Sustainable technology means technology is capable of being maintained over a long span of time; independent of shifts in both hardware and software. Effective implementation and use of Health Information Systems (HIS) for years to come are crucial as sustainable HIS. Numbers of studies have discussed various factors contributes towards barriers fo

Health Information Systems (HIS) helps in coordinating various activities within hospital through effective and efficient services. Malaysian Government began to introduce HIS in 1999 to cover both clinical and non-clinical information systems. Since then hospitals have been facing challenges to achieve the objectives of its introduction. Thus, it

Information system is widely adopted in many fields including healthcare. Healthcare organizations now consider increased efficiency, improved patient care, quality of services, and safety. Hence Health Information System (HIS) is basically introduced to transform the traditional way of data collection and organization in hospitals, to a modern way

Palliative care is associated with life-threatening diseases and death. To deepen understanding of the complexity of information need, information seeking behaviour becomes important in order to enhance the provision of adequate information and quality of services on the part of patients and carers in palliative care. This paper aims to investigate

Therapeutic agents, namely drugs (i.e. Active pharmaceutical ingredient, API), biopharmaceutical (e.g. protein/peptide/macromolecules) and natural products (e.g. Nigella sativa oil, alpha mangostin) may have drawback of either highly water-soluble or highly lipophilic. These two extreme properties can mask the actual efficacy of the agents regardle

A passively Q-switched erbium-doped fibre laser is experimentally implemented, using molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and tungsten disulfide (WS2) as saturable absorbers. The results testify that a WS2-based Q-switched fibre laser generates more stable pulse trains, if compared with the MoS2-based saturable absorber. The wavelength region where the Q-sw

Bacground: Atrial fibrillation (AF) patients are 5 times more likely to have stroke than non-AF patients. Stroke prevention (SP) using anticoagulation therapy was recommended in AF patients. Knowledge about AF and SP (KAFSP) is one of the essential factors that can improve patients’ adherence. Yet no established studies were found to determine pa

This paper examines the current administrative structure that deals with informal fishing villages in Selangor aiming to identify the governance issues of these communities from the local-, district-, state- and federal-level perspectives. Data collection techniques employed were field observations conducted through site visits, in-depth interviews

Measuring performance of a university is important as it gives the idea of the position of the university and also activities can be initiated to further improve its performance. However, existing performance measurement models such as Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award are developed for the universities in developed and developed countries.
