Krasnoyarsk’s regional information system for healthcare
management
One of the Russian Federation’s larger states, Krasnoyarsk Territory,
is computerising its administration of regional healthcare. Dr
Konstatin Vinogradov, Egor Korchagin, Dr Ludmila
Nozhenkova and Dr Marie Nikitina, who worked together to
create the regional information system, describe its architecture.
abstract
The Krasnoyarsk regional healthcare management information system has
been designed to support decision-making processes at all levels of
healthcare administration in the Territory.
In what has proved to be a successful departure from traditional
healthcare-solutions design, its creation and implementation was a
collaboration between the Territory’s Healthcare Administration
Department, its Centre for Medical Information Analysis, the Computer
Modelling Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and its Laboratory
of Intellectual Information Systems.
The system is a complex of interconnected information subsystems that
harvest, store and analyse data, using datawarehousing, OLAP and
geographical-information technologies.
Its first subsystem, the data-collection system, was rolled out at the
end of 2001, and now the region’s healthcare budget is calculated by use
of the system.
