This explains why medical information system has become an important support tool in the management of health care services delivery. An adequate medical information system is vital not only for assessing the health needs of populations and groups, but also for planning and implementation of health interventions. The "Otorhinolaryngology Information System (ORLIS)" is a web based application for healthcare providers of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology in Philippine General Hospital to store, retrieve, collate and process data required for reports generation in a faster, efficient and accurate way. The system is designed for the Electronic Medical Record (EMR), Specialty Clinics (for out-patients) and Ward admissions (for ER and in-patients) of the Department. The system also includes a simple imaging program to visualize Otorhinolaryngology physical examination.
