Abstract

Timely available quality health information obtained through the regular monitoring systems to monitor the COVID-19 situation in the hospitals is essential to curtail any outbreak of infectious diseases. The main objective of this project was to collect heath information updated regularly through a web-based system in order to assess the readiness to face the 3rd wave of COVID-19 in Sri Lanka. The Hospital Information Updating System (Henceforth referred to as HIUS) was established on 25th May 2021 and an updated report has been created daily since the 1st of June 2021 in order to collect information pertaining to the management of COVID-19. According to the results, all secondary and tertiary care hospitals daily updating their information to the system. According to the 14/06/2021 dashboard, 108 ICU beds, 351 HDU beds and 1868 normal beds were occupied by Covid positive patients. At present, satisfactory number of vacant beds are being maintaining in the government hospitals of Sri Lanka for any future requirement.

建立医院信息更新系统(HIUS)以加强斯里兰卡医院应对第三波COVID-19的准备

通过定期监测系统及时获得高质量的卫生信息，以监测医院的COVID-19情况，对于遏制任何传染病暴发至关重要。该项目的主要目标是收集通过网络系统定期更新的卫生信息，以评估斯里兰卡应对第三波COVID-19的准备情况。医院信息更新系统(以下简称HIUS)于2021年5月25日建立，自2021年6月1日起每天创建一份更新报告，以收集与COVID-19管理有关的信息。根据调查结果，所有二级和三级医院每天都会向系统更新自己的信息。根据2014年6月14日的数据显示，共有108张ICU床位、351张HDU床位和1868张普通床位被新冠病毒阳性患者占用。目前，斯里兰卡政府医院保留了数目令人满意的空床位，以备将来需要。
