Abstract: Objective This study aims to evaluate the impact of the dialysis information management system on quality of dialysis center. Methods The dialysis information management system (Beijing Huibaitong Company) has been used in the Dialysis Center, the First People’s Hospital of Foshan since 2012. We compare the data before and after the application of this system, including change of manpower resource, integrity of treatment records, and the dialysis quality for patients. Results The application of this information management system increases work efficiency, improves the integral quality of dialysis, saves manpower
resources, and ensures the integrity and accuracy of hemodialysis records. After use of this information management system for one year, the levels arriving to the standard requirements change from 34.6% to 55.9% (χ2=25.180, P=0.000) for hemoglobin, from 44.8% to 70.7% (χ2=37.895, P=0.000) for dialysis adequacy, and from 38.2% to 45.5% (χ2=2.980, P=0.05) for control of hyperphosphatemia. Conclusion The application of the dialysis information management system promotes service efficiency and dialysis quality. However, there are still some obstacles to be solved.
