- 6. 6 12/27/2014 Health Information Processing What is the significance of information systems for health care? Information processing is an important quality factor, but an cost factor as well. It is also becoming a productivity factor. Information processing should offer a global view of the patient and of the hospital. A hospital information system can be regarded as the memory and nervous system of a hospital

- #7: What is the significance of information systems for health care? Information processing is an important quality factor, but a cost factor as well. It is also becoming a productivity factor. Information processing should offer a global view of the patient and of the hospital. A hospital information system can be regarded as the memory and nervous system of a hospital
- #8: From an economic point of view, productivity of a hospital might be defined as the ratio of number of cases and full-time employees If, however, output is considered as quality of patient care, it is much more difficult to calculate productivity For high-quality patient care and economic management of a hospital, it is essential that the hospital information system can make correct information fully available on time. This is also increasingly important for the competitiveness of hospitals Information processing in a hospital should offer a comprehensive, complete view of the patient and of the hospital
