HOSPITAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

A computerized management system for handling three categories of tasks in a healthcare environment

New cards
New cards
  1. Support clinical & medical patient care activities in the hospital

  2. Administer the hospital’s daily business transactions (financial, personnel, payroll, bed census, etc)

  3. Evaluate hospital performances & costs, project the long-term forecast

three categories of tasks in a healthcare environment;

  6. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)

TYPES OF HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

New cards
New cards

ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD (EMR) & ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD (EHR)

 These two terms are almost used interchangeably.  The "electronic ____ record" replaces the paper version of a patient’s medical history.  The "electronic ____ record" includes more health data, test results, and treatments.  It also is designed to share data with other electronic health records so other healthcare providers can access a patient’s healthcare data.

New cards
New cards

PRACTICE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

 Helps healthcare providers manage daily operations such as scheduling and billing.  Healthcare providers, from small practices to hospitals, use practice management systems to automate many of the administrative tasks

New cards
New cards

MASTER PATIENT INDEX (MPI)

 Connects separate patient records across databases.  The index has a record for each patient that is registered at a healthcare organization and indexes all other records for that patient.  Used to reduce duplicate patient records and inaccurate patient information that can lead to claim denials.

New cards
New cards

PATIENT PORTALS

 allow patients to access their personal health data such as appointment information, medications and lab results over an internet connection.  Some, allow active communication with their physicians, prescription refill requests, and the ability to schedule appointments.

New cards
New cards

REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING (RPM)

 Telehealth, allows medical sensors to send patient data to healthcare professionals.  It frequently monitors blood glucose levels and blood pressure for patients with chronic conditions.  The data is used to detect medical events that require intervention and can possibly become part of a larger population health study.

New cards
New cards

CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT (CDS)

 A system that analyze data from various clinical and administrative systems to help healthcare providers make clinical decisions.  The data can help prepare diagnoses or predict medical events — such as drug interactions.  These tools filter data and information to help clinicians care for individual patients.

New cards
New cards

 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.

BENEFITS OF HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMS Data Analytics:

New cards
New cards
  • 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.

BENEFITS OF HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMS Collaborative Care:

New cards
New cards
  • 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.

BENEFITS OF HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMS Cost Control

New cards
New cards
  • Health information systems can aggregate patient data, analyze it and identify trends in populations.

  • The technology also works in reverse.

  • Clinical decision support systems can use big data to help diagnose individual patients and treat them.

BENEFITS OF HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMS Population Health Management:

Radiology Information System

 A networked software system for managing medical imagery and associated data.  Especially useful for tracking radiology imaging orders and billing information  Used in conjunction with PACS & VNAs to manage image archives, record-keeping and billing.

BASIC FUNCTIONS OF RADIOLOGICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (RIS)

New cards
New cards

PATIENT MANAGEMENT

 RIS can track a patient’s workflow within the radiology department.  It can add images and reports to EHRs where they can be viewed by authorized radiology staff.  It facilitates patient management as processes like patient registration, scheduling, and Patient Tracking is digitized.

New cards
New cards

SCHEDULING AND SHARING

 Radiological Information System (RIS) allows staff to make appointments for patients and other people.  It enables the distribution of patient data and medical images.  The interaction between physicians is made easier by allowing access to documents within the computer system

New cards
New cards

PATIENT TRACKING

 With the RIS system, providers can easily track patients’ radiology history from admission to discharge and coordinate with past and future appointments.

New cards
New cards

RESULT REPORTING

 A RIS can generate statistical reports for a single patient, group of patients or particular procedures.

New cards
New cards

IMAGE TRACKING

 Radiology providers use RIS to track the patient’s associated data.  Like EHRs have become a standard to use in the healthcare sector, PACS is widely adopted in the medical enterprise  RIS provides a detailed financial report of automated claims and electronic payments

New cards
New cards

BILLING

 RIS systems provide detailed financial record-keeping and process electronic payments and automated claims, though these functions are becoming incorporated into medical organizations' overall EHR systems.

New cards
New cards

Interfacing

The exchange of information between a Radiology Information System (RIS), Hospital Information System (HIS) and PACS in order to optimize the utility of PACS for sharing of information, its retrieval, etc. with the help of a common platform.

Database-to-Database Transfer and Interface Engine

2 METHODS OF TRANSMITTING DATA BETWEEN INFORMATION SYSTEMS

New cards
New cards

Database-to-Database Transfer

 Allows 2 or more networked information systems to share a subset of data by storing them in a common local area  Most often used to share information between the HIS and the RIS

New cards
New cards

Interface Engine

 Provides a single interface and language to access distributed data in networked heterogeneous information systems

New cards
New cards

NECESSITY OF INTERFACING

  1. Avoidance of mistyped data entry

  2. Development of compatible data bases

  3. Development of more automated, more intelligent PACS

New cards

BENEFITS OF INTERFACING

  1. Prevents repetitive data entry

  2. Sharing of Information

  3. Reduction in workload

Trigger Mechanism Between Two Databases or Query Protocol

THE RIS-PACS INTERFACE CAN BE IMPLEMENTED BY EITHER:

New cards
New cards

Level 1-4

Application Level of the interface software waits for the occurrence of one of these events & triggers the corresponding data to be sent.

New cards
New cards

Level 5-7

Communication Level transfers the HL7 file to the PACS server

New cards
New cards

TRIGGER MECHANISM BETWEEN TWO DATABASES

The PACS is notified of the following events in HL7 format when they occur in the RIS: ADT, order received, patient arrived, examination cancelled, procedure completed, & report approved.

New cards
New cards

QUERY PROTOCOL

 Allows access to information from the HIS, RIS and PACS databases by using an application-layer software on top of these heterogeneous database systems  From a PACS Workstation, user can retrieve information uniformly from any of these systems & automatically integrate them to the PACS database

New cards
New cards

RECONCILIATION PROFILE

 IHE patient information can be used to combine different data: ADT in HIS, RIS in radiology, and DICOM image management archive in PACS  This integration profile can extend the scheduled workflow profile by providing the means to match images acquired for an unidentified patient’s registration & order history.  Example: Emergency room patient (trauma)
