Neonatal Information System™
The Clinical Database Management Solution
for Neonatology since 1985—and the one that fully
constructs the Neonatal portion of any hospital-wide certified electronic medical record.
For over 25 years, MEDICAL DATA SYSTEMS (MDS)has worked closely with neonatologists, nurses, and hospital administrators in hundreds of newborn intensive care units to develop enhancements and innovations to the management of complex clinical data for the critically ill newborn.
The result of this collegial interaction has been the development of the most comprehensive; user defined neonatal database management solution that seamlessly interfaces with various sources of information from within the hospital and links to systems outside of the NICU.

The Neonatal Information System™ (NIS™) can be used not only as a standalone system within the NICU; it can also be interfaced with the hospital-wide Electronic Medical Record to become part of the hospital's complete EMR solution. Another innovation from MEDICAL DATA SYSTEMS allows for real-time information that is immediately accessible for a variety of uses specific to Neonatology while melding with the changing IT solutions of the hospital.
In addition to information management and report generation, the NIS™ provides a sophisticated and robust system for data queries and analytical functions. This real-time statistical capability facilitates patient care decision support, quality improvement and clinical research. In aggregate, the NIS™ data is structured for regional and national clinical performance benchmarking.
