Health information systems (HIS) have provided a major leap forward in communication and management of health services. In this study, a system of pharmaceutical services, which is an HIS platform that enables pharmacists to communicate with hospitals, government health agencies and suppliers, was investigated. The study aims to assess and determine factors influencing health professionals' (pharmacists) adoption of the system. In this work in progress study, a new research model (P-TAM) was developed, and a survey was conducted with 2169 pharmacists from different regions of Turkey. Statistical analyses were performed in order to determine strength and reliability of the model. The results were promising in terms of determining factors associated with the adoption of pharmaceutical services. The findings were useful for identifying influential behavioral constructs in HIS. It is believed that this study will be a valuable asset for the literature as well as the researchers who are in the first phase of their study in assessing HIS adoption. (C) 2014 The Authors.

A Systematic Literature Review on Health Recommender Systems Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2013-11-23) Health Information Systems are becoming an important platform for healthcare services. In this context, Health Recommender Systems (HRS) are presented as complementary tools in decision making processes in health care services. Health Recommender Systems increase usability of technologies and reduce information overload in processes. In this paper, a literature review was conducted by following a review procedure. Major approaches in HRS were outlined and findings were discussed. The paper presented current...
A cross-sectional investigation of acceptance of health information technology: A nationwide survey of community pharmacists in Turkey Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2016-11-01) Background: Health information technologies have become vital to health care services.

A QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN EVIDENCE AND SPECIFICATION KNOWLEDGE BASES OF HEALTH CARE BUILDINGS DESIGN FIELD: AN ONTOLOGY-BASED APPROACH IN TURKISH CONTEXT Alp, Ömer Faruk; Erkılıç, Mualla; Department of Architecture (2022-8-29) Attaining the highest quality is a shared goal for sub-fields of healthcare including the design of health care physical environments. Health care architects and design teams are obliged to base their design decisions on findings of empirical studies as the most privileged knowledge sources for rigorousity demanded. It results overall healthcare industry in handling the phenomenon from a rather positivist standpoint, and naming it as evidence-based design (EBD). Despite its potentials, EBD continues to emer...
Design and implementation of semantically enriched web services in the healthcare domain Altıntakan, Ümit Lütfü; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2004) Healthcare Informatics suffers from the lack of information exchange among domain partners. Allowing cooperation among distributed and heterogeneous applications is a major need of current healthcare information systems. Beyond the communication and integration problems, medical information itself is by nature complex, combined with data and knowledge. The increasing number of standards and representation of the same data in different structures using these standards constitute another problem in the domain...
Understanding the perception towards using mHealth applications in practice: Physicians' perspective Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner (2018-03-01) The objective of this study was to investigate physicians' perceptions to use mobile health applications in practice, and to identify influencing factors to use the technology. An mHealth technology acceptance model was proposed (M-TAM), and a cross-sectional survey was implemented using structured questionnaire to collect data. Online tools were used for inviting participants (physicians) and data collection from Turkey. The data was analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation...
