Project Description:

The GHMIS project was conceptualized by the department of health & family welfare to ensure the quality health care by IT application in such a manner so as to provide standard clinical & diagnostic tools, hospital management tools and integration of management information at the state level so as to ensure online review & monitoring.

The GHMIS has been envisaged to not only help the administrators to have better monitoring and control of the functioning of hospitals across the state using decision support indicators but also assist the doctors and medical staff to improve health services with readily reference patient data, work flow enabled less-paper process and parameterized alarms and triggers during patient treatment cycle.

The GHMIS enables monitoring pre-defined health indicators and the embedded exception reporting facilitates decision making by the hospital management and state level administrators for policy and strategic decisions.

The GHMIS is state-of the-art healthcare solution to provide better care to patients by addressing all the major functional areas of the hospital & the entire gamut of hospital activities.

Each hospital is unique in its requirements and priorities. GHMIS is end- to-end solution to the healthcare industry which offers the flexibility of allowing a hospital to choose from various modules as per the hospital specific needs.

One of the major concerns of most hospital s is confidentiality of reports and records. GHMIS provides multiple levels of security in the software, so that data pertaining to various functions of the hospital remains confidential. A role based access control mechanism is deployed for restricting / permitting the form level data access.
