In this collection of manuscripts, the assessments of the success of information systems used in the e-government applications and medical sector by some models have been presented. The book consists of five chapters: in the first two chapters, HIS, governmental institutions (related laws and regulations), and e-prescription systems, which are the fundamental components of the medical sector in Turkey, has been investigated. In the third chapter, the clustering analysis of the clinics in the medical faculties of the universities has been presented. In the fourth and fifth chapters, e-government applications and a specific example of it have been studied.

WOS:000691710000001Information systems have been popularized in all areas of our lives, and today information systems literacy has also been formed as a concept. With the pandemic, this concept has become more important, especially for physicians. At the same time, information systems, decision support systems in medicine, and evidence-based medicine approaches have become supported and work is continuing rapidly. Therefore, it is inevitable that physicians will be aware of current developments in this field. The aim of this study is to determine the literacy of information systems of physicians working in the academic field but to demonstrate the sensitivity of DSS and evidence-based medicine with a machine learning approach. The dataset was obtained from the physicians working in the academic field in Turkey. By using web-based survey, all the information including some demographic attributes, the usage level of the DDS and EBM systems, and the score of ISL belonging to 810 physicians has been recruited from this survey. A comprehensive analysis process including both statistical significance tests and machine learning algorithms was conducted to determine the group differences about the ISL scale and classify the experienced and inexperienced people on the usage of DDS and EBM systems. The range F1-score for each machine learning algorithm was satisfying (F1(DDS) = .818 to .992, F1(EBM) = .797 to .955). From the view of both training and testing performance for DDS, random forest algorithm provided the best results than its competitors. In the examination of EBM usage, while C5.0 was found better in terms of training results, extreme gradient boosting machine with linear kernel has the highest F1-score on testing performance. In the study, the ISL scale was applied to physicians working in medical schools and its effectiveness was showed to a great extent. Statistical significance test results were obtained for the title, graduation institution, specialty institution and specialty type characteristics of the physicians. However, we associated DSS, EBM and system and application approaches with the scope of both aforementioned attributes and the ISL scale. We conducted a comprehensive comparative study by using various machine learning algorithms on the subject to the study and obtained useful insight about the factors on the usage level of DDS and EBM systems. It is expected that the results will be a guide for all physicians and administrators working in the academic field

Information systems bring about many innovation opportunities for organizations. However, there are also several factors affecting these opportunities that need to be investigated. Therefore, taking this necessity as a starting point, the present study was conducted to provide an insight into the associations between Information Systems Literacy (ISL), and the analytical approach, as well as Business Process Management (BPM) usage and organization performance. To this end, a structural model has been developed to define the link between design, methodology and approach structures and study the mediating effect on the relationship between ISL, analytical approach, BPM, and organization performance. A questionnaire was developed and a total of 404 usable surveys were collected from civil servants employed in various public bodies in Turkey. Using structural equation modeling, the model and the proposed hypotheses were tested. Results showed ISL has a significant and positive effect on...

With the advancements in information technologies and internet applications, electronic government (e-government) gained prominence among many governments around the world. As a developing country, in Turkey, e-government has been a priority subject in delivery of government services. E-movable system, which was initiated in 2007 in public institutions, is an example to e-government applications in Turkey. The purpose of this study is to measure the success of Turkish e-movable system from the perspectives of employees in public institutions who use this system. The study developed Technology Acceptance Model for Using E-Movable System (TAMUeM) based on technology acceptance model (TAM) to measure the success of e-movable system. The model proposed consists of seven constructs including information quality, service quality, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards using and behavioural intention to use. The results revealed significant connections between the seven constructs of the model. All hypotheses were supported. The results imply that e-movable system is significantly accepted in public organizations and that it can be extended to be applied in private sector.

The debts of university hospitals have been increasing recently in Turkey. Thus, they should use their financial resources effectively. The aim of this study is to analyze the technical activities of departments at Adnan Menderes University, Training and Research Hospital, Aydın, Turkey. Data were obtained from the statistical records in 2014. Activities were evaluated with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), which is a nonparametric method that allows the use of more than one input and output at the same time. The study comprised three sections. In the first section, expenditure, package deficiencies, and Social Security Institution (SSI) deductions were defined as inputs and income was defined as the output. The Banker, Chames, and Cooper (BCC) model, which aims to minimize inputs, was used in this section. " Orthopedics " was found to be the most effective department. In the second section, faculty members, research assistants, room numbers of policlinics, and bed numbers in services were defined as the inputs; the total number of policlinic patients, total number of patients allocated bed, and income were defined as outputs. In this section, the outcome-focused Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes (CCR) model, which aims to maximize outcomes, was used. " Emergency " and " Child and Adolescent Psychology " were found to be the most efficient departments. In the third section, faculty members, research assistants, room numbers of policlinics, and bed numbers in services were defined as the inputs; the total number of policlinic patients, total number of patients allocated beds, total operation numbers, and income were defined as outputs. In this section, the CCR model was again used. " Thoracic Surgery " was defined as the most efficient department. At the end of the analyses, reference rates were defined for the inefficient departments.

This study aims to empirically test an e-prescription success model with 8 constructs consisting of Information Quality, System Quality, Service Quality, Social Impact, Facilitating Conditions, Use Dependency, User Satisfaction and Net Benefit. A total of 254 participants including physicians and pharmacists in 3 different provinces of Turkey were included in the study group by simple random sampling method. Measurement instrument was found to be reliable. SPSS 19 package was used to determine construct validity of the model and AMOS 22 software was used to determine model data fit after explanatory factor analysis. CFA showed that fit indices of the model were within the desired intervals. The success model developed was tested using correlation and regression analyses to determine the relationship between the observed variables. It was found that the pharmacists and physicians were moderately satisfied with the e-prescription system and there was no statistically significant difference between their total scores for perceived Net Benefit. Facilitating Conditions for the system and Social Impact had a significant impact on User Satisfaction. It was found that Use Dependency and User Satisfaction were important predictors of Net Benefit. It can be stated that User Satisfaction and indirectly Net Benefit of e-prescription system will increase when Facilitating Conditions are created for the users.

The aim of this study is to provide a framework to re-educate people participated in traffic accidents with their own faults. The aim of the framework is to eliminate the driver's faults by an internet based education as a result of measuring general knowledge of the drivers and re-instructing for their mistakes. In the beginning of the education, after the determination of the driver's faults who had an accident, those drivers were applied a first test prepared depending on the types of the faults and their general traffic knowledge. Then, the drivers were given training. Finally, they were asked to take a second test. The present study shows that while the mean score of success of the participants was 16.46 before the application of the instruction module, it became 30.02 after that.

E-government initiatives are extensively used around the world. In recent years, e-government applications have been widely used in Turkey to provide public services in electronic environment. Much of previous research on e-government adoption mainly concentrates on technology adoption in volitional environments and technology adoption in mandatory environments is lacking in previous literature. Thus, this study develops a technology acceptance model (TAM)-based model for a mandatory system in Turkish public institutions. The success of the theoretical model is tested on Sgb.Net system, the use of which is mandatory in Turkish public institutions. The constructs of the model are mandatory use, management support, training support, attitude, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and use. Empirical results reveal that the theoretical model can be used to measure mandatory technology use in e-government in Turkey and other countries.
