HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM:

HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM

DEFINITION:
DEFINITION The HMIS has been defined as a system that provides an appropriate information support to each
decision making level of the health care delivery system.
COMPONENTS:
COMPONENTS It can be composed of one or a few software components with specialty-specific extensions as well
as of a large variety of sub-systems in medical specialties Laboratory Information System (LIS) Radiology
Information System (RIS) Clinical Information System (CIS) Financial Information System (FIS) Nursing
Information Systems (NIS) Pharmacy Information System (PIS)
SOFTWARE COMPONENT:
SOFTWARE COMPONENT A software component is a system element offering a predefined service or event, and
able to communicate with other components. It should be.. Multiple-use Composable with other components (inter
relationship with other components) Encapsulated i.e., non-investigable through its interfaces A unit of independent
deployment and versioning
LABORATORY INFORMATION SYSTEM (LIS):
LABORATORY INFORMATION SYSTEM (LIS) Lab Information System (LIS), is a class of software which
handles receiving, processing and storing information generated by medical laboratory processes. These systems often
must interface with instruments and other information systems such as hospital information systems (HIS). LIS '
include hematology, Biochemistry, immunology, blood bank (Donor and Transfusion Management), surgical
pathology, anatomical pathology, flow cytometry and microbiology.
RADIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM (RIS):
RADIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM (RIS) A Radiology Information System (RIS) is a computerized database
used by radiology departments to store, manipulate and distribute patient radiological data and imagery. The system
generally consists of patient tracking and scheduling, result reporting and image tracking capabilities.
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (CIS):
CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (CIS) A Clinical Information System (CIS) is a computer based system that
is designed for collecting, storing, manipulating and making available clinical information important to the healthcare
delivery process. ( e.g. electronic medical records)
FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (FIS):
FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (FIS) Financial Information Systems (FIS) are computer systems that
manage the business aspect of a hospital. While healthcare organizations primary priority is to save lives and not
making profits, they do acquire running costs from day to day operations; including purchases and staff payroll.
PHARMACY INFORMATION SYSTEMS (PIS) :
PHARMACY INFORMATION SYSTEMS (PIS) Pharmacy information systems (PIS) are complex computer
systems that have been designed to meet the needs of a pharmacy department. Through the use of such systems,
pharmacists can supervise and have inputs on how medication is used in a hospital.
NURSING INFORMATION SYSTEM (NIS):
NURSING INFORMATION SYSTEM (NIS) Nursing information systems (NIS) are computer systems that manage
clinical data from a variety of healthcare environments, and made available in a timely and orderly fashion to aid
nurses in improving patient care.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:
ADVANTAGES:
GENERAL BENIFITS:
GENERAL BENIFITS Savings Substantial savings in manpower, time and costs through improved productivity
Effectiveness Increased administrative & operational effectiveness and improved communications between the
peripheral labs with the central lab Simplification Improved and simplified work / process flow through automation
Quality Reduced errors and duplication of work
Centralization Consolidation of information into a single point Optimization Empowers better use of existing
resources (people, time and money) at the organization Competitive Advantage Improved customer satisfaction and
market position
BENIFITS DOCTOR:
BENIFITS DOCTOR AID IN FASTER DECISION MAKING(ECG X RAY ,LAB INVESTIGATIONS) SAVES
TIME CAN GIVE SUGGESTION DIRECTLY IDEAL FOR KEEPING TRACK OF PATIENT RECORDS CAN
PREPARE DISCHARGE SUMMARY EASILY
Slide 23:
PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION ABOUT SYMPTOMS AND HEALTH BACKGROUND HELP TO
DECIDE ON A COURSE OF TREATMENT CAPTURE REFERING DOCTOR'S DATA
NURSE:
NURSE COMMUNICATE FASTLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO IN PATIENT BILLING CAN REFER REPORTS
IMMEDIATELY CAN GET PATIENT INFORMATION CAN CLARIFY PATIENT DOUBT CAN BE USED IN
TRAINING NEW STAFFS CAN REPORT ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS
MANAGERS:
MANAGERS PREPARE ONLINE (UP-TO-DATE) PATIENT BILL WHEN THE PATIENT IS DISCHARGED
DAILY COLLECTION REPORT FOR OPD & INDOOR " PATIENT WISE -CASH / CHECK COLLECTED
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
PATIENT:
PATIENT BETTER TREATMENT (FASTER) ADEQUATE INFORMATION REGARDING TREATMENT AND
TESTS CAN DO OPD BOOKING CAN ACCESS SPECIAL PACKAGES CAN CONTACT HEALTH TEAM CAN
FORSEE THE COST OF TREATMENT CAN GIVE FEED BACKS
ADMINISTRATORS:
ADMINISTRATORS MANAGEMENT CAN CONVEY THEIR MESSAGE TO ALL WORKERS REGULARLY
(HOSPITAL ORDERS , EVENTS ,CIRCULARS) CAN GET FEED BACK FROM EMPLOYEES AND PATIENTS
CAN ASSESS THE CURRENT FUNCTIONING OF HOSPITAL
DISADVANTAGES:
DISADVANTAGES COSTLY IN MAINTANANCE AND UPGRADING DIFFICULT TO TRAIN ALL THE
WORKERS MISUSE OF DATA STORED HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE PROBLEMS WILL HAVE A
TREMENDOUS EFFECT IN HOSPITAL FUNCTIONING
