HEALTH INFORMATION MANAGEMENT UNIT

 

The National Hospital of Sri Lanka (NHSL) is the largest teaching hospital in Sri Lanka and the final referral centre in the country consisting of 3500 patient beds with in-ward patient admissions of more than 250,000 per year. It is one of the busiest places in Colombo catering for over 5000 patients a day. The National Hospital features many finer specialities in Health care and most of these specialities are only available at NHSL.

The Health Information Management Unit (HIMU) of NHSL is led by a Consultant in Health Informatics. There are two medical officers with a post-graduate qualification in Health Informatics and postgraduate trainees in health informatics who are working towards improving the healthcare services provided by the hospital by applying digital health solutions to the healthcare workflow.

Under this scope, HIMU has already implemented the Hospital Health Information Management System (HHIMS) with the help of the Information & Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA). Services of HHIMS have now been expanded by integrating it with the Picture Archiving & Communication System (PACS). The implementation of health information systems, clinical workflow adaptation, change management, user training, requirement gathering for future system improvements, further improvement of health information system functionality, and new system implementation are conducted by the staff of HIMU.

The vision of the Health Information Management Unit is to improve the healthcare services provided by the hospital through digital health interventions.
