Resource Patient Management System (RPMS) Support & Training Project
The Indian Health Service Resource Patient Management System (RPMS) is designed to meet the varying needs of the Indian Health Service and Tribal hospitals and clinics throughout the United States. RPMS is a decentralized automated information system that unlike many commercial software applications, is made up of several integrated software applications that can function alone if necessary. The software applications that make up RPMS, operate within a single database structure so information need only be entered once to be available for all users.
The objectives of RPMS are to provide information processing capability directly to the end users to support their administrative and health care programs; and to collect core information for a national database. The goal of RPMS is to provide meaningful and rapid access to information for direct support of health care delivery and resource management.
The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) has been actively promoting and supporting the Indian Health Service version of RPMS. Through the Northwest Tribal Epidemiology Center (The EpiCenter), the tribes of the Northwest can now receive technical assistance in the areas of :
* Health Status Objectives
* Clinical Objectives
* User Support in using the RPMS installed Packages
* Q-Man queries
* Generating Reports
* Immunization Tracking
* Women’s Health Package
