Hospital Information System

MIMSYS is a real-time, on-line integrated information management system for clinics and hospitals, addressing all critical areas of a typical healthcare setup.

It is modular and flexible. The various modules are fully integrated.

While computerizing the various functions ranging from patient registration to clinical services, it provides immediate access to clinical and administrative data, streamlines the scheduling and management of clinic visits and admissions, improves the dispensing of medications, facilitates management of Laboratory and Radiology functions and more.

The system allows implementation in a phased manner, with flexibility for the users and the management of the Hospital/Clinic to decide and prioritize the sequence of modules to be implemented. However, when used for various aspects of Hospital/Clinic management, it forms a single robust and integrated environment offering powerful, immediate data access across the database. For example, the laboratory investigation results are accessible from a ward terminal, the pharmacy department are able to obtain patient allergy reactions, and the nursing department are be able to access laboratory reports, and so on.

The overall system is extensively parameterized thus allowing greater flexibility in terms of operating and managing the entire application vis-à-vis the overall Hospital/Clinic procedures. In addition, the system also provides module level parameters to tune the behavior of the module in accordance to the department level procedures/rules.

The system extensively provides for maintenance and usage of codes wherever possible. Where applicable, the system supports configuration for using international standard codes. The system provides for quick look-up facility for searching the required code based on flexible criteria and it is also easy to select the required code.

The Patient is the focal point of the entire system. The system maintains comprehensive details about the patient – demographic details, visit details across different episodes both as outpatients and inpatients, etc. Each patient is identifiable by a unique patient Number, the format and structure of which is user-definable.

A patient’s encounter with the hospital could be either as an inpatient, day care or an outpatient sub-classified as a normal outpatient/inpatient or accident and emergency patient. Each visit is identifiable by a unique reference number along with the Hospital/Clinic where it occurred. The services provided to the patient whether clinical care (laboratory tests, X-ray investigations, pharmacy prescriptions etc.) or supportive in nature (allocation or transfer of bed, type of meal, etc.) are associated with respective unique visit reference number.
