Health Information System Standards: Applications in Clinical Records, Human Resources, and Healthcare Management
Overview
This paper examines health information system standards and their applications across four key areas of healthcare organization management: individual records, human resources, financial records, and public health accounts. It discusses patient document architecture and data linkage standards for clinical records management, alongside human resource management standards including technical workgroups, governance mechanisms, and workforce registry systems.

Health information systems standards apply to different aspects of the healthcare organization, specifically the management of individual records, management of human resources, management of financial records, and management of public health accounts. In relation to the management of individual records, it pertains to the patient's profile, healthcare needs, and treatment that serve as the primary basis for the clinical decision-making process. Health care records provide the platform for facilitating the sound and effective delivery of individual clinical care. Problems can often occur in situations where health workers might be overburdened by excessive reporting demands and data from poorly and multiple coordinated subsystems, which require health information systems to avert some challenges (Ninomura, Bartley, & Rousseau, 2011). Therefore, the health information system standards that apply to the management of individual records include patient document architecture and patient data linkage. Patient document architecture is a method for representing clinical data such as patient progress notes, patient discharge summaries, and patient safety reports electronically to facilitate standardization. The need frequently stems from the inherent desire for accessing an extensive amount of information stored in a free-text clinical note about the patient. It also seeks to enable for content comparison from different documents that have been created on information systems with varying characteristics.
