3.2. Healthcare Information and Management Systems (HIMMS)
The digital hospital is subject to a certification process. The Health
Information System and Management Systems (HIMMS) is the organization
that determines the features and criteria for the hospitals who wants to
pursue this certification. The institutions who are granted for this
certificate should comply with HIMMS EMRAM
standards.21
HIMMS uses Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM) in
accreditation and leveling of hospitals. The EMRAM model deals with the
electronic medical record processes of hospitals, from the most basic
level to a paperless medical record process. In this model, the leveling
is done between 0 and 7. Hospitals that progress up to the 6th and 7th
levels are entitled to receive a certificate. The audits and continuity
of the documents given are subject to regular control. There are various
criteria to be met for each level of digitalization.
