Description:
HMIS project was conceptualized by the department of health & family welfare to
ensure
the quality health care by IT application
in such a manner
so as to provide standard clinical & diagnostic tools,
hospital management
tools and integration of management information
at the state level so as to ensure online review
& monitoring.
The Health Management Information
System
(HMIS) has been envisaged
to not only
help
the administrators to have better monitoring
and control of the functioning of hospitals across
the state using decision support indicators but also assist the
doctors and medical staff to
improve health services with readily reference patient data,
work
flow
enabled less-paper process
and parameterized alarms and triggers during patient treatment cycle.
HMIS enables monitoring
pre-defined health
indicators and the embedded exception reporting facilitates decision making by the hospital management and
state
level
administrators for policy and strategic decisions.
HMIS is state-of the-art
healthcare solution
to
provide better care to patients by
addressing all the
major
functional areas of the
hospital
& the entire
gamut of hospital activities.
Each hospital is unique in its requirements and priorities.
HMIS is end-to-end
solution to
the healthcare industry
which offers the flexibility
of allowing a hospital to choose from various modules as per the hospital specific needs.
One of the major
concerns of most hospitals is confidentiality
of reports and records. HMIS provides multiple levels of security in the software, so that
data
pertaining to
various
functions of the hospital remains confidential. A role based access control mechanism
is deployed for restricting /
permitting the form level data
access.
