Introduction

The InHCc Health Management Information System is used to manage the care of the individual, manage the Healthcare organization, and manage the strategic development of Health Sector Reform policy for the population. The InHCc System is designed to help Health Care Managers understand the role of data in developing solutions to provide effective and efficient health care.

The InHCc System will be the starting point for what InHCc will propose as a beginning of a National Health Management Information System. The individual organizational units using the InHCc System may range in size from the individual medical practitioner whose office may be equipped with a single PC and modem, to the local clinic, to the local and district hospital, to the National Health Department.

• Develop innovative health care models that address the human and social content of health care as well as the quality of services.

• Development of effective leaders and well trained managers that are able to administer resources and services effectively.

• Develop innovative process models to increase the efficiency of health care delivery. 

• Provide for the future by development of a Research and Advance Data Analysis Department.

• To offer technical assistance to health service providers and institutions of higher education in the areas of research, training, and development of human resources, organization structures and health serviced delivery

• Support institutional Integration of the Federal Secretariat of Health, State Health Agencies, and Local health agencies, and service providers

The InHCc System provides a framework which supports the separate needs for information in one integrated system. These needs are:

• Use of data for the delivery of services (client care)

• Use of data for Transactional or day-to-day requirements (Operational)

• Use of data for Management  (Strategic)

• Use of data for Predicting the Future (Predictive Analysis)

• Research

 Specific Objectives

Communication and Behavior

•  Communicate what is important throughout the organization

•  Communicate the results of an action

•  Shape behavior – people act according to the way they are measured.

Management

The specific management objectives of the InHCc Health Care Management System are:

• At the Clinical Level

  • Provide individual detail client information

  • Provide sufficient detail information to predict trends

  • Manage the client based on his or her individual needs

  • Manage local resources based on local trends and local needs

  • Measure the local organization’s performance against their goals

  • Measure the local organization’s performance again the overall organization’s goals

  • Measure the changes in the local health conditions as a result of this management

  • Provide sufficient information to evaluate management and to reward management for work well done

• At the Middle Management level

  • Provide detail information on the organizational units for which they are responsible
  • Provides for immediate feed back of deviations of the local organizations goals from the goals of the overall organization.
  • Provides for decentralized control without any loss of information or overall control. 
  • Provides for an environment where managers can manage and teach others to manage. 
  • Provides for the ability to select good health care procedures by being able to compare in detail among the many and select those procedures that offer the best results.

  • Provides for the ability to use all indicators from all locations simultaneously and analyze the relationships among them.

• At the National Level

  • Provides the ability to easily select from a large collection of indicators and in sufficient detail to evaluate health care policies objectively.
  • Provides the ability to manage each and every unit and not just the “averages.”
  • Provides for immediate feed back of deviations of the local organizations goals from the National goals.
  • Provides sufficient detail information to predict trends and assess where trouble areas may exist before they exist
  • Provides the ability to take timely correction action
  • Accurately estimate costs
  • Provides for the efficient and effective use of scarce resources by analyzing supply and demand at each and every operating unit and moving scarce resources where they can best be utilized.
  • Provides for each stakeholder to access selectively as much or as little information as they may need…over the Internet…and in real time.  

The InHCc System is designed to help discover new variables, indicators, and the relationships between them that are meaningful and useful. It provides the ability to focus on processes and perform complete analysis of these processes.

Information Services will become important as governmental agencies seek to gain more information in order to improve health and to reduce health care costs. “Adoption of data warehousing in health care has been slowed by the lack of understanding of the benefits offered by the technology” (CDW).
