Hospital Information System

         A hospital information system (HIS), variously also called clinical information system (CIS) is a comprehensive, integrated information system designed to manage the administrative, financial and clinical aspects of a hospital. This encompasses paper-based information processing as well as data processing machines.

HIS covers all aspects of hospital management and clinical application, providing a complete tool for the hospital management and clinical application, which frees the medical staff from the heavy work load and improves the work efficiency of the hospital. 



       HIS focuses on both hospital management information and clinical information.It is also a use-friendly interface, easy for integration with the products of the third party; high flexibility; provides second development platform; realizes information sharing, data sharing, and seamless connection among every subsystems, and the result can be acquired immediately after the examination, and provides interface for connecting to the Hospital Insurance System, Community Medical System and Remote Hospital System.
        


        No hospital information system can be regarded as a success unless it has the full participation of its users. Thus human and social factors would have to be considered in its design, more often than not, they can be easily addressed by providing adequate training and education about the system.
