Finally. Evaluation.

And now... the end is near... and so I face...

Evaluation is the last phase in the developing, implementing and upgrading a clinical information system. As its name implies, the CIS is now evaluated in here, whether it passed the specifications and has answered the things discussed in the earlier phases, specially in the first phase. Essentially, this is where the first and last phases meets. Read more...

Training Time

Training may be seemingly easy, but it is one of the most crucial phase 

in developing, implementing and upgrading a CIS.

Training, the sixth phase in developing, implementing and upgrading clinical information systems, includes the databases, processing logic, and outputs of the system’s features and functions. Read more...

Testing

So what's common with World of Warcraft and Clinical Information Systems?

A lot. Apparently.

Testing is the fifth phase in the developing, implementing and upgrading a clinical information system. Read more...

Short Development

What are they doing?

What is the two men above trying to achieve? Can a heart rotate? Can a snail be fast? Can a shrimp be really secretly an evil overlord? What is the fourth phase in the developing, implementing and upgrading a clinical information system? Want to find out? Read on...

The Analysis Phase

Analysystem...

System Analysis is the second phase in developing, implementing and upgrading a clinical information system. It includes, two phases, the Fact Finding Phase, and the actual Systems Analysis phase. Read more...

Into Designing

"Lunch anyone?"

In Systems Design, the third phase in developing, implementing and upgrading a clinical information system, there are three parts taken care of, namely: Functional Specification, Technical Specification and Implementation Planning. Read more...

Planning Continued

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

After the Identification of the CIS Management Team, the next steps in planning are the following:

b.)    Definition of the Problem

c.)     Feasibility Study

d.)    Environmental Assessment

e.)    Development of a Project Timeline

f.)     Giving of Recommendations

g.)    Documentation and Negotiation of a Project Scope Agreement

h.)    Allocation of Resources Read more...

Meet the Teams

There's no I in Team.

As with all systems, the first phase in clinical information systems is planning. Planning involves the identification of the basic compositions from which the system will be formed around. It includes the problem, assessments and the team that would be behind the CIS.

First under planning is the Identification of the composition of the CIS management team. There are three teams, namely the CIS Steering Committee, Project Team and Departmental Team. Read more...

What is Clinical Information System?

Improved health care at your fingertips

Clinical Information System (CIS) is an integrated information system designed to manage all the aspects of a hospital operation, from medical, administrative to financial. It is an important tool used to improve the quality of health care service and to reduce the chance of errors. With the ever-shifting technological advancements in this generation, CIS replaces paper charts and records of the past.

CIS main demands are correct data storage, reliable usage, fast to reach data, secure to keep data on storage and lower cost of usage. Its aim is to achieve the best possible support of patient care and outcome and administration by presenting data when needed and acquiring data when generated. Read more...
