... Designing a database structure system for management hospital information. Field of research: Information system; database structure; hospital information Section B: Aims This project is going to indicate a new database structure model used to manage information in hospital management with respect to utilizing information and communication technology. It will enhance hospital to retrieve, process and achieve all the information in specific health facilities in a security domain. In fact, the database structure is not really considered as an important aspect in patient informational management in hospital. From the synthesis of the results of current hospital, the management of information within the hospital will include: management of patient information, medical information, laboratory data, diagnostic results, treatments, financial, pharmaceutical, medical equipment and general operations of the hospital. There are numbers of documentation in the database, the problem is illustrated that a hospital database management does not have the same synchronization in all fields. Consequently, it is quite difficult for any information activity in the process. To help resolve this situation, our project will develop a new database structure model that can fit most of the hospitals at all levels and to manage large bodies of information (Malatesh Havanagi, 2012). This will be...

...Information Management Compliance. Felicia Ntow Western Governors University Information Management Compliance The hospital’s plan for information management encompasses the full spectrum of data generated and used by the organization in all various departments from housekeeping, laundry services, imaging, and pharmacy through to nursing. In order to provide cost-effective quality services, information must be accurate and communication of the information should be securely transmitted in a timely manner to the appropriate individuals on a need to know basis. Compliance Status The Nightingale Community Hospital current compliance status is not meeting the standards of the Joint Commission. RC.01.01.01 The hospital has just an admission orders form that does not define the components of a complete medical record. The admission orders form does not contain the unique patient’s identification. It has just the patient name, and two or more people may have the same name. Wrong patient identification may be one of the reasons why there have been errors labeling patient specimens. Although there is a place on the form to identify consults, there is no justification for the consult on the patient’s chief compliant and no admitting diagnoses recorded. The medical record on hand does not contain information needed to justify the patient’s care, treatment and services. For example, there is no reason given for intake/output nor is there route for the intake...

...refers to procedures and policies used by staff in any institution while performing their operational duties in an attempt to provide inside information from electronic sources to outsiders especially for litigation purposes. E-discovery policy and procedure is necessary to comply with legal obligations and mitigate losses resulting from litigation. The intention of this paper is to provide a step by step policy and procedure that would be relevant in responding to an e-discovery request. The first procedure would be accurate patient identification. This process should be conducted by the hospital information management team. In the case of litigation that involves an individual’s medical records, it is paramount to correctly identify the patient in order to obtain the relevant information. Accurate patient identification involves verifying a patient’s identities in the master patient index, medical record number and demographic information (Green and Bowie). The second step would be subpoena receipt and official response. The litigation response team should be responsible for this procedure. Upon receiving the relevant patient’s information, the litigation response team should review the subpoenas in order to determine whether it contains all the required elements, the parties, the intended purpose and it meets the scope of information as per the request. The litigation response team does this by validating the subpoenas that have been served before they are officially accepted...

...files can be lost, damaged, stolen or subjected to natural disasters, electronic medical records circumvent many of these situations with greater safeguards. • Cost-efficiencies through data consolidation: By creating a centralized location for digitized medical records, this system reduces duplication of efforts and documents, and increases the speed of exchanging information. This saves on labor costs as well as enhances operational efficiencies that increases productivity through a greater volume of transactions. DISADVANTAGES • Perceived threat to privacy: Some believe that, instead of protecting privacy, a digital system means that a certain amount of confidentiality is lost and information can be accessed by unauthorized parties.. However, because of HIPAA compliance, medical record document management companies go through great lengths to ensure patient information remains secure and accessible in a legally compliant manner. • Perceived lose of human oversight: With the advent of more technology, some fear systems that are fully automated with no human management or intervention.. Of course, well-trained personnel are involved to oversee and ensure all automated electronic medical record systems are fully functioning at all times. • Perceived lack of standardization: Because electronic medical records are still a relatively new platform , many believe that certain levels of standardization for quality, efficiency and productivity have yet...

...Differences of Hospital Information System (HIS) in Malaysian Public Hospitals. Information technology (IT) has become vital in healthcare sector including public hospitals. As a comparison of public and private health care center, public health care have more patients, and as a result this may also lead to inefficient system implementation. Hence, Hospital Information System (HIS) is hoped to improve the quality of healthcare services. HIS refers to a computer system designed to manage all the hospital’s medical and administrative information. And the function is to enable health professionals to perform their jobs more effectively and efficiently. According Budkin, HIS implementation process is categorized into planning, design, implementation, and operation but his process is different than Houser et al which is divided into three phases, which are preparatory activities for system implementation, certification and acceptance testing, and system implementation. All these researchers have similar opinions on division of HIS implementation. HIS is implemented in 1993, which started under 6th Malaysian Plan (MP) , in Hospital Selayang. Today, only 21 out of 138 public hospitals are implementing the system [2, 53, 54]. Thus, the level of HIS implementation is still low. There are three categories of HIS, which are THIS, IHIS, and BHIS. As mentioned earlier, out of 138 public hospitals, 21 public hospitals are implementing any of these categories of the system [2, 5, 53, 54]...

