A Scoping Review of Challenges and Solutions in the Successful Implementation of Hospital Management Information Systems (HMIS).
Review in Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 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: A Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) is a comprehensive, computer-based system designed to manage and streamline the entire spectrum of hospital operations, including administrative, clinical, and financial processes. It integrates various functions such as patient registration, medical records management, appointment scheduling, billing, and reporting into a cohesive network that facilitates efficient information flow and decision-making within a hospital setting (1-3). HMIS is essential for improving hospital efficiency through the integration of medical, administrative, and financial data. However, HMIS implementation may face a variety of challenges. This scoping review aims to identify these challenges and propose solutions for successful HMIS adoption. Methods: A Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) is a comprehensive, computer-based system designed to manage and streamline the entire spectrum of hospital operations, including administrative, clinical, and financial processes. It integrates various functions such as patient registration, medical records management, appointment scheduling, billing, and reporting into a cohesive network that facilitates efficient information flow and decision-making within a hospital setting (1-3). HMIS is essential for improving hospital efficiency through the integration of medical, administrative, and financial data. However, HMIS implementation may face a variety of challenges. This scoping review aims to identify these challenges and propose solutions for successful HMIS adoption. Results: The initial search of the selected databases retrieved 2,419 records, of which 2,058 were duplicates. After duplicate removal, 361 titles and abstracts were screened according to the eligibility criteria. Following full-text assessment, 18 studies were relevant to the research objective. Four categories of key factors in successful HMIS implementation were identified, including technical, organizational, human, and environmental factors. The proposed solutions include advanced security measures, phased implementation, comprehensive user training, and strong leadership support. Conclusion: The results showed that a multidimensional approach that can simultaneously address technical, organizational, human, and environmental factors is crucial for successful HMIS implementation. Employing targeted strategies to overcome these challenges and improve the efficiency of hospital information management is essential, as these strategies were identified. It should also focus on localizing strategies related to these factors in line with the country-specific challenges and solutions in different healthcare settings.
