Exploring The Utilization Of Management Information Systems In Public Hospitals: Challenges, Limitations And Future Trends Innovations

Abstract

This review article examines the utilization of Management Information Systems (MIS) in public hospitals, focusing on current implementations, case studies, benefits, limitations, and future trends. It provides an overview of the prevailing MIS platforms in public healthcare institutions, including Electronic Health Records (EHR), Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology, highlighting their roles in enhancing operational efficiency, data management, and patient care delivery. Case studies from various public hospitals illustrate the practical applications and outcomes of MIS implementation, showcasing real-worl[1]d scenarios and challenges faced. Furthermore, the paper discusses the benefits of MIS adoption in public hospitals, such as improved information accessibility, streamlined workflow processes, enhanced decision-making capabilities, and better patient outcomes. However, it also addresses the limitations and barriers associated with MIS integration, such as security concerns, interoperability issues, resistance to change, and financial constraints. Looking ahead, the paper explores future trends and advancements in MIS technology for public hospitals, including the integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics to further optimize healthcare operations and patient care. Additionally, it discusses the importance of addressing ongoing challenges and gaps in MIS implementation to realize the full potential of information technology in public healthcare settings. Overall, this review provides valuable insights into the current landscape, challenges, and opportunities surrounding the use of MIS in public hospitals, offering guidance for future research and implementation strategies.
