Total Integrated Clinic Information System (TICIS)

Information technology is proving to be a vital element in the administration
of healthcare. Specifically, most healthcare institutions in this country are adopting
information systems that provide more accurate and timely information regarding
patient care. Appropriate patient care requires the use of clinical procedures aswell as
applied research protocols. Information must beaccurate and immediately available to
individuals involved in the care of patients. "Total Integrated Clinic Information
System" was introduced as a way to facilitate a centralized patient information
repository. Benefits realized by this system included improvements in patient care,
clinical research, and patient service and satisfaction. The ultimate goal ofthis project
was to provide a paperless patient medical record that linked research and clinical
data
