This study tried to evaluate the Use of Information in hospitals. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in all hospitals in Tabriz (20 hospitals) using qualitative method. Participants (40 participants) included hospital managers and senior experts appointed by managers. Data were collected through semi-structured interview with participants by using an interview guideline about how hospitals use services information, information about beds, medicines, medical errors, information about customers and financial data. Thematic analysis was used for analyzing data. Results: Overall, 12 main indicators about Use of Information were extracted. Coordination, quality management, human resources management and education were the most frequent outcomes of using information in hospitals. Convening meeting and managing personnel were the most frequent action that authorities had taken in reaction to received information. Conclusion: Huge amount of information is produced and distributed among authorities in hospitals every day.
