Abstract

This study was performed to find a more efficient analytic method for medical record delivery process between using data collected from HIS and using data collected manually. And how to apply the Statistical Process Control technique to the quality measurement of work process. The results were as follows: 1. The method of using data collected from Hospital Information System was more efficient ( 99.2% ) than using data collected manually in time consumption. 2. The amount of analyzed data collected from HIS was amount about 3 times (279%) of those collected manually. 3. The application of Statistical Process Control technique for evaluating medical record delivery process was very effective to identify the problems in delivery process We identified the possibility that this statistical analytic technique of using data collected from HIS could be adopted to evaluate other process of healthcare management.
