Abstract
Purpose:
Laboratory plays an important role in diseases treatment and prevention.  As a result, information systems can improve health organization performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the output information quality of Laboratory Information Subsystem in teaching hospital laboratories in Shiraz.
Methods:
This was a descriptive cross- sectional study. The study population consisted of all laboratory staffs in teaching hospitals. Data collection tool was the questionnaire, with its validity and reliability was measured before. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and SPSS software.
Results:
The results showed that output information of Laboratory Information Subsystem had favorable quality in relevance, accuracy, reliability, safety and speed dimensions with maximum frequency percent respectively 44.3, 51.7, 55.7, 57.2, 56.7, but in the economic dimension of output information with 64.2 frequency percent had partly favorable quality. Total average (3.11) from (1-5) scale showed that output information of Laboratory Information Subsystem had a high quality.
Conclusion:
Theoutput information of these systems is an important step in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, more attention to reinforce the quality of output information prevent from costs and duplication in the health care sector.
