This document discusses hospital information systems and nursing informatics. It begins by defining the objectives of the presentation which are to define management information systems, discuss different information systems used in hospitals, discuss nursing informatics and its implications, discuss obstacles to nursing information systems, and the role of nursing managers in hospital information systems. It then defines hospital management systems and hospital information systems. It describes the types of data stored in hospital information systems and types of systems including nursing information systems, clinical information systems, pharmacy information systems, financial information systems, and laboratory information systems. The document discusses nursing informatics and its implications for patient charting, staff scheduling, clinical data integration, and decision support. It also discusses the contributions of information technology to the efficiency

objectives

3. 
The hospital management
system (HMS) is a computer-
based system that establishes an
orderly and systematic method
of managing hospital and clinic patient
records more effectively and efficiently
for both out-patients and in-patients.

4. 
Hospital information systems refer to
any system that captures, stores,
manages or
transmits information related to
the health of individuals or the
activities of organizations that work
within the health sector.
Hospital information
system

5. 
It includes many diverse type of data, such as:
storing of patient information
patient billing
staffing & scheduling
pharmacy ordering
prescription handling
clinical laboratory
orders management

ANA (1994) has defined nursing
informatics as the development and
evaluation of applications, tools,
processes and structures which assist
nurses with the management of data in
taking care of patients or supporting
the practice of nursing.
Nursing Informatics

9. 
Patient Charting:
Patient's vital signs, admission, nursing
assessments, care plan and nursing
notes can be entered into the system.
These are stored in central repository
and can be retrieved when needed.
implication of NIS

10. 
Staff Scheduling:
Nurse can self schedule their shifts using
scheduling rules provided in shift modules. It
can later be confirmed or changed by a
scheduling coordinator/manager. Shift
modules are created to handle absences,
overtime etc.
implication of
NIS (cont.)

11. 
Clinical Data Integration:
Clinical information from all other
departments/disciplines can be
retrieved, viewed and analyzed by
nursing staff. Then, it can be put into
the patient's care plan.
implication of
NIS (cont.)

12. 
Decision Support:
Provide prompts and reminders, along
with guides to disease linkages
between signs & symptoms and related
factors. Online access to medical
resources are also available.

Information technologies allow us to access information
effectively and efficiently
Technology is transforming healthcare delivery.
Advances in diagnostic technologies enable
practitioners to contribute to clinical decision making
from a distance. For example, ultrasound scans can be
transmitted over telephone lines for specialist opinion.
In acute situations, paramedics can call on medical
assistance using web technologies, while patients with
long term conditions can use SMS text messaging to
confirm blood results.
Contribution of information technology
to efficiency and effectiveness of nursing

Role of nurse manager
in nursing informatics

16. 
Collect clinical data
Record data
Interpret data to produce information
Use information to produce knowledge
Share knowledge with those who need
it.
Role of nurse manager
in nursing informatics

17. Different obstacles with
NIS.

18. 
 Some nurses may be more comfortable with paper
documentation than computers.
 It takes time to become a nurse informatics
 Lack of integration in computer systems and software
 Some nurse informatics, followed by inadequate financial
resources
 Other issues were lack of administrative support, staffing
issues, user acceptance, problems with the organization’s
strategic plan, software design, infrastructure and time
management. In some cases, the technology simply
wasn’t available.
