Hospital Information Systems (HIS) and Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
What is health information system?
HIS and Electronic Medical Records2
It is a system for the collection/processing of data from various sources, and using the information for policy making and management of health services. It could be paper-based or electronic.
It is a discipline at the intersection of information science, computer science, and health care.
Systematic Storage and Retrieval of Medical Records
What Is A Medical Record?
HIS and Electronic Medical Records3
A record or documentation of a patient’s medical history, examination, and treatments.
What Is A Medical Record?
HIS and Electronic Medical Records4
Systematic documentation of a single patient's medical history and care across time within one particular health care provider.
The medical record includesvariety of types of "notes" entered by Physicians, recording observations and administration of drugs and
therapies, Laboratory test results, reportsdemographics, medical history, medication and allergies, immunization status, radiology images, vital signs, intake, output, observations
Why do we need a Medical record?
HIS and Electronic Medical Records5
In other words, why do we need a documentation of a patient’s medical care?
Potential Uses of Medical Records
HIS and Electronic Medical Records6
Continuity of providing care Note important information for later use Especially important in chronic diseases (e.g. hypertension,
diabetes) or in follow-up (e.g. after surgery)Patient safety
Preventing something bad because of lack of information Such as drug allergies, list of current medications, “problem
list”
Hospital Functions
HIS and Electronic Medical Records7
Potential Uses of Medical Records
HIS and Electronic Medical Records8
Communications between providers
Referral to specialists or other physicians
Consulting among physicians
Communications between physicians and nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, etc.
Transfer from a hospital to another
Potential Uses of Medical Records
HIS and Electronic Medical Records9
Medico-legal purposes e.g. Court evidence
against malpractice What was done or
provided to the patient? Why? By whom? When?
Was the care provided up to the professional standard?
Potential Uses of Medical Records
HIS and Electronic Medical Records10
Clinical research Find ways to improve
health care through new knowledge
Potential Uses of Medical Records
HIS and Electronic Medical Records11
Claims and reimbursements What services were provided to the patientHow (and how much) will the hospitals/doctors be paid? Audit of medical records by “payers”
Patient’s uses Health insurance claims Self-education & self-care
What is an Electronic Medical Record (EMR)?
HIS and Electronic Medical Records12
Electronic medical records contain the same information as your paper record but in an electronic form. This information is accessible to your health care providers through computers located throughout the Hospital.
Electronic documentation of patient care and to improve the process of patient care through better documentation
Advantages of EMR
HIS and Electronic Medical Records13
Physicians and nurses have more time to spend with patients. Improved legibility, accuracy and completeness. With an EMR there is less potential for medical errors as well as
improved quality and safety in patient care. Allergies and adverse drug reactions are prominently displayed Reminders are activated when certain health maintenance tests
and/or procedures are dueYour prescriptions are electronically ordered directly to your
pharmacyEMR permits more than one user to access your record at the
same time.
Why We Need IT tools in Healthcare ?
HIS and Electronic Medical Records14
Why We Need IT tools in Healthcare ?
HIS and Electronic Medical Records15
Simplification of administrative processes such as Physician Order Entry, eMAR
Creation and maintenance of electronic health records (EHR)Reduction in data gathering and processing costs
Standardization of health data, coding, reporting and transmission of data
Communication among key stakeholders – patients, physicians, nurses, administrators.
Health care is information-rich
HIS and Electronic Medical Records16
Why We Need Health IT
HIS and Electronic Medical Records17
Health care is very complex
Quality of care depends on timely availability & quality of information
Clinical knowledge body is too large
Short time during a visit
Benefits of Going Electronic (EMR)
HIS and Electronic Medical Records18
Ubiquitous availability (anytime, anywhere, everyone who is authorized)
Multiple concurrent usesAbility to control & enforce
access securityStructured data entry possibleData presentation that is
easier to understand (e.g. graphs)
No handwriting!!!!!

Admission-Discharge-Transfer (ADT)
HIS and Electronic Medical Records22
Supports Admission, Discharge & Transfer of patients (“patient management”)
Provides status/location of admitted patientsUsed in assessing bed occupancy Linked to billing, claims & reimbursements
Appointment Scheduling
• Records appointments of patients
• Pre-specified number of open slots
• Ability to postpone/cancel appointments
• Displays list of patients with appointments in a specific date
HIS and Electronic Medical Records 23
Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)
• Physician directly orders online– medication – Lab– diagnostic– imaging
• Nurse & pharmacy process orders accordingly
HIS and Electronic Medical Records 24
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs)
HIS and Electronic Medical Records25
The real place where most of the values of health IT can be achieved Is an application that analyzes data to help healthcare providers make
clinical decisions.Expert systems
Based on artificial intelligence, machine learning, rules, or statistics differential diagnoses treatment options
Alerts & reminders Based on specified conditions
drug-allergy checks, drug-drug interaction checks, drug-lab interaction checks, drug-formulary checks, reminders for preventive services or certain actions (e.g. smoking cessation)
Evidence-based knowledge sources e.g. drug database, literature
Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs)
HIS and Electronic Medical Records26
Four key functions of electronic clinical decision support systems are outlined
Administrative: Supporting clinical coding and documentation, authorization of procedures, and referrals.
Managing clinical complexity and details: Keeping patients on research and chemotherapy protocols; tracking orders, referrals follow-up, and preventive care.
Cost control: Monitoring medication orders; avoiding duplicate or unnecessary tests.
Decision support: Supporting clinical diagnosis and treatment plan processes; and promoting use of best practices, condition-specific guidelines, and population-based management.
