Description:	Health information system (HIS), despite its importance for a secure access to patients' vital medical information among doctors, nurses, pharmacists, other healthcare providers, and the patients themselves, is still in its infancy in the developing countries. A number of barriers have been identified as the root cause of the problem, the most challenging of which is the lack of user requirements. Generally, the previous studies on HIS have not taken into account the factor of user requirements. Furthermore, to date, there is no comprehensive model available for the success of HIS, which takes the impact of user requirements factor in the developing countries into consideration. Thus, the present study addresses this gap by exploring the influence of user requirements factor on HIS in Yemen. The study, which is an extension of the Deleon’s model and the Mclean’s model, has included the user requirements factor in increasing the success level of the models to a greater height. By using the quantitative method, the data were collected and analysed concurrently. A copy each of the self-administered structured questionnaire was distributed to a total of 250 employees, under HIS departments in seven hospitals in Sanaa, Yemen, to examine their user needs and user requirements towards the success of HIS that influence user requirements for the same purpose. After being returned, the 200 questionnaires were manually examined and it was found that twenty (20) copies were incomplete. The data collected from a total of 180 returned questionnaires were then analysed using the SPSS statistical tool and AMOS. Specifically, the study used the descriptive data analysis as well as factor analysis. Structural equation modelling (SEM) using AMOS was used to validate the developed research model. The results from the quantitative data analysis reveal that the factors of health information quality and HIS users have influenced the employees’ intention in using HIS. The results show that all of the goodness of fit indices of the model have met the recommended values, which suggests that the proposed model is acceptable. Thus, the results of the study have confirmed the Deleon and Mclean’s results, which contribute towards enriching our understanding of the influence of user requirements on the success of HIS. It is anticipated that the developed model could be utilised for the successful implementation of HIS in Yemen., Certification of Master s / Doctoral Thesis is not available,Master of Information System
