ABSTRACT

Many large-sized hospitals have adopted advanced management methods widely used in other industries to cope with changes in healthcare environment, and to manage hospitals efficiently. Hospital information systems (HIS) have become one of important infrastructures of hospital management and information technology (IT) plays an increasingly significant role in the healthcare industry. IT investments of hospitals are growing exponentially and various information systems such as OCS (Order Communication System), EMR (Electronic Medical Record), PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) have been implemented at a number of hospitals in Korea. Development of efficient and effective information systems and its operation are key factors in determining the competitiveness of hospitals. We have surveyed and analyzed the current status of hospital information systems of hospitals selected in this work, and proposed an information strategy for e-Hospital implementation. Firstly, implementation status of major subsystems of HIS such as OCS, PACS, and EMR has been reviewed and types of IT personnel management have been examined. We also have interviewed executives of a university medical center to consult the views of executives concerning the importance of HIS and implementation strategy. Based on the field survey result, an information strategy for e-Hospital implementation has been proposed, that can be referenced by hospitals to build their own information strategy. We expect that the study result can contribute to understanding the present status and issues of HIS and planning information strategy of hospitals.
