Patient Record System (Electronic Medical Records).pptxmamtabisht10
Patient record systems like electronic medical records (EMRs) and electronic health records (EHRs) digitize patients' clinical information to improve care. EMRs contain data from within a single facility like a doctor's office, while EHRs aggregate data across settings. EHRs offer broader access to records for authorized providers and support care coordination but require consistent standards and protections for privacy and security.
The document discusses electronic medical records (EMRs), defining them as digital versions of patients' paper medical charts that contain their medical history, diagnoses, treatments, test results, and other clinical data. EMRs allow authorized medical providers to securely access a patient's comprehensive medical record electronically. The document also outlines the key components, functions, and benefits of EMR systems, such as automating workflows, integrating with other healthcare IT systems, and facilitating data sharing across providers to support comprehensive patient care.
The document outlines the various modules that make up a Hospital Information System (HIS). It describes 9 core modules: Patient Management System, Billing and Accounts, Medical Records, Clinical Information, Laboratory Information, Blood Bank, Pharmacy, Radiology, and Forensic/Mortuary systems. Each module manages a different clinical or administrative function like registration, billing, lab tests, prescribing, and autopsy records. The HIS integrates these modules to digitally manage patient data and workflows across all hospital departments.
The document provides information on medical records including what they are, their components, functions of the medical record department, and processes for receiving, retrieving, completing, and releasing medical records. Some key points:

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
Electronic medical records (EMR) are software tools that contain a patient's health information and can be accessed by healthcare professionals from any location within a healthcare system. EMRs replace paper medical records by providing a searchable database for patient data, a means of communication between providers, and tools that can improve documentation, order management, and quality of patient care. While EMRs offer benefits like increased accessibility and flexibility, their adoption faces challenges such as potential privacy violations, inadequate staff training on complex systems, and technology issues. Overall, EMRs are seen as important for the future of healthcare in providing effective clinical documentation, services, and patient outcomes.
Hospital pharmacy involves the supervision of medications by a pharmacist. It forecasts demand, selects suppliers, manufactures sterile and non-sterile preparations, conducts quality control, dispenses medications to patients and outpatients, provides drug information, studies drug utilization, implements pharmacy committee recommendations, counsels patients, and maintains liaison between medical, nursing and patient staff. It is responsible for staffing, storage, distribution of drugs, and addressing problems while minimizing carrying costs of inventory.
The document discusses the hospital information system (HIS) used by Fortis hospitals. It provides details on the key modules of the HIS, including housekeeping, nursing, pharmacy, and patient registration. It identifies gaps in the current system and provides recommendations, such as integrating radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to track assets and patients to improve efficiency. The use of tablets connected to the HIS is also recommended to enable electronic medical records at the point of care.
Medical Records is a foremost important in the healthcare accreditation bodies like JCI,NABH are very adherent about its documentation,retention and confidentiality.
Communication systems in hospitals use various methods to exchange information between patients, staff, and machines. Verbal communication informs patients of medical procedures while non-verbal cues like eye contact show care. Formal policies are rigid while informal chatting allows interaction. Technology aids communication for those unable to speak. Signs and symbols help all understand settings. Telephone and pager systems connect staff. Telemedicine allows remote consultations. Public address and CCTV boost security. Color codes standardize emergency responses. Posters further educate.

Historical Background (Nicholas E. Davis Awards of Excellence Program)
Practice Application (CCIS, ACIS, CHIS)
Health institution requires quality data and information management to function effectively and efficiently. It is an understatement to say that many organizations, institutions or government agencies have become critically dependent on the use of database system for their successes especially in the hospital. This work aims at developing an improved hospital information management system using a function-based approach. An efficient HIMS that can be used to manage patient information and its administration is presented in this work. This is with the goal of eradicating the problem of improper data keeping, inaccurate reports, wastage of time in storing, processing and retrieving information faced by the existing hospital information system in order to improve the overall efficiency of the health institution. The system was developed with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), and My Structured Query Language (MySQL). The new system was tested using data collected from Renewal Clinic, Ibadan, Nigeria was used as case study were the data for the research was collected and the system was tested. The system provides a vital platform of information storage and retrieval in hospitals.

divided into several smaller and simpler submodules or
segments based on the task performed by each module. Then,
each submodule is further subdivided into several submodules
of next lower level. This process of dividing each module into

INPUT DESIGN
In an information system, input is the raw data that is processed to produce
output. During the input design, the developers must consider the input
devices such as PC, MICR, OMR, etc.
Therefore, the quality of system input determines the quality of system output.
Well-designed input forms and screens have following properties:
• It should serve specific purpose effectively such as storing, recording, and
retrieving the information.
• It ensures proper completion with accuracy.
• It should be easy to fill and straightforward.
• It should focus on user’s attention, consistency, and simplicity.
• All these objectives are obtained using the knowledge of basic design
principles regarding:
What are the inputs needed for the system?
How end users respond to different elements of forms and screens.

Flat Forms
It is a single copy form prepared manually or by a machine and printed on a paper. For additional

Unit Set/Snap out Forms
These are papers with one-time carbons interleaved into unit sets for either handwritten or
machine use.
Carbons may be either blue or black, standard grade medium intensity. Generally, blue carbons are
best for handwritten forms while black carbons are best for machine use.
Continuous strip/Fanfold Forms
These are multiple unit forms joined in a continuous strip with perforations between each pair of
forms.
It is a less expensive method for large volume use.
No Carbon Required (NCR) Paper
They use carbonless papers which have two chemical coatings (capsules), one on the face and the
other on the back of a sheet of paper.
When pressure is applied, the two capsules interact and create an image. 110
