PC-1 for Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences
computerization has been approved by Ministry
of Information Technology (MOIT). The total
cost of the PC-1 is Rs: 37.8 million. PIMS
is the first tertiary care Public sector hospital
to have its HMIS PC-1 approved. A unique feature
of computerization at PIMS was the determination
of PIMS to initiate this program through donations
in 1996.
It started with 02 computers in Department
of Pathology and today PIMS has a network
of 70 computers using fully integrated HMIS
software. This feat has to date been achieved
through public -private partnership.
The following modules are already under various
stages of implementation throughout Islamabad
Hospital.
• Patient Registration
• Doctor Consultation
• Admission discharge
• Pharmacy
• Laboratory
• Budget
• Accounts
• Stores
• Human Resources
The benefits of a fully integrated HMIS are
multiple. These include benefit for
Patient, Doctors and Management. These benefits
translate in better management, efficiency
and transparency
Executive Director PIMS Syed Fazle Hadi took
keen personal interest in this project and
it is because of his untiring efforts that
today PIMS is the leader in HMIS. The MOH
showed great interest in this project and
it gave its blessing.
The MO IT appreciating the keenness of PIMS
and its efforts in initiating and maintaining
this project since 1996 were pleased to approve
this PC-1. The PC-1 provides for all hardware
networking and funds for training of staff.
This project inshallah will be completed in
27 months.
