Submit your own ratingChoosing a hospital information system: eight criteria
A hospital information system connects admission, treatment, nursing and discharge. Test complete patient journeys across professions and departments. A demonstration of individual screens does not establish whether the system fits daily work in your hospital.
These criteria help assess a hospital information system against your workflows. The linked comparisons provide further detail on image archives and communication.
PACS and DICOM viewers Health messengers
1. Patient journey from admission to discharge
Walk through a case involving admission, transfer, consultation and discharge. Check patient identification, encounter assignment, bed planning and transitions between outpatient and inpatient workflows. Information should be visible where the responsible professional needs it.
2. Medical and nursing documentation
Let doctors, nurses and therapists test their typical tasks themselves. Compare templates, progress notes, task handovers and discharge reports. Changes need to remain traceable, and structured information should be reusable rather than entered again on every screen.
3. Medication workflow and orders
Check an order through approval, preparation and documented administration to discharge medication. Establish how allergies, changes, interruptions and collaboration with the pharmacy are handled. Ask for a concrete explanation of available checks and their limitations.
4. Laboratory, radiology and specialist systems
List your existing specialist systems before selecting a vendor. For each connection, ask about data direction, supported format, version and responsibility. HL7 FHIR is a healthcare data exchange standard; naming a standard alone does not demonstrate a working interface to your system.
5. Service recording, coding and billing
Follow a case from the documented procedure to billing. Check which information is passed to coding, how missing services are identified and how queries are handled. Required tariffs, case classifications and exports depend on the country and type of care.
6. Access controls, audit logs and downtime
Establish access by role and department and the procedure for exceptional access. Ask about audit logs, data location, recovery and tested contingency workflows. Define which information must remain available during an outage and how records created during downtime are reconciled afterwards.
7. Migration and rollout during operation
Request a plan for trial migration, data validation, interface tests, training and cutover. Historical encounters, documents and permissions need targeted checks. Agree acceptance criteria, responsibilities and a fallback procedure with each department if an important workflow fails at launch.
8. Operating costs and ongoing development
Include modules, interfaces, infrastructure, migration, updates, test environments and support over the same contract period. Establish response times, release planning and export options for a later switch. References from hospitals of similar size and clinical focus help assess effort and operation realistically.
Frequently asked questions about HIS
What is a hospital information system (HIS)?
A hospital information system, HIS for short, is the central software of a hospital or clinic. It brings together patient administration, medical and nursing documentation, service recording and billing, and connects the specialist systems such as laboratory, radiology and pharmacy. In German-speaking Switzerland the same kind of system is called Klinikinformationssystem (KIS).
What is the difference between a hospital information system and practice software?
A hospital information system is built for inpatient care in a hospital, with bed planning, nursing documentation and billing by case-based flat rates. Practice software covers the outpatient day of a medical or therapy practice. You will find the practice software comparison among the other software comparisons at the end of this page.
Which hospital information systems are there in Switzerland?
The comparison above shows 22 hospital information systems from vendors in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. Use the country filter to see only the systems from vendors in Switzerland.
What matters when choosing a hospital information system?
How well it covers your own processes, the interfaces to the specialist systems you already run, the transfer of data from the current system, the cost over the whole term, and support. The eight criteria further down go through these points one by one.
Can I rate the system I work with?
Yes. Choose “Submit your own rating” at the top of this page, or “Rate it” on your system's card. Only the rating, the date, your text and the first letter of your name are made public.
