 what is HIS?

HIS. Hospital Information System. One that supports all hospital

functions and activities such as patient records, scheduling,
administration, charge-back and billing, and often links to or includes
clinical information systems such as RIS. (Radiology Information
System )
that part of a HIS in which computer systems are used as ICT-
tools(information and communication technology ) is referred to as
its
r computer-supported part
the remainder is being referred to as the
r non-computer-supported part
as a consequence, a hospital has a HIS from ...
r the beginning of its existence on

3
 what is HIS?
the question is not
r whether a hospital should be equipped with a hospital
information system or not,
but an appropriate question would be ...
r whether the performance should be enhanced, for example,
by using state of the art ICT-tools
HIS must consider all areas of a hospital:
r wards
r outpatient units
r service units (diagnostic, therapy,others)
r administrative departments
r management/executive units

 what is HIS?
HIS must consider all groups of persons
r physicians
r nurses
r administrative staff
r technical staff
r health informaticians / health information managers
r ...
... and last, but not least,
r patients

 Conclusions
The system allows for interaction between the various
component in an integrated and modular format
While creating a composite Master Patient Index
comprising of all kinds of financial,administrative and
clinical information, the system also serves to pass on
the message
A technology that allows computers and networks to
add and extract value from information as the
information moves throughout an organization
The information can be assigned, routed, activated and
managed through system-controlled rules that mirror
the decision processes of the business operations in the
hospital

The function of HIS

17
HIS have the ability to link the following
major players
Laboratories
Pharmacies
Researchers
Doctors and consultants
Banks and financial institutions
Administrators
And knowledge managers

18
19
 the aim of a HIS is
r to adequately enable the execution of information
processing functions
for patient care, including
administration as well as
for research and education mainly
for university hospitals -
r considering economic hospital management, as well as
r legal and other requirements
therefore HIS contributes to a high quality of patient
care and medical research

20
 HIS should provide
r information, primarily about patients, in a way that it
is correct, pertinent and up to date, in time, accessible by
the right persons at the right site in a usable format
r knowledge, primarily about diseases, but also, for
example, about the effects of drug interaction, to support
diagnosis and therapy
r information about the quality of patient care, hospital
performance and costs

21
in other words:
HIS should provide, as far as feasible,
r the right information and
r the right knowledge
r at the right time
r in the right place
r to the right people
r in the right form
so that these people can make
r the right decisions

22
 university hospitals / university medical centers,
in addition to patient care
r undertake research and teaching to gain
medical knowledge and deeper understanding
r new knowledge is gained from specific
experiences in patient care through careful data
collection
r to support this, also specialized biometric
methods, such as planning clinical trials,are needed

23
ten application areas will be the necessary part of the
HIS

1. Admissions, Medical Records & Abstracting

(ADM/MRI/ABS)
2. Billing/Account Receivable (BAR)
3. Community Wide Scheduling (CWS)
4. Data Repository (DR)
5. Imaging and Therapeutic Services (ITS)
6. Laboratory, Microbiology, Blood Bank & Anatomical
Pathology (LIS)
7. Order Entry & Electronic Medical Record (OE/EMR)
8. Patient Care System (PCS)
9. Pharmacy (PHA)
10. Remote Physician Access

importance of HIS

25
 the information system of a hospital is an important
quality factor
the information system of a hospital is an important
cost factor
the quality of HIS is becoming increasingly relevant
in the competition between hospitals
a HIS can provide a holistic view of patients and of a
hospital
a HIS can be seen as the memory and nervous
system of a hospital
