The term healthcare operating system is new and describes the function of an extended clinical information management system capable of exchanging data with other systems and operating through remote “cloud computing” facilities. This operating system must support an expanded patient-based record capable of incorporating a growing array of data sources and coordinating care activities among providers, patients, and families. In the future, the HOS will allow electronic health records from different vendors, patient portals, patient wearables, medical devices, data repositories, and other outside sources of data to connect seamlessly together in a secured cloud via advanced interoperability. Many of these standards are being set today.

Providing information technology solutions to clinicians to support their work practices benefits clinicians, administrators and patients. We present our 8-year experience with an inexpensive information management system which provides clinical and business process support for clinicians and bed managers. The system has been used by an area rehabilitation and aged care service to manage inpatient consultations and patient flow across nine hospitals. Performance monitoring of the time from referral to consultation, the number, type and outcome of consultations, and the time taken to access a rehabilitation or subacute bed is also provided. Read-only access to the system for clinicians and bed managers outside the rehabilitation and aged care service allows greater transparency.
