Abstract:

This study examines the significant contribution of IT to improving hospital information system management. They are mainly aimed at assessing how IT applications in hospitals, including Electronic Health Records (EHR), Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS), and telemedicine, enhance processes, communication, and patient outcomes. Using quantitative data sources involving performance measurement data, together with qualitative data collected through interviews and observation forms, forms the basis of the research. This study demonstrated its strengths by gathering data from various hospitals using a stratified random sample, enabling a comprehensive comparison of various healthcare facilities. Some of the findings highlighted are the fact that integration has a positive overall impact on the working of the business, reduces office responsibilities, and increases positive effects on patients. Electronic health records simplify patient data entry, allowing for better album handling and more accurate records. CDSS assists the clinician in making the right choices, which in turn helps to improve the quality of care.
