A case-mix hospital information system was designed and implemented in Palestine Red Crescent Society hospitals in order to support the network of Palestinian hospitals in Lebanon and to improve the health of refugees in the country. The system is based on routine collection of essential administrative and clinical data for each episode of hospitalization, relying on internationally accepted diagnostic codes. It is a computerized, user-friendly information system that is a stepping-stone towards better hospital management and evaluation of quality of care. It is also a useful model for the development of hospital information systems in Lebanon and in the Near East. ‫ﻟﺒﻨﺎﻥ‬ ‫ﰲ‬ ‫ﺍﻟﻔﻠﺴﻄﻴﻨﻲ‬ ‫ﺍﻷﲪﺮ‬ ‫ﺍﳍﻼﻝ‬ ‫ﲨﻌﻴﺔ‬ ‫ﳌﺴﺘﺸﻔﻴﺎﺕ‬ ‫ﻣﻌﻠﻮﻣﺎﺕ‬ ‫ﻧﻈﺎﻡ‬ ‫ﻭﺗﺸﻐﻴﻞ‬ ‫ﺗﺼﻤﻴﻢ‬
