Project Rationale
No real time data available to monitor the performance of the hospital
Evidence based program management was a challenge
Undue delays in receipt of data
Retrieval of old manual records was ineffective & time consuming.
Duplication of records was again a setback within the hospital
• Monthly reports sent as hard copy- a real challenge for data
analysis/comparison
• Drug & equipment inventory - maintenance and tracking of
warranty/AMC-more cumbersome
• Lack of standard names and codes

Project Strategy
1. ICT Initiatives
2. Policy Initiatives
3. Process Initiatives
4. Paradigm Shift
1. ICT Initiatives
• Centralised Web based Application
• Infrastructure investments-Hard Ware /Connectivity/UPS etc
• Utilizing the existing Infrastructure investments by State
Government- State data centre /TNSWAN
Application Software
• Developed and implemented by Tata Consultancy Services
• GoTN owner of the application
• Centralized web based application on open source platform
• J2EE (Java 2 enterprise edition)
• Postgre SQL data base
• Glass fish Application Server
• Solaris Operating System
• Follows industry standard-three tier architecture viz
(Presentation, Business logic and Data layer)
• SUSE Linux OS at the end user level-user friendly screens
Patient Identification
Unique ID-PIN
•15 Digits
•First digit indicates Directorate
•Next five digits denotes institutional code
•Last nine digits refers to patient number
•This number is different from OP number
•OP number has 17 digits
•Two more digits next to institutional code makes 17
digits for op number
2. Process Initiatives
• For Software requirement specifications (SRS) thorough study of the entire health
system and its process were studied
• Extensive training sessions were conducted for various categories
• Stakeholders meetings
o Periodic reviews &
o Follow up action taken
• Help desk set up
o Protocol established
o Central helpdesk for facilitation and co-ordination
o Equipment break down also monitored by HD
• IT coordinators placed in each district
o All infrastructure issues related activities
o Application support and training
o Form e-core team in individual hospitals and solve IT issues
o Three Server Administrators for Server Management
3.Policy Initiatives
Issue of government orders for:•
•
•
•
Implementation, Sustainability & Usage
Fixing of responsibility on the end users
Budgetary provisions for maintenance & support
Removal of Manual records
• Creation of new posts at district level and state level to support ICT
interventions
• Instructions to the Heads of Departments and Directorates to use data
from HMIS for purpose of monitoring, review and analysis
• Instructions to dispense away with the system of manual reporting and
instructions to audit teams
• Formation of a dedicated team at the Directorate
• Establishing a centralized help desk at the directorate
4.Paradigm Shift
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Automation of work flow process at the hospitals
Manual Registers/Records removed from hospitals
Real Time monitoring of hospitals performances
Electronic Medical records
Standardization of health systems and processes
Computer skill development among the hospital staff
Online maintenance of drug inventory/equipment inventory
No data entry operators-involvement of regular staff

Health Management Information System (MIS)
o
PHC’s under Directorate of Public Health & Govt Hospitals under
Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services- send monthly
reports online (1589 PHCs and 267 Secondary care hospitals)
Advantages
For the Patient
• Patient identification number (PIN)
• On next visit, patient can approach the consultant directly, need not wait in long queue
for registering again
• Print out of the prescription is given to the patient
• Old records not required on review-it is available on line
• The clinical records of the patient are safe for a longer period of time
• Patient can visit any secondary care hospital across TN with PIN
• The Patient identification Number (PIN) can be interfaced with UID
Advantages of HMS
For Doctors• Saves a lot of time
• Drugs/lab investigations can be grouped into packages and more often a package
may be prescribed.
• Can view the previous clinical history ports on line
• Specialty OP- Doctors with a single click, can repeat the previous prescription.
• In certain cases the doctor can follow the Standard treatment guidelines (master
data)
Advantages of HMS
For Staff Nurses
Saves a lot of time- need not maintain too many registers
Diet, drugs &linen -indenting can be done from wards
Ward inventory easy maintenance
Lab investigations results can be viewed from the ward
Discharge summary given to the patient as print outs
Handing over and taking over of charges, patients census- made accountable and
transparent
• Ward transfer in & out managed effectively
• Monitor and manage the blood bag availability
•
•
•
•
•
•
• Drug expiry dates –monitored on a real time basis.
Advantages of HMS
For Pharmacists
• Transparency and accountability in managing drugs, equipment stocks.
• Drug stocks are updated upon each drug issue.
• The pharmacist can monitor the expiry dates and the batch number of each drug.
• Need not count the tokens & consolidate them for stock position.
• The Warranty/AMC of equipments can be easily tracked.
Levers of success
1. Strong ownership and support from Top Health Administration
Communication to hospitals – by State authorities
2. Supporting Government orders
Mandating usage of Online system
3. End users trained to use system
No data entry support
4. Procurement Policy
TNMSC &ELCOT-as per norms
5. Implementation follow up by TNHSP
Regular stake holders meeting to discuss various issues and resolve the issues
6. Utilizing State Investments in establishing the Infrastructure
7.World Bank’s periodical monitoring and review helps to attain the benchmark
during implementation
Challenges in Implementation
 Mindset and Involvement of the hospital staff
 Change Management and Total system transformation
 Lack of co ordination among various vendors (no single vendor for IT infra)
 No senior IT consultant to co ordinate all IT activities. Only Medical Officers handle
 Connectivity and server stabilization still continues to be major challenges
 Man power shortage at the user-end.(HR of Directorate)
 Lack of basic computer knowledge - training on BCK, HMS & MIS
 Mapping existing process and rationalization of input forms for standardization
 Safe custody of hardware
Frequent break down calls and 24X7 helpdesk role in downtime reduction
