Electronic medical records or hospital information system (HIS) is designed
to collect individual patients’ information in the clinic. Otherwise conducting medical
research, requires the collection of information, and the current HIS is not considered
for this. Also, there is no such mechanism to be easily summarized the patient's history
in the list form.
In Nippon Steel Hirohata hospital, we build and run the subsystem powered by
Filemaker, the commercial database software, by the method of end user computing for
18 years.
In the subsystem, we create the ledger of hospitalization, surgical register, and list of
malignant tumor patients, and any medical information. Also this supports to make the
hospital certificates and other documentation. In addition, we are making the integrated
clinical history system on those systems. This information is referred by all devices on
the network in our hospital, which helps with the effective use of information shared by
each department.
