Abstract

First, I am grateful to God (Allah) who enlightened my way in choosing this particular issue for my thesis. Without God's guidance and will, I would not be able to do this work and endure all the obstacles and difficulties I encountered throughout my work. Thank you, God. I would like to express my wholehearted thanks to my father and mother whom I owe my deepest gratitude for her continuous support, inspiration, and patience throughout my entire life and particularly through the process of pursuing my master's degree. Only because of their love and prayers, I have had the chance to complete this thesis. I would like to give my greatest appreciation to my supervisor, Dr. Salwa Massad, for his supervision, encouragement, guidance, and patience throughout this study. I would like to express my thanks to the faculty of health informatics; Arab American University with its entire staff. My special thanks to Mr. Ali Al-Helou the General Director of the General Directorate of Information Technology who gave me the opportunity to pursue a master's degree and for all workers on the COVID-19 surveillance system for their help and support during the data collection phase. I wish to express my gratitude to all my friends and colleagues for their encouragement and endless support.
