User-Centered Evaluation of Healthcare Information System Utilization: A Cross-Sectional Study Integrating Acceptance Models.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Despite the promising role of health information systems (HISs) in healthcare settings, they have not consistently met users' expectations. The current research aimed to investigate the extent to which the functions of a healthcare information system align with users' actual needs, while also identifying the factors that influence the system's utilization. Methods: The study was conducted in 2021 at a tertiary university hospital in Urmia, Iran. It utilized a quantitative method with a descriptive, cross-sectional design. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire from 32 administrative and clinical users of the hospital information system, employing a stratified sampling approach. We used SPSS version 27 for data analysis. Results: Among the participants, paramedical staff have the highest level of satisfaction (mean difference = -0.42, 95% CI [-0.82, -0.02]) and system utilization (mean difference = -0.25, 95% CI [-0.46, -0.05]). Exploratory subgroup comparisons suggested potential differences in "familiarity with IT" across age groups (mean difference = 1.04, 95% CI [0.63, 1.46]) and work experience groups (mean difference = 0.53, 95% CI [0.06, 1.00]). The "user satisfaction" has a positive correlation with "system utilization" ( Conclusion: This study is expected to improve HIS utilization, healthcare quality and productivity, and healthcare organizations' financial returns. Our findings have insightful implications for those interested in the successful implementation of HIS systems, including hospital managers, chief executive officers, health information technology personnel, and HIS vendors.
