Abstract EN
In recent decades, information technology in healthcare, such as Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system, is potential to improve service quality and cost efficiency of the hospital.
The continuous use of EMR systems has generated a great amount of data.
However, hospitals tend to use these data to report their operational efficiency rather than to understand their patients.
Base on a dataset of inpatients’ medical records from a Chinese general public hospital, this study applies a configuration analysis from a managerial perspective and explains inpatients management in a different way.
Four inpatient configurations (valued patients, managed patients, normal patients, and potential patients) are identified by the measure of the length of stay and the total hospital cost.
The implications of the finding are discussed.
