With increase in work load of hospital, there is an acute need for certain automated tool for hospital management. In early stages hospital management deals with only storing the patient’s information and retrieving it based on some primary key, commonly patient ID. Latter it is integrated with sensor based patient monitoring system where some sensors are installed on patient side and data is transfer to certain system. In addition to that there is facility of sending the reports to patient via mail. But still there is wide scope for betterment in existing hospital management system. Internet and web services plays vital role in daily routine. If health services are also available online then it will be really convenient for the common people. Keeping this requirement in mind, we have developed an advanced hospital management system; called “HOPE” which is empowered with the web based assistance …show more content…
First of all one has to select the mode of appointment either personal or online. Then one needs to select appropriate section like psychologist, cardiologist, gynecologist etc. Each section can have more than one specialist doctor. Here facility to choose the particular doctor among them is offered. Then patient has to provide the suitable appointment date. Schedule of particular doctor on particular date is checked and accordingly appointment is given. There is a provision to provide an expected time of meeting. If doctor’s schedule is packed then message is a prompted on screen accordingly. In this case patient, patient can check the availability of another doctor on same date or same doctor on another date
To determine if the hospital can perform this many operations, one should compute the equipment (operating room) and labor (surgeon) requirements per day and compare it to the current equipment and labor capacity per day.
The board of trustees or directors, the community (if they have a say on the matter), and the employee union might influence the decision. If the financial difficulty is really severe, HSO might consider merging with another hospital in the area, if the other hospital is also struggling financially with their pediatrics unit or if the other hospital is ‘larger’. In both cases, the result will be more efficiency. This will be advantageous to my hospital and my hospital’s patients, for the bigger hospital might be better-equipped technologically. The merge itself does not need to be absolute; it does not require a complete consolidation of the other units/services. For example, it might be planned that the pediatrics services will be provided
The situation further suggests that such healthcare institution needs excellent information system, medical technology, clear objectives that ensure the delivery of superior healthcare services, and obviously need comprehensive healthcare service.
There are a variety of health settings that provide patient health services. With the use of health services there has to be some type of health information exchange or system that will enable users to exchange data. Today there are networks that do this. Some of these networks are Community health information network (CHIN), Regional health information network (RHINO), National Health Information Network (NHIN) and Health Information technology for economic and clinical health act (HITECH Act). The purpose of this paper is to identify these networks, discuss the relationship among each other and lastly, explain their relationship to formation of a patient-centered management system and electronic health records (EHRs).
Health care information system (HCIS) is an arrangement of information (data), processes, people, and information technology that interact to collect, process, store, and provide as output the information needed to support the health care organization (Wager, Lee, Glaser, 2013, p. 105). Having ready access to timely, complete, accurate, legible, and relevant information is critical to health care organizations, providers, and the patients they serve (Wagerm Lee, & Glaser, 2013). In the health care industry, the quality of care is one of the most important objectives for most health care organizations. The growing developments in health information technology have a great impact on the delivery of health care and have changed the systems used to record and share information. It has the potential to improve the quality of care if it is appropriately used. Health care organizations routinely apply computers and other technologies to record and transfer health information such as diagnoses, prescriptions, and insurance information.
...ng stressed. Option 1 may lead to excessive pressure on doctors, and hence poor performance in service delivery. In medical field, it is necessary to allow the doctors to perform accurately on a consistent basis.
The role of a Healthcare Administrator is very important whether it be an administrator in a clinical setting, hospital setting, or long term care setting. All of these settings require the same main skills in the position of the person fulfilling the role as Healthcare Administrator; those skills are communication and relationship management, leadership, professionalism, knowledge of the healthcare environment, and business skills. If any one of these skills is missing, this person could be doing a disservice to the organization they are a member of.
To comprehend our current health care system, it is important to understand the history and how health care has evolved in the United States. The healthcare system we have now didn't always exist. Believe it or not, before 1920, most people would not of known what health care coverage meant! So how did the United States turn into one of the few developed countries lacking nationwide healthcare? Understanding U.S. healthcare history will help you understand the dynamics that built the system that, we struggle with today. Furthermore, I will make conclusions on the current problems we are facing.
Health information management involves the practice of maintaining and taking care of health records in hospitals, health insurance companies and other health institutions, by the use of electronic means (McWay 176). Storage of medical information is carried out by health information management and HIT professionals using information systems that suit the needs of these institutions. This paper answers four major questions concerning health information systems.
The cost of Medical equipment plays a significant role in the delivery of health care. The clinical engineering at Victoria Hospital is an important branch of the hospital team management that are working to strategies ways to improve quality of service and lower cost repairs of equipments. The team members from Biomedical and maintenance engineering’s roles are to ensure utilization of quality equipments such as endoscope and minimize length of repair time. All these issues are a major influence in the hospital’s project cost. For example, Victory hospital, which is located in Canada, is in the process of evaluating different options to decrease cost of its endoscope repair. This equipment is use in the endoscopy department for gastroenterological and surgical procedures. In 1993, 2,500 cases where approximately performed and extensive maintenance of the equipment where needed before and after each of those cases. Despite the appropriate care of the scope, repair requirement where still needed. The total cost of repair that year was $60,000 and the repair services where done by an original equipment manufacturers in Ontario.
Office hours for both Monday and Tuesday are 10:00AM until 10:00PM. Although these days are not as demanding as the later days of the week the urgent care center must have physicians available to see patients. Having more of the budget available for staff and physicians working those days seems to be the best possibility for meeting the

Hospitals play an important role in the health care system (Hospitals, n.d.). They are health care institutions that have an organized medical and other professional staff, and inpatient facilities, and deliver medical, nursing and related services 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Hospitals offer a varying range of acute, convalescent and terminal care using diagnostic and curative services in response to acute and chronic conditions arising from diseases as well as injuries and genetic anomalies. In doing so they generate essential information for research, education and management. Traditionally oriented on individual care, hospitals are increasingly forging closer links with other parts of the health sector and communities in an effort
