Abstract

The empirical data is used in organizations all over the world which require the integration of some informational systems like Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Clinical Information System (CIS); these concepts will discover with new form of Bangladeshi public hospital’s improvement in Information Technology (IT) sector. The objective of this conceptual paper is to review critically and identify the gaps in current literature aligning with Hospital Information System (HIS) and Electronic Medical Record (EMR), building relationship between EMR and CIS in terms of Bangladeshi public hospital; towards hospital’s effectiveness of service operator when public hospital plays an important role to keep the patients data. The proposed conceptual framework assists HIS providers to understand how EMR and CIS can contribute to improve the hospitals patient database. More over the paper presents an analysis in various aspects of EMR and CIS complying with a conceptual framework which can attract the researchers in Hospital information System field and public hospital management field for the better presences of information technology for the patients. Hospital Information System (HIS) is essential in hospitals especially which deals with high-quality healthcare treatments. HIS helps to improve patients care services. Thus, the Bangladesh Government has not introduced any kind of HIS for public hospitals of Bangladesh. Moreover, there is no study on HIS implementation in Bangladeshi public hospital.

Highlights

In this present world, the existence use of technology plays vital role to enhance the economic and social life (O’Leary & O’Leary, 2005)

Researchers extended that the correlation between these fundamentals be given vigilant thought and consideration if public hospital is desired to attain by this new system

Summary

Introduction

The existence use of technology plays vital role to enhance the economic and social life (O’Leary & O’Leary, 2005). This can lead to inefficient system implementation which creates time lag, means that patients usually wait for longer hours to get their treatment When all these factors are combined it clearly depicts that the public sector healthcare is of lower level. Find out the existing information about the subject matter concerning the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Clinical Information System (CIS) construct in the area of Hospital Information System (HIS). The development of theoretical mechanisms combining with EMR attributes and CIS is constructed to a theory to do further empirical test to know that how patient and operator of hospital are eager to use this model in public hospital of Bangladesh to increase the productivity of hospital. This research is important because the study of hospital information system has become essential and need for the hospital operators, new implication of storing the information can be applied by them to find out the patients and hospital service holders’ ultimate needs in this particular sector
