AIMS has recently adopted the completely web based Amrita Healthcare Informatics Suite or AHIS. Development on the Amrita HIS started in Dec 2002 and within a record time of 9 months, a fully functional AHIS was successfully deployed at AIMS. The AHIS has more than delivered on the benefits it was planned to provide. AHIS capitalizes on the Open Source platform, and is based on the patent-pending HMOS (Healthcare Management Operating System) technological framework. This enables AHIS to be very cost effective yet complete with all the functional needs of a hospital. AHIS also encompass the LIS (Lab Information System) and RIS (Radiology Information System) modules which makes it an enterprise software management syste m for healthcare industry.
The Amrita Hospital Information System manages all the patient information from patient registration to discharge. It has many sub-modules which are very tightly and seamlessly integrated which cover all the hospital transactions related to the patients. It is also linked with the functioning of the Medical Transcription Department. AHIS has significantly helped the AIMS hospital management, and therefore has emerged to become one of the most leading and sought after Hospital Information System in India.

The Laboratory Information System (LIS) module, which is part of the AHIS, manages the entire Clinical Laboratory testing and reporting functions. LIS software has direct interfaces to many of the automatic laboratory analysers. As the lab tests are performed, the results are stored to the database and is readily available to the doctors anywhere in the hospital. |

AHIS provides access to the radiological imaging, such as X-Ray, CT, MRI, etc through standard protocols such as DICOM and HL7 as part of the Radiological Information System (RIS).
Doctors can view DICOM images on their desktop computers.. AHIS sends orders to RIS using the Health Level 7 (HL7) protocol.
The hospital also has a separate physical network of patient monitors using web-based software. Web Source allows physicians to view the current status of the critical patients in the ICUs and CCU from their offices on their desktop computers. |
