Health Management

Information System
“Address the need to enhance the management of the
healthcare services and to have real time data availability to
monitor the hospital performance”
Information system that is specifically designed for assisting the
management and planning of our health care programs

Roles of HMIS

It is to provide real time data, or which translates to quality information that

important because it’s the basis. It will provide you a glimpse or a snapshot or
how your institution is performing towards its services.
