The document outlines the benefits of a hospital management system (HMS), including improved efficiency, error reduction, better communication, cost savings, and enhanced patient satisfaction. It provides a workflow example from patient registration to treatment outcomes, highlighting key processes involved. Additionally, it discusses technologies used in HMS, such as cloud computing, database management systems, mobile applications, and security features.

1. Benefits of an HMS
•Improved Efficiency: Automates time-consuming tasks, leading to faster
decision-making.
•Error Reduction: Minimizes manual entry errors and improves data accuracy.
•Better Communication: Seamless integration between departments
(e.g., doctors, nurses, pharmacy, billing).
•Cost Savings: Reduced administrative costs and improved financial management.
•Patient Satisfaction: Faster processing of information, improved care quality,
and reduced waiting times.

2. HMS Workflow Example
PATIENT FLOW IN THE HOSPITAL:PATIENT REGISTRATION: INPUT PERSONAL INFORMATION.
APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING: CHOOSE A DOCTOR OR DEPARTMENT.
MEDICAL CONSULTATION: DOCTOR INPUTS MEDICAL HISTORY, DIAGNOSIS, AND TREATMENT.
LAB TESTS/DIAGNOSTICS: ORDERS TESTS IF NECESSARY.
BILLING: PATIENT PAYS AFTER CONSULTATION AND TESTS.
TREATMENT: PRESCRIPTION, MEDICATION, AND FOLLOW-UP SCHEDULING.

3. HMS Technologies Used
•Cloud Computing: For remote access and data storage.
•Database Management Systems (DBMS): SQL, NoSQL for secure patient and hospital data.
•Mobile Applications: Mobile interfaces for patients and staff to interact with the system.
•Security Features: Data encryption, multi-factor authentication, and backup systems to ensure privacy.
