Abstract
An information system that will be suitable for every user in any circumstances, and could fit to all users’ needs and their individuality is not acceptable. Instead of imposing one system for all users’ it is most appropriate to consider making systems adaptable to its future users’ cultural needs and preferences. Therefore, this research explores the culture specific behavior adaptation in the HIS domain and introduces the cultural behavior features for hospital information systems adaptation.
