s a way to store images and matches well with the workflow in the radiology department and can spread to other parts of hospital. Integration with other PACS and other hospital systems like radiology information system (RIS), hospital information system (HIS), and electronic patient records has been completely done, but there are still problems. PACS also provide good conditions for setting up Tele-radiology. The next step for PACS is where hospitals and health care organizations share photos in integrated electronic patient record. Among the different ways for sharing photos between different hospitals, IHE (integrating the health care enterprise) standard indexes the cross-enterprise document sharing profile (XDS) and allows sharing photos from various hospitals even if their PACS has different brands and different vendors. Application of XDS is useful for sharing images between health care organizations without duplicating them in a central archive. Images need to be indexed in a central registry. In the XDS profile, IHE defines an indexing mechanism for printing and indexing images in the central document registry. IHE also defines mechanisms to be used by each hospital to retrieve images, regardless of storing them in hospital PACS.

Since hospitals give their services to a huge number of people most of whom are sick and disabled and also because they have many expensive and modern equipment and facilities, any negligence regarding the standards of safety management leads to severe damages including financial ones. This may even result in irrecoverable consequences such as their clients’ Death. So, this investigation was conducted to assess the condition of safety management in Isfahan’s AL Zahra hospital. This cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical project was conducted in different wards of AL Zahra hospital. In this study, the hospital''s units under the investigation were determined and no sampling method was used. The data collection was done by a checklist and questionnaire. They had content validity which was confirmed by the viewpoints of psychiatric and behavioral sciences specialists. The data were analyzed through SPSS (version 16) using Kruskal Wallis statistical tests. In this study, the level of significance was 0.05. After assessing safety management in Safety and Accidents Committee and calculating the score average of the studied factors, safety management organization and also hospital’s organizational constructs sectors were 74.43±13.47 and 65.48±12.25, respectively. Their safety management condition was assessed appropriate. Surgery ward was also assessed appropriate regarding the principles of safety management with a mean score of 77.36±13.84. No significant difference was found among the studied standards in these units according to Kruskal Wallis statistical test. (P-value>0.05) The results showed that the condition of safety management in this hospital was acceptable, in general. However, it is necessary to do the following interventions to improve safety condition; training managers and staff, setting and observing the rules and disciplines of safety, regular monitoring of safety issues and considering safety principles implementation as an important factor in evaluating and ranking of hospitals.

The main objective of this research was to investigate the viewpoints of managers and finance experts of medical sciences on the impact of implementation of the modern financial system (accrual accounting) on the components of their quality of work life. To achieve this goa Walton''s theory (1973) quality of life, was employed, totally 66 people from universities of medical sciences of all over Iran were selected, and nine hypotheses were compiled and tested via a questionnaire. The results of the analysis through one sample and two sample t-tests and variance analysis demonstrated that, as the participants believed, implementation of the modern financial system (accrual accounting) had no significant effect on the components of their quality of work life (fair and adequate payment, and overall living space). However it was effective on other components. The highest impact factor was in relation to the «safe working environment» and the least impact factor proved to be the variable «social unity in the organization».

Identification of the styles of behavior management as related to job attitudes and satisfaction level of management has been among the topics of interest in the past few decades. This study aimed to examine the leadership styles of managers (heads) and its correlation with job satisfaction among university employees. The study population included all employees working at Shiraz University. A sample of 107 subjects as the manager (head) who had their position for two consecutive years was randomly selected from each set of three. To review and assess the transformative interactionism managers, Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) designed by Boss and Vlyv (1995) was used. A questionnaire was used to assess the level of job satisfaction. Content validity and reliability of the method was assessed by calculating the reliability coefficient (Cronbach''s alpha). The alpha for job satisfaction was obtained 0.79. The results showed that the correlations between job satisfaction and leadership style (R=0.58), transformational leadership style (R=0.58) and the transactional leadership style (R=0.46) were significant (p<0.001). The results of this study indicated that leadership style can be used as a facilitator which motivates the direct and indirect impact on job satisfaction. People''s values influence the way they manage and especially determines their satisfaction about the organization. The concepts of transformational leadership styles of managers, their gender and level of mental stimulation showed the greatest effect on job satisfaction.

Nowadays different countries benefit from health system based on health cards and projects related to smart cards. Lack of facilities which cover this technology is obvious in our society. This paper aims to design Minimum Data Sets of Health Smart Card System for Iran. This research was an applied descriptive study. At first, we reviewed the same projects and guidelines of selected countries and the proposed model was designed in accordance to the country''s needs, taking people’s attitude about it by Delphi technique. A data analysis in study stage of MDS(Minimum Data Sets) of Health Smart Card in the selective countries was done by comparative tables and determination of similarities and differences of the MDS. In the stage of gaining credit for model, it was accomplished with descriptive statistics to the extent of absolute and relative frequency through SPSS (version 16) Minimum Data Sets of Health Smart Card provides continuous care for patients and communication among providers. So, it causes a decrease in the complications of threatening diseases. Collection of MDS of diseases increases the quality of care assessment.
