key competence to improve responsiveness in their hospital.
