Background: Clinical information needs identification is one of the early stages of the clinical information system requirement analysis process. Identification of clinical information needs is important because it can help provide direction and guidance on the design of systematic clinical information systems. In addition, the clinical information needs identification can also help in understanding the complexity of clinical situations in the health domain, particularly in hospital inpatient department and to help accommodate the needs of end users (in this case the doctors who are responsible for patients (DPJP) and nurses) so that later will succeed the implementation of the clinical information systems itself or in other words, the system’s penetration becomes high, which will ultimately improve the service quality to the patient. Methods: This was qualitative study that is descriptive in nature by grounded theory approach. Data was collected by direct observation, document analysis and unstructured interview in April 2015 to May 2015. Three nurses and 1 physician participated in this study. Result: The results of this study are 6 components of clinical information needs by the doctor (DPJP) and nurses at the inpatient department at UGM Hospital. Conclusion: This study shows that there is a difference of information needs between the DPJP and the nurses at the UGM hospital.
