Abstract

Objective: The national implementation of health information systems has been taking place internationally and is considered a complex process permeated by challenges. This study aims to analyze the factors that have affected the outcomes of government initiatives of this nature.
Methodology: Methodologically, a literature review was conducted using the Knowledge Development Process - Constructivist (Proknow-C). The articles identified through this process underwent content analysis using coding and categorization procedures.
Results: The results reveal a set of 19 categories that encompass sociotechnical aspects that affected the implementation of health information systems internationally. These aspects are related to the broader national context in which the system was introduced (macro level), the institutions where the systems were implemented and their local peculiarities (meso level), and the attributes of individuals, technology, and health processes involved (micro level).
Conclusions: Various intra and inter-level aspects (macro, meso, and micro) are interconnected, shaping the processes of system implementation and their outcomes. Despite covering studies related to the implementation of health information systems in different countries, each with varying levels of technological development, the recorded challenges, critical success factors, and reported best practices exhibit similarities.
