IICS Technologies team holds an Integrated Hospital Management Information System Review
In a bid to asses and get a deeper understanding
of the progress attained since the Integrated Hospital Management Information System
(iHMIS) was deployed in some health facilities, China-Uganda Friendship
Hospital in Nagura held an engagement meeting with the IICS Technologies team.
Dr. Batiibwe Emmanuel Paul the Hospital Director
while chairing the meeting drew examples from his past experiences in other countries
noted that; any system that seeks to ease work of an administrator ought to be embraced
and supported despite the challenges that may prevail.
He led a team of hospital administrators,
clinicians, senior nurses, pharmacists among others, who on their part
highlighted the importance of different unique system modules. However, the occasional
breakdown of network impedes the functionality of the well intentioned system,
they said.
Hajj Abdul Nsubuga, the Project Manager of the
iHMIS, in response pledged to engage stake holders responsible for
infrastructure and network, to find a lasting solution to the intermittent
network failure. He was accompanied by Mr. Solomon Ssendigiya, the Head of
Business Development and Strategy as well as Change and Development Officers
from IICS Technologies.
In the implementation arrangement, Ministry of Health
meets the infrastructural needs while NITA-U, provides the internet
connectivity and IICS Tech shoulders the process of designing,
engineering, testing, deploying, training users and maintaining the system.
