The healthcare industry is undergoing a rapid digital transformation, with Hospital Information Management Systems (HIMS) playing a vital role in enhancing efficiency, patient care, and hospital administration. As healthcare institutions increasingly integrate technology into their operations, it has become essential for healthcare administrators to develop a strong understanding of HIMS. This textbook, The Textbook on Hospital Information Management Systems (HIMS) for MHA Students, is designed to provide Master of Hospital Administration (MHA) students with a comprehensive foundation in HIMS. It covers key topics such as electronic health records (EHR), hospital management software, data security, regulatory compliance, digital transformation, and emerging trends in healthcare technology. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical applications, the book aims to equip students with the necessary skills to navigate the evolving healthcare landscape. The objective of this book is to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world implementation. It incorporates case studies, best practices, and insights from the healthcare industry, ensuring that students can apply their knowledge effectively in hospital administration. Whether for students, educators, or healthcare professionals, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding and implementing HIMS in modern healthcare institutions.
