THE SIGNIFICANCE OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS OF MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS FOR EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) is a key component of modern healthcare infrastructure, aimed at effectively managing the administrative, clinical, and financial processes in hospitals. HMIS provides integrated management of patient data, facilitating access to information and improving the quality of healthcare services. The main components of HMIS include business and financial systems, communication systems, medical documentation, department management, and medical support systems. The benefits of using HMIS include improved patient care quality, enhanced financial management, reduced repeat testing and transcription errors, and reliable data storage. With advancing technology, HMIS needs to be flexible and adaptable, ensuring accurate data storage, quick access to information, and restricting unauthorized access.
