Objective To present the design of an information management system for health supervision and test reporting in Pudong New Area of Shanghai, and to assess its application.
Methods According to the quality management on health inspection reporting, the information management system, including functional modules, workflow, permission settings, and running environment, was designed. The system evaluation included the rates of errors and timely reports before and after the system launch.
Results After the initiation of the information management system, the error rates in test reports statistically declined from 9.33% in 2010 to 0.47% in 2011 (P < 0.01), and the rates of timely issued reports increased from 97.13% in 2010 to 100.00% in 2011. The establishment of the system provided a solution to a wide range of flaws in the old supervision system, such as redundant workflow transitions, time consuming, and error-prone manual processing.
Conclusion The information management system for health surveillance and field test realizes the standardization of test reports.
