RHUH uses Hospital Management Information System HMIS integrated package as well as PACS/RIS software.

HMIS is an integrated hospital management system that supports the entire hospital operations and all departments, medical and non-medical. It is build by object-oriented tools with a graphical interface based on click paradigm that is easy to use. The system is divided into front-office system and back-office systems whereby each system has a set of integrated modules. The front-office system modules include the main modules and the clinical modules.Most of these modules have been implemented while a few are still not implemented or in the process of implementation as will be indicated. The main HMIS modules are:

• Patient Master Index: Stores patient information including Medical Record Number, Name, Birth Date, and Telephone Number and ID Number.
• Admission Discharge and Transfer: manages the processes used to admit, discharge, and transfer patients between departments and rooms.
