Health Information System (HIS):
1. Collection of data from various health sources, such as data about health facility, morbidity profile, EOC service etc.
2. Cleaning, analyzing, and summarizing the data.
3. Generate and distribute reports through routine administrative report, website, year book, health bulletin, newsletter, etc.
4. MIS-Health maintains an online database of health personnel working under the DGHS through which staffs can maintain detail service related personal resume in the database under own control and access it through internet from anywhere.
5. Collects staff availability information from all health offices, institutions and facilities.
Structure of HIS:
The existing data flow system is comprised of wireless internet network covering all health facilities and health administrative points from national to upazila levels. Data from the health facilities below the upazila levels are sent to upazila health offices by paper-based forms where they are processed electronically. Several online databases have been created.
Recent advancement:
A new addition in the health information system of MIS-Health is the GIS (Geographical Information System). GIS device called Global Positioning System (GPS) has been provided, one to each of the six divisional and 64 district health offices of the DGHS. Using these devices, GIS-based HIS data resources will gradually be built
