OBJECTIVES
HIS for DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
1. discuss hospital information system, its use in the
Nursing Information Systems
different departments of the hospital, and the criteria for
selection; ▪ NIS are developed to enhance patient care by providing
2. identify the functions of a hospital information system nurses with accurate information to assist them in
from patient registration to billing; performing their duties more efficiently
3. explain the different reports and summary in the hospital ▪ NIS carries out numerous functions including the handling
information system; and of:
4. the use of materials management system and in-built tally ➢ personnel schedules,
interface ➢ accurate patient charting, and
➢ better clinical data integration
HOSPITAL INFORMATION SYSTEM ▪ agenda packages help enhance the management of the
module: workforce by helping managers handle overtimes and
• delivery of quality patient care and better financial absences
management ▪ used to obtain cost-effective staffing and show staffing
• should be patient centric, medical staff centric, levels
affordable, and scalable ▪ reduction in planning time
• must be user-friendly and should include training ▪ better assessments and evaluations
• flexible to accommodate hospital growth ▪ Patient Charting Applications – allow better analysis of
critical signs
book: ▪ nurses could check admission information, and care
• HIS is a computer system structured to manage all the plans along with applicable nursing notes
records of health care providers to make available ▪ Crucial information is kept and can be retrieved when
information and reports useful to health care personnel in needed
doing their job more efficiently. ▪ useful in designing patients’ care plan
• introduced in 1960s and has evolved since then to cope
with the changes and demands of modern times
• back then, HIS were used for billing and inventory
• today, it is integrated with other financial, scientific, and
administrative programs
• Modern HIS
Patient Registration
HIS FUNCTIONS
HELP DESK, SCHEDULING, PATIENT REGISTRATION Discharge
Help Desk ▪ through HIS, instructions that accompany a patient’s
▪ becomes more efficient through the HIS because the discharge or transfer are more efficiently provided
manual retrieval of information is no longer needed ▪ these instructions may include discharge planning which
▪ clients are provided with information and guidelines details services needed to be administered after the
associated with a company’s or institution’s products and hospital stay to ensure the full recovery of the patient
services without any hassle
Scheduling
▪ managers and employees:
– can access work schedules from anywhere they are
– effectively discuss their scheduling preferences
through the HIS
▪ Employee scheduling software helps save time and
makes employee scheduling less difficult
Patient Registration
▪ HIS Patient Registration Form records the following:
✓ name
✓ age
✓ gender
✓ marital status
✓ other relevant information
▪ usually filled out during the patient’s visit or consultation
▪ if patient is unable to complete the form due to the need Discharge Procedures
for prompt medical attention, it can be filed out by a Transfer
relative or guardian ▪ “transfer” means movement (along with the discharge) of
an individual outside of the hospital premises at the
instruction of any authorized hospital personnel
▪ however, it does not encompass movement of an
individual who:
a) has been declared lifeless
b) leaves the facility without permission of any such
authorized person
(Louisiana State University, 1993)
▪ if transferred from ER, employees must fulfill the statutory
requirements for a proper switch
▪ with HIS, patient transfer details are easily accessed and
processed
CARDIOLOGY Reporting
o contain important medical information based on the test
results of the patient which are against past medical
records
o faster writing of vascular reports by doctors
– access and retrieval of information are made more
convenient through computer systems
o using the CIS, vascular sonography reports are accurately
created with only a few clicks
o information on these reports could include ultrasonic
ultrasound and diagrams
o nowadays, physicians opt to provide automated reports
through the use of information systems
o medical staff can process lab reports for the approval of
the physician
Sample Hospital Management Form in Tally.ERP9
o this means that results are generated more efficiently
which translates to improved patient experience.

reports provide non-monetary information
– enables the management to have an oversight of its
operations
o capture necessary data required by the management to
operate more efficiently
o data redundancy and data quality issues are minimized
o good management reporting system enhances capability
of an institution to be more responsive, efficient, and
effective in decision-making
– affects institution as a whole
o offer holistic view which highlights high value sources
o eradicates lack of visibility in reviewing the performance of
the institution (Kumar, 2017)
