Introduction: considering the information threats and the need to procedures for develop and improve security and confidentiality, international Standard organization (ISO) established information security Standard ISO/IEC 27001. Getting ISO/IEC 27001 Standard certificate helps the organization to identify the problems and defeats in its departments and processes, in addition to promoting organization’s competitive position and giving the organization the competitive advantage that it needs. The goal of this study is to evaluate information management systems in Isfahan University of Medical Science using ISO/IEC 27001 Standard.Methods: This applied research is a descriptive study. Research community is all departments of information technology at Isfahan University of Medical Science, computer centers of faculties and hospitals, in 2011. In this research we used ISO/IEC 27001: 2005 international checklist as a tool for collecting the information. The checklist includes 11 primary parts and each part includes several additional parts and questions. The information was gathered through interviewing, observation and documents of researchers and was analyzed by Excel 2010.Results: the assessment results indicates that in Standard main parts including security policy, organization of information security, asset management, human resources security, physical and environmental security, communications and operations management, access control, information system acquisitions, development and maintenance, information security incident management, business continuity management and compliance, the organizations implemented 31, 40, 28, 65, 73, 54, 54, 44, 58, 38 and 54 percent of the requirements.Conclusion: considering the importance of developing information security management in organizations that deliver information technology services and also the importance of international Standard ISO/IEC 27001 in establishing the organization’s processes based on information security and confidentiality protection, integrity and accessibility, the organization should put more effort into implementing this Standard in its processes. The results indicate that except for the human resources security and physical and environmental security areas, the organization didn’t develop information security management requirements properly in its internal processes.

Background: Nurses are the largest group of medical caregivers in the world. Having highly capable nurses in a healthcare system is directly associated with more favorable outcomes for patients. The rapid development of new medical procedures and equipment necessitates constantly developing new skills and competencies. Thus one of the effective means towards their efficient training is to identify and assess their educational needs. The purpose of this investigation is to study educational needs of nurses by ISO 10015 method. Methods: A descriptive survey research was designed surveying all of the nursing staff of Razi Hospital of Torbat Heydarieh. At the first stage of the study, necessary competencies and skills were identified using two methods of Delphi and job analysis, and then educational needs assessment was done according to ISO 10015 steps. The tools used were researcher designed questionnaires and their reliability and validity were tested by achieving a Cronbach's alpha of 83. 9%, and by content validity method, respectively. Data analysis was done using version 16 of SPSS software. Results: Three hundred and sixty-one skills were identified and were categorized into three categories of general (48 skills), specialized (303 skills), and management (10 skills). Nurses had acceptable competencies in 312 of the identified skills, while there were educational and structural gaps found in 8 general, 36 specialized and 5 management skills, as well as the solutions to overcome the gaps were proposed by a group of experts. At the end, 7 general, 33 specialized and 5 management skills were identified and recorded as knowledge gaps. Conclusion: In this study we found out that the specialized skills are the most important educational needs (ABG interpretation, ventilator settings, and cardiac arrhythmias for nurses; and staff and patients’ needs assessment for head nurses) followed by general nursing skills (hemovigilance), and management skills (quality management). The identified knowledge gaps were considered in planning for the future trainings of the study population.

AIMS: Due to the importance of hospital information systems to improve the quality of health care services, their evaluation has a special place in various aspects. For measuring the quality and efficiency of information systems, an important method involves evaluating them with a usability approach. The aim of this study was usability testing of the hospital information system of a police medical center based on ISO 9241-11. MATERIALS & METHODS: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in one of the selected medical centers of the police force among the users of the hospital information system in 2021 (110 participants). Data were collected through a questionnaire with 35 questions based on ISOMetrics tool. The questionnaire questions were classified into 7 groups and each of them indicated the usability criterion in the ISO 9241-11 Standard. The validity of the questionnaire was assessed by medical informatics specialists and its reliability was assessed by the repeatability test (0. 7). The results of the survey were statistically analyzed using SPSS 26 software. FINDINGS: 23 samples were excluded from the study due to incomplete questionnaires (N=87). The user mean work experience was 10. 62±, 6. 14 years, with a minimum of less than one year and a maximum of 22 years. Nurses had the highest satisfaction (3. 44±, 0. 36) and pharmacy users had the lowest satisfaction (2. 41±, 0. 11) in the information system. In this study, selfdescriptiveness of the information system had the highest mean (3. 44±, 0. 63) and controllability had the lowest mean (3. 13±, 0. 55). In this study, information system self-description had the highest mean score and controllability had the lowest score CONCLUSION: Although the status of the hospital information system was satisfactory, more attention to usability criteria such as controllability and suitability for individualization can improve the quality and efficiency of the current system.

Nowadays, using rail vehicles like metro is necessary for transportation in megacities and metropolises. In this descriptive-analytical study, whole body vibration was evaluated by two methods including basic evaluation and the recommended dose of vibration proposed based on ISO 2631-1 Standard. In the present study measurements were performed over 13000 seconds in usual daily working hours by using SVAN 958 apparatus manufactured by Svantek Company, while the wagons were in motion at average speed. Tri-axial effective acceleration values were determined on the passengers contact surfaces and on the wagon seats in the different lines of Tehran metro. The results of evaluation based on the basic method showed that evaluated levels for 60 and 150 minutes of exposure calculated by an equation with higher safety according to ISO Standard showed that all of samples except one were in the Health Guide Critical Zone (HGCZ). Based on Vibration Dose Value (VDV) method, except for two cases in each group of the exposure periods which were in the HGCZ of ISO, all the other cases had low risk levels of exposure. The findings of both the methods indicated that, different evaluation methods may gain different outcomes. It seems that the recommended safety levels in VDV method seriously need to be corrected. In addition, considering average exposure levels gained in this study, it is recommended to apply appropriate control measures for declining exposure amount of passengers.
