Abstract

Nowadays, the hospital information system has established itself as an essential tool for hospital management which should help change habits and improve the performance and financing of the health system. Hence, the present research aims to determine and study the contribution of the hospital information system (HIS) in controlling health costs, which generally results in better resource efficiency. The hospital cost analysis that was carried out on a sample of healthcare facilities located in the Wilaya of Tlemcen showed that these costs are not only an emergency in the construction of an information system but also a modern tool for efficiency measurement and decision support.
