Many, if not all of us, have experienced the hassles of going to hospitals or medical centres.

Everything you need to know about handling patients' information

By Omar Abdul-Hafiz

The healthcare landscape has witnessed dramatic changes and developments throughout the decades on all levels. For example, going back about 6 to 7 decades ago, there was almost no way to identify the sex of an embryo before it was born. The mere idea of actually “seeing” that embryo grow from a wee 0.13-inch sized fetus in its 5th week to a near fully-grown baby in the final weeks of pregnancy was, back then, a thing of science fiction. Fast-forward to the ’80s, however, this started to become very possible with the widespread of ultrasound devices.

But the development doesn’t simply stop here, as it extends to every other aspect of the healthcare sector, most notably in the way we now handle patients’ medical data.

By Cesilia Faustina

Hospital Information System, also known as HIS, has become an important part of hospitals today with many healthcare providers adopting HIS as an important mean to establish efficiency.
