Hospital Information Systems: Enhancing Patient Care through Technology



ABSTRACT

Healthcare has transformed due to the integration of Hospital Information Systems (HIS), which has improved patient care through technological improvements. HIS includes telemedicine, Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS), Electronic Health Records (EHRs), and other tools that help make data-driven choices easier to make and increase overall efficiency in healthcare. For measuring, the research used SPSS software and generated results including descriptive statistics, regression analysis, the chi-square and the control chart between them.  Electronic Health Records (EHRs) guarantee prompt access to precise patient data, minimizing mistakes and encouraging cooperation among medical specialists. By facilitating well-informed decision-making, CDSS improves diagnostic and treatment strategies. Telemedicine allows for remote monitoring and increases access to healthcare, especially for patients who live far away or have long-term medical concerns. Appointment scheduling and billing are two administrative chores that HIS streamlines, improving resource allocation and financial transparency. Healthcare trends may be understood using HIS data analytics, promoting ongoing quality improvement. The overall result found a direct and significant link between hospital information systems and enhancing patient care through technology.  By guaranteeing smooth data transfer between various systems, interoperability supports an integrated and comprehensive approach to patient care. HIS improves patient engagement with tools like patient portals that allow for active involvement in hospital administration. HIS keeps changing as the healthcare industry does, and it is essential to providing accessible, effective, and individualized treatment. HIS is still being developed, which shows a dedication to using technology to improve healthcare and eventually help people all across the world.
