Comprehensive system of hospital information is well-organized software designed to effectively integrate and transfer hospital information. It helps to promote the quality of data, reduce the transfer time, raise users’ satisfaction, increase the quality of services and lower the costs in hospitals.

The results of analyzing the role of HIS in promoting the quality of healthcare information revealed that applying HIS promoted the update and security of data to respectively 42.2% and 31.1%. Moreover, 18 subjects of the research population assessed the effect of HIS on data transfer among hospital wards to be the highest (40%). Half of the population had a positive attitude towards the effect of HIS on information system processes and on promoting the quality of healthcare information in hospitals. Less than 2% of the subjects had a negative attitude towards the same system.
