Abstract
The vision of providing health information infrastructure which would support daily operations of the hospitals and also facilitate decision making to bring fundamental changes in healthcare and academic management in medical colleges and hospitals in the State was largely under achieved due to ineffective implementation of the Healthcare and Academics Management Information System (HMIS). Of the 16 modules, one module was fully implemented, 10 modules were partly implemented and five modules were not implemented in all 16 hospitals out of 19 hospitals. The HMIS is largely under-used and manual system was continued in all the 16 hospitals. Non-availability of complete healthcare data centrally has been a hindrance for disease surveillance in the State and may have restricted the State’s intervention to reduce the disease burden. The implementation of HMIS was not adequately monitored which resulted in the vision of healthcare management through HMIS remaining unfulfilled.
