Finally, the hospital to establish a permanent special funds to strengthen the hospital financial information management construction into the hospital's budget, for information management of the daily needs of electronic equipment and technical services to provide economic support to ensure that the information, archives, resource base and the normal operation of the network platform.
(2) combined with the actual, step by step to carry out the work of hospital financial informatization
Because of the specificity of the hospital's own business, the construction of information technology will have different needs, combined with the actual development of the hospital's business, the hospital according to their own financial situation, personnel status, in stages, step by step to carry out the construction of information technology. First, it is required to start from the practical point of view, from the technical maintenance, under the conditions of the overall plan drawn up by the hospital, to develop an implementation program in line with the needs. Second, from the hospital information specificity and security as a starting point, do the relevant personnel training and counseling work. Including basic training, unit application system training and individual counseling, to achieve each process of personnel are able to skillfully use the information system to improve efficiency and standardize hospital processes. Therefore, only from a practical point of view, according to the real needs and existing conditions to enter the stage of its work.
