5 ESSENTIAL POINTS TO EVALUATE BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO BUING A HIS SOFTWARE

Hospital Information System (HIS) is critical to automate hospital processes and improve operational efficiently. However, his is also a great investment, not only in terms of money but also in terms of change that will bring in your hospital. Its implementation requires unlearning and relearning of the methods through which many processes are executed Hospital.

Here we list down 5 important points that should be considered in your decision to buy or not-to-

1. Is it is customizable?

It must be very clear on what features you want in your mandatory software and what you are flexible to have (I would). Based on the check list as I want software customization that are considering require and you can? The operations suggest many automatic functions in your HIS team to cancel manual processes, but it is necessary to analyze how important having these characteristics are. So you need to check if these features are a built-in part of the software or need to be customized. And the most important thing is these customizable features and work efficiently?

2. Is it’s scalable?

His is a long term investment, so you must ensure that the software scale as it grows the hospital. Compare the quotient of the software scalability, if able to adapt to the expected growth of the company and manage the operations and the resulting data smoothly. The software should be able to handle the load of further processes and data that will be generated because of the increased work.

3. Can the new her being integrated with the current system?

In the case of an existing and currently functioning hospital processes I am already in existence. The processes may run in a semi-manual system, semi-automatic. Data loss is not a positive event in a functional process. Evaluate whether the transition from the current system to the new software will be smooth without loss of data?

4. What are the data security provisions?

Hospitals generate huge amounts of data which are confidential. These data must be stored for certain duration of time (according to the law of the earth) and should be read from time to time for clinical decisions. The HIS should be assessed in terms ilcui security and backup. How will retrieve and edit or delete data if you want? It is how easy or not so easy? Such as access to data will be restricted? And how can it be easily recovered if needed?

5. Trainable as is her that is being considered?

Functional hospital or a new one, its implementation requires extensive training. It implements its own to achieve certain positive results at the end of operations; the ultimate success of HIS will depend on how comfortable is the end user with the software. Evaluate how different is the new software from the current system? What is the level of difficulty for end users in your hospital? How long will it take for the end user can easily be trained in the new software? These are important points to consider before finalizing you’re HIS.
