Abstract: Objective To explore the management model of health information technology (HIT) suitable for hemodialysis (HD) center. Methods We analyzed the requirement of HIT construction, and defined the necessary functions of HIT for the HD center of Peking University People's Hospital. We then specifically
designed the HIT management protocols linked to the established HIT management platform in the hospital. Results According to the delineated designation and requirement, the aim and idea of the HIT construction were set up. The HIT was scheduled and programmed to be built up, and was connected to the hospital information system, laboratory information system, and dialysis apparatus. Therefore, dialysis and clinical data can be collected automatically and managed in a closed-circuit environment to improve the efficiency and quality of medial care. Conclusions A management model of HIT suitable for HD center can be built up, which is implanted into the information system of the hospital and cooperates with other systems in the hospital.
