A study on building data warehouse of hospital information system

Background  Existing hospital information systems with simple statistical functions cannot meet current management needs. It is well known that hospital resources are distributed with private property rights among hospitals, such as in the case of the regional coordination of medical services. In this study, to integrate and make full use of medical data effectively, we propose a data warehouse modeling method for the hospital information system. The method can also be employed for a distributed-hospital medical service system.

Methods  To ensure that hospital information supports the diverse needs of health care, the framework of the hospital information system has three layers: datacenter layer, system-function layer, and user-interface layer. This paper discusses the role of a data warehouse management system in handling hospital information from the establishment of the data theme to the design of a data model to the establishment of a data warehouse. Online analytical processing tools assist user-friendly multidimensional analysis from a number of different angles to extract the required data and information.

Results  Use of the data warehouse improves online analytical processing and mitigates deficiencies in the decision support system. The hospital information system based on a data warehouse effectively employs statistical analysis and data mining technology to handle massive quantities of historical data, and summarizes from clinical and hospital information for decision making.

Conclusions  This paper proposes the use of a data warehouse for a hospital information system, specifically a data warehouse for the theme of hospital information to determine latitude, modeling and so on. The processing of patient information is given as an example that demonstrates the usefulness of this method in the case of hospital information management. Data warehouse technology is an evolving technology, and more and more decision support information extracted by data mining and with decision-making technology is required for further research.

     

基于HRP的医院现代化管理模式分析

随着国家对于医疗卫生信息化改革的不断深入,当代医院的管理模式正在悄然发生变化。医院正逐渐从以医疗业务为重点的管理模式,向医疗+运营的整体现代化管理模式转变。HRP成为帮助医院实现运营管理现代化的助推器。医院通过HRP系统的应用,可逐步实现物流、资金流、信息流的一体化整合;通过对医院财务的一体化管理、物流的精细化管理及员工绩效的战略化管理,使医院全面提升运营管理水平,实现"经济效益"与"社会效益"双赢。
