14 March 2013 - Call to register at RIPAS Hospital under new system

THE public were requested to come forward and register their personal information at the Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPAS) Hospital following the launching of pre-registration for the newly set-up Bru-HIMS system yesterday.

The system was officially launched by the Minister of Health Yang Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Johan Pahlawan Dato Seri Setia Hj Adanan Begawan Pehin Siraja Khatib Dato Seri Setia Hj Mohd Yusof.

Bru-HIMS which stands for Brunei Darussalam Healthcare Information and Management System is a system that electronically registers patients, manages appointments, records clinical notes and makes requests for radiology and lab tests. The system also allows doctors to prescribe medicines electronically.

Acting Director of Healthcare Technology Pg Hjh Saadiah Pg Muda Hj Hashim said, "The launching of Bru-HIMS has been a success in the Tutong District after its implementation in July last year, with the Bru-HIMS plan being rolled out in other districts. Bru-HIMS is now moving forward with the registration in the Brunei-Muara District"

She also assured that the implementation of Bru-HIMS would be done in an optimal fashion with as little interference and disturbance as possible to patient safety and care. Early registration will also lessen the overcrowding at registration counters when manual medical records will have to be updated into the system.

Patients need only register once, upon which patient data will be fully accessible at four districts at both hospitals and health centres. This means that those in Tutong and Belait need not register.

There are nine registration counters made available: at the lobby of the outpatient area, the specialist clinic, the pediatric clinic, the blood taking sample area, the department of radiology, the obstetrics and gynaecology clinic, the two specialist buildings and the psychiatric clinic.

Opening hours for registration are during working hours. The public are required to bring their IC or copies of the ICs of those family members that they want to register. The Health Ministry said that registration would open to health centres in the Brunei-Muara District shortly.
