A HIS (Hospital Information System) is the integrated software that runs a hospital — clinical records (EMR), appointments, pharmacy, laboratory (LIS), radiology (RIS/PACS), billing and revenue cycle (RCM), inventory and reporting — in one platform.
A good HIS connects every department so a patient's journey, orders and charges flow without re-keying, and it integrates with national platforms for claims and health-data exchange.
SBS implements full HIS platforms for hospitals across Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE, including NPHIES/NABIDH/Malaffi integration, Arabic support and CBAHI/GAHAR-ready documentation. See our HIS solution.
