The need was to create an aesthetically pleasing yet practical system. In spite of the large volume of information, the structure and navigation needed to be simple and targeted to the audience perspective. With multiple departments and information running into hundreds of pages, the hospital felt it was critical for the information to be organized systematically in an uncomplicated way.

The Hospital required a completely integrated solution for their hospital to manage scientific information as well as the treatment modalities offered by more than 10 departments. Apart for the department's automation, a system was also required to integrate a basic personnel system which looked after the administrative needs of all the employees.

The HAMS is a modular solution, thus ensuring sustained benefits through changes in technology, protecting and providing optimal returns from the investment. It is modeled on a unique combination of a 'patient centric and medical staff centric' paradigm, beneficial to the recipients and the providers of healthcare. HAMS uses a network of computers to gather, process, and retrieve patient care and administrative information for all hospital activities to satisfy the functional requirement of the users. It also helps as a decision support system for the hospital authorities for developing comprehensive health care policies.

The HAMS 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.

HAMS is based on the exemplar of a centralized information system designed for quick delivery of operational and administrative information. The software is built around a highly optimized core library. Application modules are layered around this core and can be suitably customized for any user specific requirements.
