Study Notes
Health Information Systems (HIS)
- HIS is the application of technology and systems in a healthcare setting to capture, store, manage, and transmit health-related information.
Role and Function of Health Information Systems
- HIS improves the delivery of health services by:
- Providing easier access to files
- Ensuring better control
- Allowing for easier updates
- Improving communications
Components of Health Information Systems
- Health System Resources:
- Framework on legislation, regulation, and planning
- Resources required for the system to be fully functional (personnel, logistics, financing, IT, and coordinating mechanism)
- Indicators:
- Basis of the HIS plan and strategy
- Includes determinants of health, health system inputs, outputs, and outcomes, and health status
- Data Sources:
- 2 main categories: population-based approaches (civil registration, census, and population surveys) and institution-based data (individual records, resource records, and service records)
- Data Management:
- Refers to the handling of data, from collection and storage to flow and quality assurance, processing, compilation, and data analysis
- Information Products:
- Data transformed into useful information for decision-making
- Dissemination and Use:
- HIS enhances the value of health information by making it readily available to policymakers and data users
Data Sources
- Demographic Data:
- Facts about the patient, including age, birthdate, gender, marital status, address of residence, race, and ethnic origin
- Information on educational background, employment, and immediate family members to be contacted during emergency
- Administrative Data:
- Includes information on services, such as diagnostic tests, outpatient procedures, kind of practitioner, physician's specialty, nature of institution, and charges and payments
- Other data sources:
