ICTM Flashcards
Designed to assist in the management and planning of health programs, as opposed to delivery of care.
Health Management Information System (HMIS)
were managed manually, traditionally starting from
then patient registration to consultation.
Healthcare administrations
To address the aforementioned issues, using a ________ should be taken into account.
Health Management Information System (HMIS)
to provide quality information to support decision-making at all levels of the health care system in any medical institution.
major role of HMIS
It should provide information on all key aspects of the health system without duplication
Complete
If similar information is provided by different sources, their definitions need to be consistent.
Consistent
It should be very clear what all the elements are actually measuring
Clear
It should not be unnecessarily complicated
Simple
The actual usage of each element should justify the costs of its collection and analysis
Cost Effective
Data should be held in a form readily accessible to all legitimate users, and it should be clear who these people are.
Accessible
It should ensure that people without legitimate access are effectively denied
Confidential
includes data acquisition and data verification.
Data Input
also called processing phase includes data storage, data classification, data update, and data computation.
Data Management
includes data retrieval and data presentation.
Data Output
This involves both the generation and the collection of accurate, timely, and relevant data.
Data Acquisition
involves the authentication and validation of gathered
data.
Data Verification
The preservation and archival of data may be regarded as part of the ____
Data Storage
This is also known as Data Organization. It is a critical function for increasing the efficiency of the system when the need arises to conduct a data search.
Data Classification
involves various forms of data manipulation and data
transformation, such as the use of mathematical models, statistical and probabilistic approaches, linear and nonlinear transformation, and other data analytic processes. It allows further data analysis, synthesis, and
evaluation so that data can be used for strategic decision-making purposes other than tactical and/or operational use.
Data Computation
New and changing information is accounted for through the element of _____
Data Update
is concerned with the processes of data transfer and data
distribution.
Data Retrieval
has to do with how users interpret the information
produced by the system. In situations where only operational or even tactical managerial decision making is expected, summary tables and
statistical reports may suffice.
Data Presentation
defines the various components of the routine health
information system and their linkages to produce better quality data and continuous use of information, leading to better health system performance and, consequently, better health outcomes.
PRISM
Meaning of PRISM
Performance of Routine Information System Management
