ALERT: The threat is not near or not large.

LIMITED DISASTER: The threat is confirmed to be as estimate of 10-15 critical cases. This would require only presence of pre-selected group.

FULL DISASTER: The threat is confirmed to be as estimate of 20-25 critical cases. This would paged overhead as “Disaster Alert- Code Blue”. All CRH staffs are expected to respond to full disaster situation.

Code Blue : Medical Emergency

Code Red : Accident and emergency (Internal Disaster)

Code Orange : Hazardous material spill or Leak

Hospital information system

A hospital information system (HIS), variously also called clinical information system (CIS) is a comprehensive, integrated information system designed to manage the administrative, financial and clinical aspects of a hospital. This encompasses paper-based information processing as well as data processing machines.

As an area of medical informatics the aim of an HIS is to achieve the best possible support of patient care and administration by electronic data processing.

It can be composed of one or few software components with specialty specific extensions as well as of a large variety of sub-systems in medical specialties (e.g. Laboratory Information System, Radiology Information System).

CISs are sometimes separated from HISs in that the former concentrate on patient- and clinical state- related data (electronic patient record) whereas the latter keeps track of administrative issues. The distinction is not always clear and there is contradictory evidence against a consistent use of both terms.

CRH has customized a HMIS software in few departments viz. Finanace module , Registration, Central Supply and Stores and Medical Records Departments.
