Investigating the Effective Factors on the Acceptance of Teleorthodontic Technology Based on the Technology Acceptance Model 3 (TAM3).

Statement Of The Problem: Health information technology is used in dentistry worldwide. Despite the limited specialized resources for providing orthodontic treatment in Iran, the need to examine the technology acceptance model (TAM) seems necessary and is a significant step in the successful acceptance of teleorthodontic technology.

Purpose: The present study has identified and investigated the factors affecting the acceptance of teleorthodontic technology among orthodontists based on the TAM3 with the aim of successful implementation and deployment of this technology.

Developing a mobile health application for wound telemonitoring: a pilot study on abdominal surgeries post-discharge care.

Background: Many early signs of Surgical Site Infection (SSI) developed during the first thirty days after discharge remain inadequately recognized by patients. Hence, it is important to use interactive technologies for patient support in these times. It helps to diminish unnecessary exposure and in-person outpatient visits.

Clinical and Epidemiological Characteristics of Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients in Hormozgan, Iran: A Retrospective, Multicenter Study.

Background: To better manage the COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to carefully study information about patients with COVID-19. To report clinical and epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 patients in southern Iran.

Cancer in Iran 2008 to 2025: Recent incidence trends and short-term predictions of the future burden.

Policymakers require estimates of the future number of cancer patients in order to allocate finite resources to cancer prevention, treatment and palliative care. We examine recent cancer incidence trends in Iran and present predicted incidence rates and new cases for the entire country for the year 2025. We developed a method for approximating population-based incidence from the pathology-based data series available nationally for the years 2008 to 2013, and augmented this with data from the Iranian National Population-based Cancer Registry (INPCR) for the years 2014 to 2016.

Implementation of regional COVID-19 registry in Hormozgan (RCovidRH), Iran: Rationale and study protocol.

The rapid outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a global pandemic in 2020. Information sources such as disease registries through accessing quality, valid, accurate, and timely data empower researchers and health authorities to study and develop appropriate actions. Our study describes the protocol for implementation of regional COVID-19 registry in Hormozgan province (RCovidRH).

Optimized Patients' Length of Hospital Stay with Interventions Based on Health Information Technology: A Review Study.

Background: Information and communications technologies (ICTs) may facilitate shorting length of stay (LOS) of patients through the optimization of processes and delivery services.

Objectives: This study aims to provide technology-based solutions and interventions based on health information technology (HIT) that have optimization potentials of patients' LOS.

Methods: This review study searched papers in PubMed, Scopus as well as Google Scholar without presuming time limits by the end of 2019.

The design and implementation of the software tracking cervical and lumbar vertebrae in spinal fluoroscopy images.

Aim: Manual analysis of neck kinematics is usually associated with measurement errors and it requires the use of software capabilities. Considering laboratory usage, software has been developed to solve the associated problems.

Materials & Methods: Fluoroscopic images taken from 78 women were used to design and evaluate the performance of the software.

Health Information Management System for Elderly Health Sector: A Qualitative Study in Iran.

Background: There are increasing change and development of information in healthcare systems. Given the increase in aging population, managers are in need of true and timely information when making decision.

Recording adequate and relevant data for the elderly is considered as the basis for future planning for this segment of society. So this study was conducted to compare minimum data about elderly health in selected countries.

Information technology governance domains in hospitals: a case study in Iran.

IT governance is a set of organizational structures ensuring decision-making rights and responsibilities with regard to the organization's IT assets. This qualitative study was carried out to identify the IT governance domains in teaching hospitals affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences. There were 10 heads of IT departments and 10 hospital directors.

The Effect of Educational Intervention on Medical Diagnosis Recording among Residents.

Introduction: Studies indicate that using interventions including education may improve medical record documentation and decrease incomplete files. Since physicians play a crucial role in medical record documentation, the researchers intend to examine the effect of educational intervention on physicians' performance and knowledge about principles of medical diagnosis recording among residents in Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences(HUMS).

Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2010 on 40 specialty residents (from internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, anesthesiology and surgery specialties) in Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences.
