The Role of Information Technology in Improving the Performance of Health Services Through the Design of An Information System for the Specialized Children's Hospital in Basra

Abstract

The current research aims to demonstrate the impact of designing health information systems in improving the services provided to patients, since most patients have frequent references, tests and must store their information within a program that is easy to return to at the time of need, by doctors and therapists, to identify the state of health, as well as storing the information within a confidential number that only specialists know about. Hence, this research is in support of the technology and information systems of the specialized children's hospital to improve the services provided to patients. Through the design of the program, it is safe that each patient has his own number that preserves his or her information. We recommend that it be adopted so that the therapists are aware of the patient's condition and follow it up continuously until full recovery.
