Health Care Quality Committees, which consist of experts in the field, emphasize that achieving significant improvements in quality relies on developing new healthcare systems that are based on information technology. The complex and dynamic nature of modern medicine makes it essential for hospitals to utilize information systems. To meet this need, software groups known as “Hospital Information Management Systems” (HIMS) are used in healthcare services. In the early stages of HIMS usage, the primary benefits provided to the healthcare sector included strengthening communication, efficiently collecting and accessing patient care data, enhancing patient and staff safety, and reducing medical errors, redundancies, and costs. Recently, however, there has been a stronger focus on increasing quality and efficiency by collecting, processing, and evaluating clinical data. In this context, the contributions of information systems in managerial fields have become particularly important. Objective: The aim of this study is to contribute to hospital management processes regarding waste management, resource utilization, and hand hygiene compliance rates through web-based data tracking programs. Method: Special tracking programs have been developed for waste management, resource utilization, and hand hygiene compliance to achieve this objective. Data related to each field is collected by authorized users through a web interface, allowing for real-time monitoring and analysis. Data is grouped and tracked according to its specific category, and Chart.js is used to visualize the data and facilitate analysis through graphical representations. Findings: Waste Management: Medical waste is monitored based on unit and temporal changes. • Energy Usage: Time-based analyses and monitoring are conducted for energy, water, and natural gas usage. • Hand Hygiene: Compliance and non-compliance rates in hand hygiene are examined comprehensively according to factors such as time, location, occupational group, and indication. Conclusion: Information systems have brought about significant transformations in data collection, processing, and evaluation. Analyses based on this data have contributed to managerial activities by helping identify training needs, implement corrective and improvement measures, monitor processes effectively, and enable early intervention in issues.