...Affects of IT on the Healthcare Industry Laboratory Information System (LIS) There has been numerous technological advances in the past decade that have affected the healthcare industry. With the networking and communication systems development, the amount of information exchanged between healthcare professionals has also risen dramatically. IT has had a significant impact on the healthcare delivery system in all areas and it is believed that it will continue to do so into the next century. In this research, I will only discuss the Laboratory Information System (LIS) and also briefly explain the Hospital Information System (HIS), that are being used in the healthcare industry. Laboratory Information System A laboratory information system (LIS), is a type of software that handles receiving, processing and storing information generated by Medical laboratory processes. These systems must interface with instruments/analyzers and other information systems such as hospital information systems (HIS). An LIS is a highly configurable application which is customized to facilitate a wide variety of laboratory workflow models. Deciding on an LIS vendor and installing of an LIS software could take a lab from a few months to a few years, depending on the complexity of the organization. LIS’s are complex software applications. There are as many variations of LIS’s as there types of lab work. Disciplines of laboratory science include many aspects such as hematology...

...Development of Hospital Information Systems: A deeper look at What goes on First, I would like to assessment the history of hospital information systems and how it has changed to the point where analytics is so important. When I have an opportunity to join the industry, which will be hopefully in 2016, I will see just so many of these changes that will occur, and I believe that a data warehouse, along with analytics tools, is a essential module of any CIO’s application portfolio. This might make more sense with some past viewpoints. They need to review the trends in health information systems decade by decade. I’ll list the main influence that was driving healthcare, then the driver for the IT, and finally the resulting health information technology (HIT) innovation: *1960s: The main healthcare drivers in this era were Medicare and Medicaid. The IT drivers were expensive mainframes and storage. Because computers and storage were so large and expensive, hospitals typically shared a mainframe. The principal applications arising in this environment were shared hospital accounting systems. *1970s: One of the main healthcare drivers in this era was the need to do a better job communicating between departments (ADT, order communications, and results review) and the need for discrete departmental systems (e.g., clinical lab, pharmacy). Computers were now small enough to be installed in a single department without environmental controls. As a result, departmental systems boomed. Unfortunately...

...problem between the hospitals and upper management seems to be lack of communication. It seems that Singh and Mrs. Manzoni have not affectively communicated to the hospital administrators what the goals of the company are and what is best for the company. I believe that Mrs. Singh and the hospital administrators value the importance of two different things. Mrs. Singh values the importance of correct data entry into the firm’s management information system. While, the hospital administrators seem to be placing more value on the importance of patient services. In addition, it seems Mrs. Singh does not know what motivates the employees to exert more effort. Economists would view the employees’ actions as the outcomes of maximizing personal utility (Brickley, Smith, & Zimmerman, 2009). During the retreat Mrs. Singh failed to effectively communicate to the administrators the high importance of accurately entering data. She should had stressed how incorrect data could possibly effect the aid that they receive. 2. What information would you want to analyze? I would actually choose to thoroughly analyze the data the management information system is currently asking for. I would also review past reports generated by the system and compare them. It would be highly imperative to insure that the system asked the appropriate questions in order to even produce accurate reports. Mrs. Singh can blame the employees for inputting incorrect information all day. However...

...Axia/HCS 483 | Information System Briefing | November,2011 | Information System Briefing Selecting and acquiring information systems is important to this organization. Information systems are designed based on the organization’s needs, thus simplifying patient needs, departmental, and other information. Information systems should also accommodate other departments as well such as radiology, pharmacy, and other various branches of the hospital. An information system is, of course, an expensive technology but can greatly benefit the hospital. With information systems many systems have to be installed databases, storage, identification, and selection. Once it is up the organization still has to think about an offsite back up station with a firewall. It is to much for an organization or investors to take in, making it imperative that the organization receives the system designed to their needs. Selecting and Acquiring When selecting what is needed for the organization one has to look at many different variables. Does the organization have many branches, do they have different specialties, patients, billing, and other various staff. Communication between these is vital to making the information system work. The information also has to be user friendly and easy to obtain by staff. If any of the information is not easily obtainable it will make the organization run slow in all departments or fragment it. That means that patient information could be lost resulting in duplicate...
