ICT STRATEGY AND IMPLIMENTATION IN A HOSPITAL JARED M OWINY
UNITID FELLOW- HIV PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT
Slide 3
INTRODUCTION ICT strategy and implementation entails the change
from traditional manual system of data collection and processing to
Electronic system EMR that embraces modern technology with the
relevant trained human resources for implantation and
utilization
Slide 4
What needs to be done? Site preparation which will involve:
Civil works, Electrical installations Fixed Cable Installation
(Fibre, Copper Cabling) Enhancement Features Provision (Wireless,
Voice, Video, Security) WAN / Internet Connectivity Capacity
building Security features Monitoring and evaluation
Slide 5
OBJECTIVES The Hospital ICT Strategy and implementation has the
overall objective of establishing a strong ICT infrastructure to
support hospital operations by providing the means to capture,
transmit, store and retrieve information in an accurate and timely
manner, thereby enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency in
providing evidence based healthcare, training and research
Slide 6
Communication network infrastructure The foundation for the ICT
applications and services which will support the hospital processes
like patient care, medical records and administrative functions.
Installing, upgrading the current manual system to the desired
automated system
Slide 7
CONTD. - Site preparation involving civil works, electrical
installations Fixed Cable Installation (Fibre, Copper Cabling) -
Procurement of the necessary hardware and software and provision -
Provision enhancement Features (Wireless, Voice, Video, Security)
WAN / Internet Connectivity
Slide 8
Capacity building Capacity building (staff training) must be
done to all staff to change to the electronic data and records
management including the administrative functions. Change
management process and champions to be identified to lead the
transformation to the electronic system
Slide 9
Security system Security features and appliances for the system
must be put in place to ensure controlled accessibility, sharing of
information that takes cognizance of privacy, confidentiality and
ethical issues
Slide 10
Monitoring and Evaluation This is important to gauge the
success of the strategy and its implementation. - Upon completion,
the IHMIS must be monitored and evaluated if all features and
equipment are functioning well for the realization of the
objectives and the overall goal
Slide 11
Conclusion It is envisaged that with the development of the
appropriate ICT architecture and also putting in place correct ICT
policies, the hospital is poised to save in communication costs in
the long run, however the initial budgetary requirement is huge and
must be financed in one way of the other
