Abstract

The research focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of the e-government system at Camarines Norte Provincial Hospital. It assesses the system's performance using the System Evaluation Questionnaire aligned with the ISO 25010-2011 system/software quality model indicators, which include functionality, reliability, usability, performance efficiency, compatibility, portability, and security. The study's findings indicate that iHOMIS performs exceptionally well at Camarines Norte Provincial Hospital, particularly excelling in functionality, reliability, usability, and security. This suggests that the system is robust, user-friendly, and meets users' needs effectively, with users expressing confidence in the system's data protection and privacy measures.
However, the results for performance efficiency, compatibility, maintainability, and portability are satisfactory but suggest areas for improvement. Overall, the findings point to a positive user experience at Camarines Norte Provincial Hospital, although there is potential for further enhancements to achieve consistent excellence across all evaluated criteria. The study concludes that iHOMIS is well-suited to meet the e-governance needs of government facilities like Camarines Norte Provincial Hospital. The successful implementation of iHOMIS at CNPH demonstrates the significant impact of the Department of Health's initiative in improving hospital operational efficiency and patient outcomes. CNPH's digital transformation journey serves as a model for other government healthcare facilities aiming to enhance patient outcomes through digital means. The insights from this study are expected to be pivotal in advancing e-government initiatives nationwide.
