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.
