Abstract :
Today, providing smart and fast services to patients and moving towards next generation hospitals is one of the necessities of the health field. Preparing information architecture for hospitals is a prelude to obtaining intelligent services and, as a result, providing services with much higher speed and quality than traditional systems. In this article, the aim was to provide a native information architecture based on important criteria and indicators in Iranian hospitals. In this article, TOGAF information technology architecture is used and then this architecture is localized according to the local conditions of Iran for Shariati Hospital. For this purpose, a 134-question questionnaire was used from the experts' point of view and it was analyzed based on appropriate statistical tests. In this article, information technology architecture was designed in the form of a conceptual model with four inputs and four infrastructure layers. The results showed that among the 134 components of TOGF information technology architecture, 104 components were approved by experts for use in the hospital. This customized framework was called Hospital Information Technology Architecture. The proposed architecture was drawn in eight layers and eleven components and can be used as a local reference architecture for the implementation of information architecture in Iranian hospitals.
