HOSPITAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

Sequence of flow• Introduction

• Historical background

• Elements of HIS

• Technologies

• Appplications

• Conclusion

Background • Increased specialization and changes in demographics

• New types of diagnosis, therapies and more complex illnesses

prove to require greater coordination of complex tasks,

thereby in turn also leading to more complex processes.

Background • Hospital Information system is one of the most common

computer systems that have been designed to support health

care services.

• were intended primarily for communication and store health

and administrative information.

Introduction

• “A subsystem of a hospital which comprises all information

processing as well as the associated human or technical

actors in their respective information processing roles”.

(Haux, Winter, 2002)

• HIS is a computer-based system designed to assist the

management of the administrative and medical information

within a hospital Trimmer et al 2002

Historical Background

Scope of HIS

Main elements of a HIS

1. Humans (users)

Healthcare professionals, administrative staff etc

2. Data

Raw data to be processed based on the needs of the users

• 3. ProceduresSeries of guidelines that describe how humans will act under specific circumstances • Support human activities • Ensure that the right information reaches the right person

at the right time

4. Equipment (software-hardware)For the collection, storage, communication and editing of data/ information

Technologies • High speed wired networks • Wireless Networks • Internet • Web servers (client-server) • Video conferencing • Bar-code scanning • Speech recognition

Applications

Use of Standards in HIS

• Universally agreed-on medical vocabulary

• Standards for data exchange

• Standard formats for medical records, laboratory data, medical

images etc

• Standardization of medical literature formats

• Health care standards - treatment guidelines

• Integration of information processing should consider not only

information processing in one health care organization, but

also information processing among different institutions (such

as integrated health care delivery systems)

Hospital Information System in US

• US government has made the adoption of the electronic

medical records as mandatory to all healthcare providers by

2014

(RAND Health 2005)

Hospital Information System in INDIA

• As the healthcare industry in India goes through an expansion, IT is

increasingly being embraced and adopted

• While the overall healthcare market in India is expected to reach nearly

USD 70 billion by 2012, the potential for medical equipment market over

the same time period is pegged at USD 18 billion, while that of health IT

market at USD 3 billion.

HIS Success 1. Formulating a structured approach for health information

selection through:

Developing HIS selection multidisciplinary team

Identifying critical goals

Assessing user needs

2. Incorporating HIS as an organization learning

3. Develop a databases to collect factors affecting the HIS

failures; evaluating HIS and present organizations with best

practices

4. Appeal to knowledge management tools including

community of practice (COP), sharing alliance and working

with experts and coaches to ensure HIS success.

Conclusion • In this competitive global information system (IS) environment,

an integrative system is crucial for the highly demand of

information needs

• HIS is a computer-based system designed to assist the

management of the administrative and medical information

within a hospital

• Hence, by improving operation efficiency, the application of

the systems could also reduce the costs serving patients with

quality of care.
