ABSTRACT

Hospital management System (HMS) is vital to decision making and plays acrucial role in the success of the organization. Computerization of the various

departments, documentation has resulted in efficient data management and

information dissemination for the users. Managers, Clinicians and other

healthcare workers can now access the information without delay or errors.

Present study reveals, the existing system requires up gradation to meet the

requirements of the managers and the clinicians. Participants feel HMS assists in

decision making, and medical audit. Participants felt that the existing HMS

resulted in longer time for OPD consultation and delay in investigation results.

Majority of the participants feel that HMS helps in education and research.

INTRODUCTION TO HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT

SYSTEM (HMS)

Designed to improve the quality and management of clinical care and hospital health

care management in the areas of clinical process analysis and activity-based costing.

HMS enables you to develop organization and improve its effectiveness and quality of

work. Managing the key processes efficiently is critical to the success of the hospital.

HMS consist process management tool elements: modeling, analysis, and simulation.

Documentation though an important part of a Hospital, is a non-productive exercise for

the intellectual human being, whose ability lies in core areas of excellence. Hence a

systematic approach to the way documents are managed, can transform your Hospital

resources to its highest utility and advantage.

HMS Benefits:

Enables hospitals and doctors to better serve their patients.

Improved quality of patient care.

Increased nursing productivity reducing the time spent by staff filling out

forms, freeing resources for more critical tasks.

Better quality of care, procedures and service to Patients.

Control over the costs incurred by diagnosis-related groups.

Why computers in health care systems?

There is hardly any area today, which has not been influenced by computers, and health

care systems are no exception. Health sector, in fact is field where computers could make

maximum social impact. There are human beings today who are half computers and half

human e.g. patients with Pacemaker, Computerized precision made artificial heart,

computerized hearing aid, and computerized dialysis machine. The present day hospitals

are able to understand the complex processes and manage materials, money and

manpower effectively and efficiently only due to computers.

We lag behind by decades, as USA even in 1972, 81% of the hospitals had one or morein-house computers. Today it is a norm in USA to allocate 10% of the hospitals budget

for computerization. I wonder if any hospitals management in India would do so?

Doctor's Dilemmas

Nothing on this earth is more complex than the human body the processors used in the

most powerful super computers doesnt come close to matching any of the human organs.

Doctors can understand the human body, but are afraid/hesitant in using computers. This

hesitancy/phobia/fear/lack of awareness is the main hurdle in the utilization of computers

in health.

The awareness amongst health professionals has certainly increased over the past few

years but still many continue to shy away from computes - some are hesitant, some are

unsure about their utility and quite a few procure it for a status symbol. Applications in

health

Wide applications of computers in health care include hospital management, patient care,

billing, counseling, appointments, curriculum planning, research, study, communication

etc. Most of the diagnostic instrument e.g. X-rays, CAT scan, Blood gas analyzers,

ultrasound, automatic analyzers are based on computers, and have made the monitoring

of patients and interpretation of diagnostic tests easy. It is not uncommon to see qualified

professionals being utilized in clerical tasks for maintenance of records etc. at the cost of

patient care. Computers could help solve some of the problems like:

1. Relieving physicians from routine documentation and other clerical functions.

2. Cutting down on the paper work; sparing more time for patient care, reducing

errors and increasing accuracy in transmission and storage of data.

3. Establishment of consistent standards and continuous monitoring or transactions

4. Easy and direct access to various information regarding patient through remotely

located terminals.

Local Area Networking (LAN)

Has made Hospitals Management System easy, fast, accurate and comfortable. The

patient's data, x-rays, sonograms, CT Scans and other investigation reports can be

brought to the terminals in the operations theatres, patients' bed, the consulting room or

the desk of administrators, just at the press of a button.

In the hospitals and medical related organization the computers can be utilized through

LAN for

a. Communication of Medical Information

b. Assistance in diagnosis

c. Assistance in evaluating prognosis

d. Patients Profile

e. Administrative Support

f. Medical research

g. Legal requirements

h. Linkage with other specialized computers

i. Inventory management

j. Cost control, billing

k. Maintaining medical records

l. Patient Counseling

m. Medical Literature Archival

n. Image archival and processing

As 75% of the activity of hospitals is concerned with the processing of information.

