Since some of my relatives are working in the hospital, and I’ve known something inside of it, I would like to talk about the information system implementation in the Children Hospital in Los Angeles.
A hospital information system (HIS), variously also called clinical information system (CIS) is a comprehensive, integrated information system designed to manage the administrative, financial and clinical aspects of a hospital. This encompasses paper-based information processing as well as data processing machines. Here is the things I grabbed from wiki. Basically it explained pretty much about what a information system plays inside of a hospital.
The most important purpose for a hospital using an information system is the access and share the patient information quickly and accurately to ensure surgeons and other healthcare employees could work more efficiently and make better decisions. Because the clinic stored and retrieved data manually, it encountered inaccuracies and time lapses when obtaining vital information. Since then, after they discuss and analysis about the whole old system, they decided to implement a Medical Information Management System, developed by a Microsoft group, together with a team of doctors, nurses, and biochemists. The system is developed entirely on Microsoft technologies, using Microsoft Visual Studio. Net, Microsoft. Net framework and Microsoft SQL server 2000. The solution has improved the accuracy of transcriptions and reduced administration by doctors at least by 40 percent. In addition, patient data is consolidated and instantly available across a range of devices.
Next I will talk about the feasibility of the whole HIS system from 3 major categories, technical, economy, and organization. Fir...

They prepared the system with a disaster protection. Whenever there’s any damage of the database, the system will back up data immediately to a remote server. And also every single day, the system back up the data. The Microsoft group also builds a very good access system to verify the people who want to log in every time.
With the new MIMS, CHLA improved their patient care. And they can have Data exchange of patient details between all medical services. And it’s flexible to specific needs and support services.

Over the years, healthcare facilities have acted like a storehouse for patients’ medical records, uninterested and unable to distribute clinical data to anyone beyond their organization. The EHR, started in the 1960s under the name of "computerized-based patient record" (CPR), became known as "electronic medical records" (EMR) in the 1990s and today it is known as electronic health record (EHR).The target of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is to incorporate the EHR and use it in a "meaningful" way to improve the quality, efficiency, and safety of patient care delivery; to engage patients in their personal health record; and to improve care coordination. Equally important, the "meaningful use" of the EHR system intends to build a bridge to other systems by creating an interoperability of health information while implementing quality care throughout. However, this interoperability can only be accomplished when the receiving system and the user fully understand how to apply these exchanges.
Our solutions enable seamless integration across various provider systems such as EMRs, Laboratory Information, Radiology Information System, Pharmacy Information Systems, and more. The robust security features help ensure privacy and security of the Protected Health Information (PHI) of the
In the mid-1960s President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law Medicare and Medicaid, two federally funded programs that guaranteed health insurance benefits to the elderly and the poor (Shortliffe et al., 2006). The focus of the health insurance benefits was cost-based reimbursement. With the increase in patient visits hospitals realized the need for information systems in order to automate the billing process. One of the challenges of these information systems was the cost. Due to the cost of these large, mainframe, financially-focused information systems, they were mainly found in large hospitals that were affiliated with academic medical centers (Shortliffe et al., 2006). Smaller hospitals just could not afford these information systems.
Health information management involves the practice of maintaining and taking care of health records in hospitals, health insurance companies and other health institutions, by the use of electronic means (McWay 176). Storage of medical information is carried out by health information management and HIT professionals using information systems that suit the needs of these institutions. This paper answers four major questions concerning health information systems.
...nce an incident that may not be seen as such by staff working in the same environment but, if the staffs have frequently witness that the same incident occur; they may stop reporting the incident. However, database application system can save charting time which could be utilized to provide care to residents. Administration function like medical records, risk assessments, daily reports and coding requires documentations from the service users` electronic medical record database to enhance the EHR, which link the EHR data with databases containing standardized assessment information from external healthcare systems. If the database is not similar as to what other healthcare systems use, it is impossible to share information from EHR database with other clinical application systems.
The present environments for healthcare organizations contain many forces demanding unprecedented levels of change. These forces include changing demographics, increased customer outlook, increased competition, and strengthen governmental pressure. Meeting these challenges will require healthcare organizations to go through fundamental changes and to continuously inquire about new behavior to produce future value. Healthcare is an information-intensive process. Pressures for management in information technology are increasing as healthcare organizations feature to lower costs, improve quality, and increase access to care. Healthcare organizations have developed better and more complex. Information technology must keep up with the dual effects of organizational complication and continuous progress in medical technology. The literature review will discuss how health care organizations can provide effective care by the intellectual use of information.

Our clinical knowledge is expanding. The researcher has first proposed the concept of electronic health record (EHR) to gather and analyze every clinical outcome. By late 1990s computer-based patient record (CPR) replaced with the term EHR (Wager et al., 2009). The process of implementing EHR occurs over a number of years. An electronic record of health-related information on individual conforms interoperability standards can create, manage and consult with the authorized health professionals (Wager et al., 2009). This information technology system electronically gather and store patient data, and supply that information as needed to the healthcare professionals, as well as a caregiver can also access, edit or input new information; this system function as a decision support tools to the health professionals. Every healthcare organization is increasingly aware of the importance of adopting EHR to improve the patient satisfaction, safety, and lowering the medical costs.

Informatics is known as putting data into information (Hebda & Czar, 2013). This is significant to nursing and health care because healthcare workers use informatics everyday. Through the use of technology, data is taken and transcribed into information in healthcare. I will use software to input a client’s information; I can use it to communicate with other healthcare workers and share needed information. Informatics develops my career as a nurse and helps me advance the maximum effort I can put in as a healthcare worker. Whether its using an electronic blood pressure machine or reading x-rays from a computer, informatics plays a significant role in healthcare. Throughout this paper, informatics will be discussed on how it influences nursing, changes the future of health care, and how I will play a role informatics in the future.
