HIS LEC 1.2 Flashcards
four key functions of Health information system
data generation
compilation of data
analysis and synthesis of data
communication and use of dat
collects data from the health sector and other relevant sectors

data generation
ensures their overall quality, relevance and timeliness converts data into information
analysis and synthesis of data
in most helath care venues, it is employed between various dapartments
multiple software products
The exchange of information between the computer and the user
interface
interface specification should include
• what data will be transferred,
• where data will be transferred,
• when data will be transferred,
• Security and encryption considerations.
contribute to the overall effectiveness of the computer support of laboratory operations.

interfaces
pass patient information between computers without direct human intervention.

Interfacing of the —— and —– allows the test result to be entered directly into the computer information system or LIS
laboratory computer
analytical testing instrument
transferred directly over a single wired or wirelessinter face.
test result data
transmits or uploads results;
unidirectional interface
for the reception of uploaded information from an instrument.
bidirectional interface
for simultaneous transmission or downloading of information.

• information and demographics
• systems for billing,
• process and store patient medical information.

interfacing of the HIS and the laboratory computer facilities
• the exchange of test request orders,
• return of analytical results (the laboratory report),
• charges for the tests ordered and reported.
• When the data are verified, nurses or physicians in the patient care areas can retrieve results through —-
terminals and printers
• A well-designed, easily accessible HIS-LIS database offers significant improvements in:
• medical record-keeping,
• patient care planning,
• budget planning,
• general operations management tasks
all those involved with specimen collection, processing, and testing must use the —– correctly
