Abstract

Hospitals are in the business of caring for patients, therefore, patient-centered, operations optimization-based, integrated information systems are the core of hospital management information systems. Successfully implementing patient care information systems (PCIS) in health care organizations is a difficult task. Hospital information system (HIS) developed for one country may not work in another country because the rules and regulations that these institutes are to follow are different from those of the United Kingdom or the United States of America where most of the HISs have been developed. Especially, the implementation of a PCIS which has been developed elsewhere is more likely to end up with ‘failure’ than ‘success’ in another country since “programs and jokes do not travel”. These HIS programs almost have to be rewritten from the scratch, therefore, costs to tailor packages to fit the needs of the local market and integrate them are often outrages or unknown. There are several failures of implementation of foreign hospital information systems in Turkey due to the software companies’ lack of knowledge about how the state and university hospitals function in the country. Fortunately, six hundred and eighty state hospitals and forty nine university hospitals in Turkey have to follow and comply with the same rules and procedures that are set by the ministry of health. They all conduct or have to conduct their business more or less in a very similar fashion and they do make a huge market for software companies in the business of developing and selling hospital information system. There has been no previous study of System analysis of non-patient related modules of Hospital Information Systems used in all state and university hospitals in Turkey. In this paper, it is the first time, system analysis and modules of the state and university hospitals management information system are given in detail so that they can be used as reference by the people who need to know how the state and university hospitals conduct their business in Turkey.
