Abstract
The Health Information System is widely used in healthcare contexts and has improved the performance, state, and effectiveness of health services and the overall patient well-being. Following the reform of the Romanian health system, and the context created by the COVID-19 context, there is an increased demand for such platforms. In order to strengthen the Primary Health Care system, there is a need to design new services performed with the assistance of information technologies that can reduce the costs and increase the quality of the health care services. This study provides relevant information about (1) the planning and development of the health information system, (2) the needed hardware architecture, (3) the usability and design standards for health information systems, (4) the testing and validation in the local market, (5) the integration of all requirements resulting from the system testing and (6) the continuous integrations and updates. All the information obtained during the planning stage is based on previous research regarding the analysis of existing national and international online medical systems.
Highlights
The Health Information System is widely used in healthcare contexts and has improved the performance, state, and effectiveness of health services and the overall patient well-being
The existence of the online platform aims to allow and integrate collaborative activities at all levels between cluster members while linking competencies and their availability. All these features are classified under the label digital health systems or Health Information Systems and increasing market worldwide estimating to reach more than 50 billion dollars in us alone in 2025 (Figure 1)
A number of 78 articles are published on the platform, 20 specialists are registered with individual accounts, and 51 researcher accounts are created with different roles, and eight medical events have been listed
Summary
Health Information Systems (HIS) are recognized as an essential means to strengthen Primary Health Care (PHC) in developing countries[1]. The developed health information system will be referred to by the acronym SANINFO and is publicly available at saninfo.ro (launched since 31.10.2019) It demonstrates how technology is used as a tool for dissemination by improving the awareness of the existing know-how in the medical field at any age stage, for different categories of users. Within the SANINFO platform, which is based on an open-source implementation, products and services of planned and developed research and development activities focus on the cooperation with cluster members with the scope of promoting and disseminating scientific healthcare information at a national and international level. The existence of the online platform aims to allow and integrate collaborative activities at all levels between cluster members while linking competencies and their availability All these features are classified under the label digital health systems or Health Information Systems and increasing market worldwide estimating to reach more than 50 billion dollars in us alone in 2025 (Figure 1). Aggregating and understanding the collected data, digital health can act as a driver of health strategies
