A Meta-analysis to Assess the Effectiveness of a Procedural Scale to Measure Pain in a Child Aged 0-1 Year

Abstract

Background: This overview of the Ministry of Health's governance structure and the Health Information System (HIS) activities covers the current HIS situation. Purpose: This study describes the e-HIS in Jordan, whether it is standardized across health facilities, how information is used, and the resources needed for such systems to work efficiently. Methods: Accessible electronic reports and publications on the e-HIS in Jordan were reviewed from 2000 to 2022. Data was retrieved from the Ministry of Health of Jordan, the Department of Statistics, the Higher Health Council, and through PubMed, ERIC, and Google Scholar databases. Results: e-Health systems must connect hospitals, pharmacies, primary care providers, in-home patients, and administrative entities, such as insurers or the government. However, the standardization of e-Health is inherently complex. The health industry is heavily governed by national authorities. The risk of non-compliance with standards may increase as a result of technological advances. However, there are still unanswered questions regarding whether some of these programs are in competition or conflict and whether healthcare providers will appropriately apply standards. Conclusion: To achieve the goals of strengthening the health system, the HIS must, whenever possible, eliminate parallel reporting systems, enable single reporting routes, and ensure that data and analysis feedback are effectively shared. Implications for Nursing: This study can provide a launching point for further studies investigating the Health Information System (HIS) in Jordan and shed light on the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of effectively employing the Health Information System (HIS) by nurses and other healthcare providers in Jordan.
