What is HMIS?
HMIS
stands for
HEALTH MANAGEMENT
INFORMATION SYSTEM

8. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
There has been a need to establish
an efficient information system
responding to the information needs
of various decision making levels of
health care delivery system,therefore
between june 1991 n july 1992 HMIS
design was finalized with active
involement of the future users of the
system.

9. National program managers, provincial
directors, district health officers, medical
officers in charge, and representatives of
the paramedical staff were consulted
through the organization of workshops and
meetings
HMIS was started with the actual functions
of first level care facilities, later on data
collection procedures, information flows
and data processing mechanisms were
defined

10. Data processing for the new system has been
computerized at provincial, divisional and on an
experimental basis, at district level
Its overall structure has been approved by the
federal ministry of health and provincial health
departments during two national HMIS
workshops held in islamabad in january and in
july 1992

therefore “to gain information” but to
“improve action”
