Privacy
As discussed, a HIS protects privacy by having passwords and keys that must be put in.
Some systems will not allow staff to log in without a swipe card. There are restrictions on who
can see certain information in the chart. Penalties for violating the HIPPA regulations can vary
from a category 1 violation $100 on average up to $50,000 for a category 4 violation.

[ CITATION Qua15 \l 1033 ] Hospitals are highly aware of these penalties so when selecting a
system should take care to select one that has the maximum-security features.

How adopting a system will improve efficiency and productivity
A newly implemented HIS achieves efficiency at the organizational level by streamlining
the processes which allows providers to see more patients in the same amount of time as before.
Standardizing documentation with fill in the blank with dropdown tabs forms included on HIS
interfaces. The HIS steer nurses and physicians to the same questions and assessments for all
patients. Less waste is produced by nearly eliminating the need for any paper charting. Another
benefit to electronic charting is that the same information can be stored with much less space
used. HIS increase productivity because all staff can do their jobs better and in less time. This
also removes the stress of all the paperwork that was handwritten before. Capital resources are
lowered because there is no longer a need for off site storage spaces to hold all the paper charts.
Human resources are reduced because less staff is needed to keep up with the charting,
admissions, and discharges.

Four stake-holders
Four essential stakeholders would be the IT (information technology) personnel, the
physician or primary care provider, the unit manager, and the staff nurse.
The IT staff member is an expert in the interfaces and the electronic functioning of the
software that the other staff use bedside every day. This staff member would have to be involved

in the preplanning stage, implementation stage, and beyond. They would need to be available for
troubleshooting and to help with the training that would be needed too. A good idea would be to
have them very involved in choosing which HIS to select for the hospital because over tie they re
the one who will be intimately involved with the system to help keep it functioning smoothly.
They contribute to the success by keeping everything running like a well-oiled machine.
The physician is an essential stakeholder because they will use the system daily when
performing their daily rounds. Their expertise is in providing patient care, giving and entering
orders, and retrieving patient history to make decision about what to do next with the patient.
