Hospital Information Systems
(HIS)
Mrs Supriya Batwalkar
Definition
• A health information system (HIS) is the socio-
technical subsystem of a health-related setting
which comprises all data, information, and
knowledge processing as well as the
associated human or technical actors in their
respective data, information, and knowledge
processing roles.
Meaning
• A hospital information system is a set of applications
designed to manage healthcare data.
• It acts as a centralized database whereby all the
information related to patients, doctors, and staff is
collected and stored.
• Thus, healthcare professionals can offer a quick diagnosis
by visiting patients’ health information whenever possible.
• It also includes systems that handle data related to the
hospital’s operational management or healthcare policy
decisions.
Meaning
• A hospital information system acts as a
centralized database where patient, doctor,
and staff information is collected and stored,
enabling quick access to patient health
records for efficient diagnosis.
Purpose
• The main purpose of healthcare information
systems is to facilitate the use and sharing of
health-related data so decision-makers can identify
problems, make evidence-based choices regarding
health policy, and maximize resource allocation.
• Healthcare information systems are developed and
implemented to promote better patient outcomes
and ensure scarce resources are used efficiently.
1. Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and
Electronic Health Records (EHR)
• The terms EMR and EHR are often used interchangeably.
As the name suggests, EHR is designed to help you
create and store your patient records digitally. It
eliminates the need to save patient details on a paper
system.
• This electronic database lets you maintain your patient’s
record by entering contact details, test results, treatment
history, and more. In addition, it enables easy sharing of
information to another EHR system so that different
healthcare providers can access the patient’s system.
2. Practice Management System
• The practice management system is designed
to assist healthcare personnel with the daily
operational activities of the center. This
includes scheduling, billing
inventory management, and more.
• From small practitioners to multi-centers
hospitals, it can be used by all to automate
various tasks of their administrative functions.
3. Patient Portal
• The patient portal is a platform designed for
patients to access their health data. They can
even book appointments with their doctors
using the application.
• Furthermore, it enables them to receive their
lab results over the portal and actively
communicate with their healthcare
professionals and pharmacists.
4. Clinical Decision Support (CDS)
• Clinical Decision Support (CDS) helps analyze
data from various clinical and administrative
systems. As a result, it helps healthcare make
informed clinical decisions. In addition, these
data are used in preparing for diagnosis and
predicting medical events like drug
interactions.
5. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)
• Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) provides
medical sensors that collect patient data and
transmit it to healthcare professionals who
might not be at the same location.
• It can monitor glucose levels and blood
pressure and detect medical events like heart
attacks. In addition, it can be useful for patients
who cannot access face-to-face health care but
are suffering from chronic disease.

Data analytics
• The
healthcare industry constantly produces data.
Health information systems help gather,
compile and analyze health data to help
manage population health and reduce
healthcare costs.
• Then the healthcare data analysis can improve
patient care.
Collaborative care
• Patients often need to treatments from
different healthcare providers.
• Health information systems — such as health
information exchanges (HIEs) — allow
healthcare facilities to access common health
records, something that can
help improve the speed, quality, safety and co
st of patient care.
Cost control
• Using digital networks to exchange healthcare
data creates efficiencies and cost savings.
• When regional markets use health information
exchanges to share data, healthcare providers
see reduced costs.
• On a smaller scale, hospitals aim for the same
efficiencies with electronic health records.
Population health management
• Health information systems can
aggregate patient data, analyze it and identify t
rends in populations
- in some situations, they can even be used to
predict or prevent outbreaks, or identify at-risk
populations.
• The technology also works in reverse. Clinical
decision support systems can use big data to
help diagnose individual patients and treat
them.
Basic health informatics competencies
• For many healthcare organizations, the goal of
a HIS is to contribute to high quality
healthcare with
basic health informatics competencies.
For patient
Improved Quality of Care
• Patients benefit from HIS through improved
quality of care, reduced medication errors,
and better communication with healthcare
providers.
• Additionally, access to their medical records
empowers patients to be more informed
participants in their healthcare journey.
Enhanced Patient Experience
• HIS streamline appointment scheduling,
reduce wait times, and offer the convenience
of online appointment booking and
prescription refills.
• Additionally, patient portals empower patients
to manage their health information and
communicate with healthcare providers at
their own pace.
Increased Convenience and Accessibility
• Patient portals offer 24/7 access to medical
records, allowing patients to manage their
health information more readily.
• Additionally, online appointment booking and
prescription refills enhance convenience and
accessibility, especially for patients with
limited mobility.
For health care provider
Enhanced Patient Care
• As previously mentioned, HIS empowers
healthcare providers to deliver exceptional
care.
• They can access comprehensive patient data
readily, leading to more informed diagnosis
and treatment plans.
• This translates to improved patient outcomes
and a more personalized approach to care.
Reduced Errors and Improved Safety
• HIS reduces the risk of medication errors by
providing real-time drug interaction alerts and
facilitating accurate dosage calculations.
• Additionally, CDSS functionalities offer
evidence-based practice recommendations,
further enhancing the quality and safety of
patient care.
Improved Communication and Collaboration
• Seamless communication fostered by HIS
ensures everyone involved in a patient's care
is on the same page.
• This streamlines workflows, reduces delays,
and ultimately improves patient safety.
Increased Efficiency and Productivity
• By automating administrative tasks and
offering readily accessible patient information,
HIS frees up valuable time for healthcare
providers to focus on patient care.
• This translates to increased productivity and
improved job satisfaction for medical staff.

Architecture & infrastructure of Health
Information Systems
Architecture of Health Information Systems
• The architecture of an information system
describes its fundamental organization,
represented by its components, their
relationships to each other and to the
environment, and by the principles guiding its
design and evolution
Architecture of Health Information Systems
• The architecture of an information system can
be described by functions, business processes,
application components, services and physical
data processing systems, and their mutual
relationships.
Architecture of Health Information Systems
• There may be several architectural views of an
information system, e.g., a functional view
looking primarily at the functions or a process
view looking primarily at the business
processes.
• Architectures that are equivalent with regard
to certain characteristics can be summarized
in a certain architectural style.
Infrastructure of Health Information
Systems
• The set of components of the information
system and services, which are centrally
coordinated and provided for use throughout
the health care setting, is called
the infrastructure of an information system.
Infrastructure of Health Information
Systems
• The infrastructure of an information system consists of physical
data processing systems such as servers set up centrally in a
data center as well as printers and scanners made available for
all users at central locations.
• The infrastructure may also contain logical tools such as central
application systems that have to be used by most of the users
throughout the health care setting.
• Moreover, the service desk providing support for all users in
the health care setting is also part of the infrastructure.
• Components and services that are dedicated only to a specific
department are not considered to be part of the infrastructure
