Abstract

Improving the degree of healthcare services mostly depends on ensuring that technologies for healthcare management function as they should. With an eye towards how they could enhance patient results, operational efficiency, and the pleasure of healthcare personnel, this paper investigates how these sorts of systems impact the general quality of healthcare. Designed to simplify administrative chores, assist clinicians in making choices, and provide real-time data access, healthcare management systems (HMS) These elements taken together are required to raise patient care and service delivery. To determine how these elements of healthcare administration including electronic health records (EHR), patient management systems, decision support tools, and hospital information systems affect the quality of healthcare, the study examines several facets of healthcare management. Extensive research was conducted applying both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Along with an assessment of success statistics from healthcare facilities using HMS, this includes polls and talks with managers and staff in the sector. Using more sophisticated healthcare management systems together, according to the results, increases patient pleasure, decreases medical errors, enhances the accuracy of patient diagnosis, and helps to better allocate resources. Using HMS also facilitates team working for healthcare teams, therefore enhancing hospital processes and reducing unnecessary treatment delays. Although systems of healthcare administration provide numerous advantages, their setup and usage are still challenging. Regarding data security, system integration, and the initial system setup cost in particular, this is very true Over time, nevertheless, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks as systems using data analytics and real-time information processing are absolutely necessary for altering the way healthcare services are given. Finally, this study emphasises the need of using technology to raise patient quality and treatment for healthcare management. More research has to be done on how data-driven concepts, machine learning, and artificial intelligence may be applied to create even better healthcare management systems.
