  1. Curative services
  2. Teaching services
  3. Researches

Healthcare information system

The hospital uses a computerized system. It includes only the clinical services while the administrative services use another application.

Clinical system

QuadraMed is divided into three subsystems: prod, dev, and train. Prod refers to production which is the main "real system" that users deal with directly. Dev refers to development which is used to develop new requirements then test them to make sure they work well. Dev is used to prevent excess work load on the main system "Prod". Every two months after testing the new applications they are transferred from "dev" to "prod". The last subsystem is "train", used to train staff and student usually in the skill lab.

Administrative system

The hospital administrative application is not integrated with QuadraMed. They use their own visual basic applications created by IT team in the hospital.[ citation needed ]

Medical records in KFHU

At KFHU the medical records are identified by Numeric (unit numbering) which means that each patient has a unique number. Furthermore, the filing system in the hospital is straight numeric.
