Abstract :
The Hospital Information System incorporates an integrated computerized clinical information system for improved hospital administration and patient health care. It also provides an accurate, electronically stored medical record of the patient. A data warehouse of such records can be utilized for statistical requirements and for research. HIS is based on the exemplar of a centralized information system designed for quick delivery of operational and administrative information. For a small township hospital it is incapable of constructing an independent information system which resulted in high construction costs and waste of resources. In existing Hospital Information System the sharing of information is only within the same hospital. The proposed system uses the Cloud computing system for the Hospital Information System. The proposal is based on the concepts of cloud computing. The medical image information sharing, exchanging and high-end processing is available in the "Cloud". The information (Medical Images) present in the cloud can provide the necessary details to the doctors and the patient can seek the treatment in different branch hospital, reduce the information and computational resource maintenance in the hospital. Furthermore, existing medical equipments can be rebuilt to be more efficient and low-cost as medical terminal units.
