Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Systems in Healthcare
  • Hospital Management Systems

Background:

  • The Styrian Hospital Organization and Heidelberg University Hospital adopted a new hospital information system (HIS).
  • The HIS is based on SAP/R3, ISH, and ISH*MED to integrate various hospital functions.
  • The objective was to create a unified system for patient administration, care, documentation, and research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the implementation and performance of a new integrated hospital information system.
  • To assess the system's ability to support diverse hospital operations, including specialized clinical needs.
  • To determine the feasibility of using standard and customized modules in complex healthcare environments.

Main Methods:

  • Heidelberg University Hospital employed a phased implementation, starting with patient administration (ISH) and progressing to clinical functions (ISH*MED).

  • Styria implemented the full system functionality in a peripheral hospital and the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Department at Graz University Hospital.
  • Customized documents and programs were developed to support highly specialized clinical units.

    • Main Results:

    • The standard modules of the HIS demonstrated good performance, stability, and general acceptance.
    • The implementation in Graz successfully addressed the workflow management, documentation, and data integration requirements of a specialized ENT department.
    • Customized solutions were effective in meeting the needs of highly specialized departments.

    Conclusions:

    • The integrated HIS, including specialized modules, is capable of supporting complex healthcare workflows and documentation.
    • While effective, the implementation of specialized functions requires additional effort, particularly during the initial project phases.
    • The system's flexibility allows for adaptation to the unique demands of specialized medical units.
