Adoption of OSS have support the Indonesian government's program \"Indonesia
Goes Open Source\" (IGOS), in addition to this study because of the hospitals are
adopting of HIS based on OSS especially in Indonesia has become the primary
choice that hospitals requires a lot of literature that are useful in the decision
making process in the adoption of HIS based on OSS in hospitals.
Objective : To identify characteristics of hospitals, identifying the
characteristics of OSS, and describe the strategy for adoption OSS in hospitals.
Methods : This study used a qualitative method, case study design, and
using a type of holistic multi-case is one problem with a lot of places. The process
of data collection using the instrument of observation and interviews live \"face to
face\". The subjects for in this study were managers, staff and programmers are
there exist in the unit of information technology (IT) in the hospital.
Results : The findings in this study indicate that hospitals par adoption
the HIS based on OSS much going on Electronic Medical Records, Hospital
Information Systems, Pharmacy Information Systems, and Laboratory
Information Systems. Moreover, in minimizing the rejection rate of Human
Resources at hospitals to implementation of new technologies, namely the nonformal
approach. The cost factor is not a major factor in the hospital for IT
managers when deciding to use OSS in HIS. The role of OSS vendors are quite
different, namely to transfer their knowledge of information systems used in
hospitals, and also the support of the University of significantly influence hospital
decisions in the adoption of HIS based on OSS in the hospital .
