Hospital information system
Hospital information system :
Hospital facility managers need to be able to leverage information to make their buildings work better and to help meet their hospital’s mission. A system that integrates information from all hospital sub-systems— HVAC, energy management, fire safety, air quality, and security — into a common, centrally-monitored total building solution can help reduce energy usage;
streamline maintenance; improve occupant comfort, safety, and security; comply with hospital building codes; and enhance sustainability. An integrated building system drives efficiencies and helps to reduce overhead costs.
An integrated building system provides flexibility and the ability to interface with other sub-systems and information, such as weather data, energy procurement information, maintenance management software, and equipment optimization software. It
can help bridge the communication gap between facility managers, medical staff, and patients, resulting in improved productivity and comfort through participation, a reduction in utility expenses, and a commitment to a “green” workplace.
Hospital facility directors can learn more about integrated building systems by participating in related organizations, becoming familiar with research and trends in the industry, and understanding the codes and standards related to their facility. They can
partner with a consultant or solutions provider who is aware of the issues of risk versus ease of accessibility and who has a breadth of solutions, proven experience, and a vision for the future.
The benefits of an integrated building system, or total building solution, are realized in four main areas: systems consolidation, personnel management, patient care and comfort, and preventive maintenance.

Today, statistics and information is the most important source of power in the world and also one of the valuable and main sources of managers of an organization. Just as human resources, raw materials and financial resources have a special role and value in the production process, but in the age of information and information communication, they have a special value. It is generally the source of all information management activities. Information flow is vital and the basis of the decision-making and planning process. Managers will not be able to make effective decisions without having complete information about an issue. Therefore, in management, we need a comprehensive information system because the management process relies on obtaining appropriate and accurate information. Information technology has changed dramatically in recent years due to the increasing growth and expansion of the use of computer facilities and data transmission and the creation of global networks such as the Internet through valuable information and various services . In the past decade, our country’s health centers, especially hospitals, have sought to mechanize their information systems. Initially, the purpose of such activities was to reduce the cost of paper games in manual and office systems, but now we have reached a stage where improving the quality of medical services is becoming increasingly important. The purpose of this work is that all health information of each person during his life is stored in the form of an electronic file that can be accessed anywhere in the country through a global computer network. Unfortunately, most of the software available in Iran is designed to meet customer demand and not based on a comprehensive, logical and systematic approach, so because they are designed for different customers They are not compatible with each other and communication between them in a network environment is very difficult and costly both financially for the buyer and engineering for the manufacturer. The existence of agreed standards with the reduction of the mentioned costs is in the benefit of both the manufacturers of hospital information software and the users.
Hospital information system in Hospitals :
Doctors and nurses or other health care providers need medical information to treat a patient. In health care organizations, due to their role in determining and promoting the health of human society, trial and error is very wrong and irreparable. Therefore, management based on accurate, accurate, and timely information and having an information management system is of particular importance. Hospitals as one of the most important social organizations have a major role in improving the health of the country and providing health services and are one of the most sensitive organizations that for their proper management must be properly collected information and after monitoring and classification And the inference should be properly and at the right time available to all hospital decision makers, especially its managers and heads, so the operation of a complex organization with multiple departments such as hospitals requires access to information. The information may be related to patient care or the hospital itself, so it is important to distinguish between patient information and hospital information.
The MEDTECH company was founded in accordance to the demand for modernization of hospital systems, and through extensive research by specialized personals and scientists has now become a medical equipment Company for smart hospital systems and modular smart hospital rooms . The products and systems of this collection are: : Modern Operating Room ، OR Sliding Door ، Laminar Air Flow ، DC Shock Device ، Hospital Information System ، Nurse call System ، Hospital Intercom System ، Hospital Building Design ، Operating Room Surgical Light
Simply put, a medical information system is a set of applications designed to manage healthcare data and act as a centralized database, collecting all information about patients, staff, and physicians, depending on the type. Is saved.
Therefore, health care professionals can provide a quick diagnosis at any time by referring to the patient’s medical information
It should be noted that the information systems of medical centers manage a large amount of important and sensitive information that the security of these systems is always the main concern.
In the past, the information systems of hospitals and medical centers were manual and administrative, which in addition to the high costs of paperwork, human error, loss of information and data, and the whole administrative process was done with lower speed and accuracy. Made me think about designing Information Systems.
What is the main purpose of the medical information system?
