HAVELSAN Health Informatics: ATLAS HIMS and Pakistan Export
What does HAVELSAN do in healthcare? One of the fields in the civil portfolio of HAVELSAN, best known for its defence software, is health informatics. The company’s hospital information management system (HIMS) has been used in military hospitals and exported to the Pakistan Kidney & Liver Institute (PKLI), while its HIMS solution named ATLAS has been released as open source. This article covers HAVELSAN’s health-informatics side, based on official sources.
For the company’s other public-sector work, see our article on its public and e-government projects.
What is a HIMS?
A hospital information management system manages a hospital’s entire workflow — from patient admission to examinations, from laboratory and imaging to billing — under a single software roof. In Türkiye, the digital operation of public hospitals largely runs on such systems. HAVELSAN’s solution in this field offers a high-technology, reliable, flexible, manageable and easy-to-use structure.
From military hospitals to the civil field
HAVELSAN’s HIMS know-how matured through use in military hospitals. The company turned this experience into an enterprise product answering the needs of modern healthcare organisations, and it has been among the solution options for large-scale projects such as integrated health campuses.
Export to Pakistan: PKLI
One of HAVELSAN’s most visible successes in health informatics is being selected for the fully integrated hospital information management system of PKLI, the kidney and liver speciality hospital in Pakistan’s Punjab province. The company delivered the system together with provision, operation, maintenance and support services. The project added a civil export item alongside HAVELSAN’s defence cooperation in Pakistan.
ATLAS: an open-source HIMS
HAVELSAN released its hospital information management system named ATLAS as open source on GitHub. This is a notable choice aimed at contributing to the growth of the domestic software ecosystem in health informatics; developers can examine the system and contribute to it.
