REASONS (Why did you learn it?)
I learned about the definition of a health
management system, its roles and functions. I

framework. Hospital management systems
enable us to optimize and digitize all of the
institution's processes, which will help to
improve customer service, reduce process
costs, and streamline the search for medical
records, bills, patients, and doctors, among
other things; thus, having a database of each
module implemented. Healthcare
administration focuses on particular
departments and budgets, day-to-day
operations, and staffing, whereas healthcare
management oversees the direction of a
healthcare facility or system, organization-wide
goals, and "big picture" demands.
I learned it by hearing words to convey myself
that it is important in life. A HIS's role is to
ensure that trustworthy and timely data is
produced, analyzed, disseminated, and used by
decision-makers at all levels of the health
system. Multiple users and a wide range of
purposes are served by health information
systems, which can be summarized as the
generation of data to enable decision-makers at
all levels of the health system to identify
problems and needs, make evidence-based
health policy decisions, and allocate scarce
resources optimally. Definition. The term

quality tools and differentiate the different
techniques used in root cause analysis. Refers
to the accuracy and consistency of client-level
data. The extent to which client data in the
system reflects actual information in the real
world can be used to assess HMIS data quality.
Data quality is a metric that indicates how well
a data set is suited to its intended use.
Accuracy, completeness, consistency, validity,
uniqueness, and timeliness are all data quality
attributes that are measured.

Data enables us to make connections that lead
to new discoveries and improvements. CPD
includes not just educational activities aimed at
improving medical knowledge and abilities, but
also management, teamwork, professionalism,
interpersonal communication, technology,
teaching, and accountability. It has two
purposes: to maintain existing practice and to
translate knowledge into practice. One
component of fostering better health care is
educating professionals about new theories
and evidence of what works and what doesn't,
and under what conditions.

health information technology (IT). Increase the
reusability of systems and applications by
promoting the use of scalable, cheap, open-
source software systems and developing a
common health information architecture,
standards, guides, tools, and data management
and analysis solutions. Improved data quality
leads to more informed decision-making across
the board. You can have more confidence in
your decisions if you have more high-quality
data. Good data reduces risk and can lead to
consistent results improvements. Data quality

is vital in today's organizations because poor
data can lead to poor decisions, which can lead
to lower organizational efficiency. The time it
takes to make a decision, as well as decision-
making performance, are both factors in
decisionmaking efficiency.
I learned that HIS must deliver high quality
patient care and better management of
financial records. It needs to be affordable,
scalable, and centered on the needs of patients
and medical personnel. It should be adaptable
to rapid technological changes. A hospital
information system is fundamentally
a computer system that could manage all the
information to permit health care providers to
do their jobs efficiently. HIS for different

Doctors plan appointments using hospital
information systems, which give a common
source of information about a patient's medical
history. The system must store data in a secure
location and restrict who has access to it under
particular conditions. The goal of the Hospital
Information System is to improve Medical
Outcomes, Quality of Life, and Quality of Care
while concurrently lowering Operations,
Morbidity, Medical Errors, and Cost.

REASONS (Why did you learn it?)
The technique of obtaining, evaluating, and
protecting digital and traditional medical
information crucial to providing effective
patient care is known as health information
management (HIM). It combines the fields of
business, science, and information technology.
Patients' health information data, such as
symptoms, diagnoses, medical histories, test
results, and procedures, is organized, overseen,
and protected by health information managers
(HIM). A bachelor's degree in health
information management will help you get a
good job and a good wage. With an advanced
degree and expertise, health care professionals
can earn a good living. They may be able to
advance in the field of health information and
get larger rewards.

good living. They may be able to advance in the
field of health information and get larger
rewards. GIS may help with "strategy, capital
planning, public health administration,
marketing, and operations" in the healthcare
industry.4 GIS allows healthcare administrators
to know where their patients originate from
and what demographic their facilities serve. To
maintain patient information privacy and
 security, healthcare providers and other HIPAA-
covered institutions must use health
information management. Medical coding and
billing, as well as assuring compliance with
government standards and responding to
consumer requests for Personal Health
Information, are all part of HIM (PHI).

capacity, lowering labor expenses and
inventory levels, and improving patient care
quality. Patients can actively participate with
their health care providers in making crucial
health care decisions thanks to effective
management of personal health information,
which can potentially lead to improved health
care and better health care outcomes.

LESSON 10 LIMS

CONTENT (WHAT DID YOU LEARN?)
A business's quality control (QC) procedure
strives to ensure that product quality is
maintained or enhanced. Testing units and
evaluating if they meet the final product's
criteria is what quality control is all about.
Quality Control, or QC, is a set of operations
that ensures that a product's quality is
maintained by finding any flaws that may exist.
 Inspection, deliverable peer reviews, and the
software testing process are all examples of
quality control activities. Requests for tests are
received and stored in a laboratory information
system, and findings are input by laboratory
workers or directly from laboratory instruments
(e.g., via the ASTM E-1381 protocol
Specification for Low Level Protocol to Transfer
Messages between Clinical Laboratory
Instruments and Computer Systems). A
laboratory information system (LIS) is computer
software that processes, stores and manages
data from all stages of medical processes and
tests.

PROCESS (How did you learn it?) A laboratory information management system

(LIMS) is software designed to make

laboratories more efficient and effective. The
aim of a LIMS is to enhance efficiency in
laboratory operations by reducing manual
procedures. The core components of LIMS are
electronic la notebooks, sample management
programs, process execution software, records
management software, applications interface,
workflow tools, client tracking, best practice
and compliance databases, and ERP software.

The Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) released an
Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals
in Laboratories standard (29 CFR 1910.1450) in
2011 to facilitate laboratory safety.

LIMS covers registration, billing, contact

management, and monitoring of accounts

receivable.

REASONS (Why did you learn it?) LIMS assist laboratories in setting priorities of

current workloads, based on availability of

analyst and instrument. LIMS have functions

that enable users to set standards about the
relevant range of patient test results, or to
extract test result information for the purpose
of quality assurance. LIMS modules are
commonly linked to a barcoding label
 generator, enabling a fast and easy method to
identify tubes, samples, documents, and many
others. The label can simply be printed on a
sticker and be placed on any item which needs
identification. A bi-directional interface
application saves time in programming test
orders into the analyzer and eliminates errors
in manual entry. This can result in a
considerable enhancement in analyzer
productivity.

reference values, interpretation, comments,
improved retrieval procedures, and faster
invoicing are some of the key benefits of LIS. A
laboratory information system (LIS) is a
software system that records, manages, and
stores data for clinical laboratories. An LIS has
traditionally been most adept at sending
laboratory test orders to lab instruments,
tracking those orders, and then recording the
results, typically to a searchable database.
Location and distance from the production
activity, analytical turnaround time, cost of the
specific test, and results dependability are all
factors to consider.