Computers can help improve the efficiency of this information processing that too at low

cost.

Statement of the Problem:

A study on Computerization of Departments of a tertiary care teaching hospital with

special reference to the Hospital Management System.

Objectives:

1. To study the existing Hospital Management System.

2. To identify the shortcomings, if any, in the existing Hospital management System.

3. To suggest the necessary steps to improve the existing Hospital Management System.

Methodology:

The study was conducted in 1050 bedded tertiary care teaching hospital. The Whole

Departments of the hospital was studied for assessing the Hospital Management System.

Descriptive research approach as adopted for this study. Descriptive statistics have been

used to find out the deficiencies, if any, in the existing Hospital Management System.

The target population consisted of managers, doctors and patients in the hospital. The

data were collected from a sample of 50, consisting of 5 managerial heads, 5doctors and

20 patients,10 administrative staff selected by the disproportionate stratified sampling

technique. The inclusive criteria for selecting the sample, were the managers who

involved in decision making process, doctors with experience of more than one year, andthe computer literate patients, willing to participate in the study.

The tool used to collect the data was a structured, closed ended questionnaire. The

questionnaire was constructed with emphasis on the content, clarity and simple language.

The scoring has been given according to the nature of the questions.

Observation & Discussion:

It was observed that the complete Hospital management system has been not utilized.

Having so many resources the hospital people are following the same old technique of

manual writing of records.

The staff who are using the computers to do their daily work are not well trained which

is causing delay in time.

The storage of the manual records is a big problem the data which is written in them

cannot be accessed easily.

The staff is willing to do their work with the use of computers , which will save their

time and chance of doing mistakes is minimal which is very high in case of manual work.

The department should be provided with the computers and the essential software

required to their work and necessary training should be provided.

The staff who are using the present software Aristotle Medics are well satisfied with the

package what they are using, because they got habituated to their work and they doesnt

want any change.

Goals of proposed system

1. Planned approach towards working: - The working in the organization will be well

planned and organized. The data will be stored properly in data stores, which will help

in retrieval of information as well as its storage.

2. Accuracy: - The level of accuracy in the will be higher. All operation would be done

correctly and it ensures that whatever information incoming from the center is accurate.

3. Reliability: - The reliability will be high due to the above stated reasons. The reason for

the increased reliability of the system is that now there would be proper storage of

information.

4. No Redundancy: - the utmost care would be that no information is repeated anywhere, in

storage or otherwise. This would assure economic use of storage space and consistency

in the data stored.

5. Immediate retrieval of information: - The main objective is to provide for a quick and

efficient retrieval of information. Any type of information would be available whenever

the user requires.

6. Easy to Operate: - The system should be easy to operate and should be such that it can be

developed within a short period of time and fit in the limited budget of the user.

Conclusion

THE PRESENT SCENARIO IN INDIA IS THAT MOST OF THE HOSPITALS ARE

PARTIALLY COMPUTERIZED. THIS SYSTEM EXISTS IN SOME HEALTH CARE

FACILITIES, WHERE ENTRIES ARE MADE BY DIFFERENT HEALTH CARE

PROVIDERS, SUCH AS PHYSICIANS, NURSES AND THERAPISTS, INTO THE

COMPUTER IN DIFFERENT NODES IN A LOCAL AREA NETWORK. THE

SURVEY CONDUCTED IN THE HOSPITAL REVEALS THE IMPORTANCE OF

INFORMATION NETWORKING BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENTS. MAJORITY OF

THE BENEFICIARIES OF HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, ARE AWARE

ABOUT THE ADVANTAGES OF COMPUTERISATION IN THE HMS IN

PROVIDING BETTER HEALTH CARE. ALL OF THEM AGREE THAT ONLY IN

AN EFFICIENT SYSTEM THE INFORMATION CAN BE READILY AVAILABLE.