Health care organizations are constantly generating data that includes data on surgical volume, length of hospital stay, patient health status, insurance and billing, costs and revenues associated with patient care, and more.
The main purpose of health information systems is to help organizations capture, interpret and apply this data.
Why is it important to use information systems in medical centers?
In the field of “information and data” medicine, they save human lives, which is their most precious asset!
And the rapid provision of health information and data to health care professionals depends on the information systems of health care providers, how well they can integrate health care with information technology.
Medical information systems can also analyze statistics from different departments or procedures to better allocate resources to organizations; And in this regard, they are very important for the managers of the centers.
- Hospital Information System (HIS)
World HIS startup history
The first comprehensive hospital information system was established at the Lille Hospital in France in 1983. This 40,000-bed hospital with two metro stations is one of the largest hospitals in Europe.
In parallel, across Europe, several comprehensive hospital information systems were designed and implemented based on different standards.
History of HIS implementation in Iran
The idea of using a hospital information system first emerged in Imam Hossein Hospital in Shahroud in May 1999.
At the beginning of the work, several medical universities in the country that were said to use computers in hospitals were contacted and experts from Shahroud School of Medical Sciences and Health Services traveled to several cities in the country and visited these hospitals and gained the necessary experience. The foreign intelligence function was examined and it was confirmed that HIS has been successfully implemented in many developed and even developing countries and has brought good results. In general, the decision was made to implement this project and in the first half of 2000 Hardware platform (including: cabling, positioning of workstations, installation of hubs and switches, servers and provision of required computers) was implemented. Also, a proposal to pilot this center was submitted to the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, which was approved. After holding a few preliminary sessions, the contract for the implementation of the system and the installation of the software began on 28/6/1379, and its various stages were performed in order and according to the schedule.
What is a Hospital Information System (HIS)?
The Hospital Information System (HIS) is an integrated and comprehensive system developed to manage the financial, administrative, and clinical areas of hospitals. In fact, hospitals use information systems to effectively manage data in most areas of health care, including: finance, inpatient, operating room, nursing, radiology, clinical, laboratory, and so on.
HIS generally consists of two broad systems:
Patient care system
Management information system
The division of HIS into these two broad categories is conceptual. It can be said that the information system that supports administrative activities, human resources, facilities and hotel management activities, is subject to the management information system.
And information systems for patient care performance, ie the main business activity of the hospital, is under the patient care information system.
- Clinical Information System (CIS)
The system is for storing and collecting information in clinical centers, which can include various sections, including: client information, patient services, physicians and nurses, clinic admissions, and در in its database, and when needed, Process it.
In fact, the Clinical Information System (CIS) facilitates direct patient care; Activities in which caregivers are physicians and nurses, but in addition to which nutritionists, clinical psychologists, clinical pharmacists, clinical microbiologists, radiologists, endoscopists, optometrists, audiologists, etc. are also involved. A good CIS provides help and guidance for clinicians to do their job along with obtaining relevant data.
CIS is also a simple and inexpensive solution compared to traditional methods!
- Radiology Information System (RIS)
Radiology Information System (RIS) is a complex database system used by radiologists to track patient information and large image files that are typically created during diagnosis and treatment. RIS is a special type of electronic health record or EHR system, designed specifically for use in radiology. You use it to access patient data as well as distribute it.
Implementing RIS helps your employees work more accurately. This reduces medical errors and transcription errors in the charts and, at the same time, helps you make more prominent diagnoses.
Radiology information systems are also important for coordinating care at service boundaries.
With a radiology information system, you can integrate multiple functions into one comprehensive system, eliminate additional actions, and increase the efficiency of your staff with easier access to important data.
From registering and scheduling to billing and reporting results, RIS simplifies operations so your staff can care for more patients.
As a decision maker, what do you consider for the provision of your center’s information system?
Some of the important features that medical information systems should have:
Make income management easy.
Increase clinical decision making.
Make technical progress of hospitals and medical centers.
Ensure data security (have security certificates)
Be able to eliminate system errors and control every detail instantly.
Ability to retrieve information.
Increase efficiency and patient care.
And most importantly, be able to communicate with other systems in the medical center because the integration of information and data in all parts of the center is of particular importance.
To achieve a digital and smart hospital with high productivity, all information and data must be accessible in all departments.
Otherwise, information must be re-entered in each section, which wastes a lot of time and money and increases the possibility of errors.
