A directory of Health institutions and a database of the doctors working at various levels in these institutions has been created recently in Madhya Pradesh. The directory covers about 2460 Health Institutions which include District Hospitals; Special Hospitals; Civil Hospitals; Community Health Centres and Block & Sector Health Centres. The database on doctors contains the qualification; posting history; working status; service duration etc, of over 5000 doctors working in various disciplines namely surgery, gynaecology etc. An appropriate computer-based Health-Personnel Information System (HPIS) has been developed and implemented by the National Informatics Centre Madhya Pradesh State Unit for, management of the personnel (doctors) by the Health Department.
The System is very User-friendly and facilitates generation of various reports such as information pertaining to any doctor and Health Institution; district level statistical reports showing the number of doctors employed by discipline/working status/working period in tribal area(s) or in the same institution, designation etc. The System can also be used for generation of transfer report and promotion report.
The various reports generated from the system are helping the Health Department in making certain significant decisions related to Personnel management.
