2SPIRITUAL NEEDS ASSEESMENTIntroductionThe Health Management Information System (HMIS) is an important aspect of data reporting in the healthcare management. The latest global call for the increased accountability and the results-based management processes has seen many healthcare stakeholders adopting the HMIS. The data in HMIS is stored in the raw form and later transformed into information that is divided intodifferent entities. Its functionality, however, varies from one organization to another and it is used to collect routine information on patients, the patient costs, and medicine use among others. The CIO surveys have been used to promote general understanding and the direction of the HMIS industry [ CITATION Tannd \l 1033 ].The Importance of CIO Surveys for the HMIS Industryhave become an important component of the HMIS industry. They are the main promoters of the awareness and promote a general overview of the HMIS industry state. CIOs spend much of theirtime fostering innovative activities that revolve around the implementation of new technology and other business agendas (Tan, n.d.). The current economic environment faces challenges related to the planning, the implementation and the maintenance of the work systems. Therefore, the CIO surveys have been influential in promoting deep understandings of spending delays, reduced budgets as well as reduced resources for the health organizations while they are faced with an increased demand for the services from their service seekers.The survey results are very crucial in enabling the HMIS executives to device ways for the strategic improvement of their operations and improving their performance and service provision. The survey is also an important source for future growth examination and enhances information on the industry trends as well as the information technology (IT) factor and how it facilitates the efficiency in service provision and satisfaction to the patients.

3SPIRITUAL NEEDS ASSEESMENTThe Hardware Investment Required for HMIS in FutureThe successful operations of HMIS actually rely on the type of the hardware it is implemented from. The hardware is the main facilitator for efficiency and enhances operation ability and functionality of different systems. There are several types of hardware the HMIS industry could incorporate to become the part of their primary system. Some of them include the strong and fast running computers and electronic record system for the medical related cases. The HMIS also needs strong servers with an enhanced strong and quick internet connection that enables smooth operations such as the quick transfer of data from one point to another or one operations station to the other stations within HMIS system. In addition, the storage hardware needs to be large space enough to accommodate the database. The computer hardware needed must be very strong and powerful and able to run on all the available system applications that are related to the all clinical practices (Le Pape et al. 2017). This will enhance the efficiency and quick practice from the clinical point of view. The reliable internet connection is fundamental for the connectivity within an HMIS system and facilitates a good coordination between the sections. The internet also facilitates the running of the computer machines and their attached components such as the printers and the scanners. The main advantage of the internet which is provided through a central server is that it enhances connectivity and easier access to the system files as well as enhancing quick communication.From the general suggestions above, the main point that stands out that might be relevant for the future HMIS operations is the adoption of an electronic record system. From the full survey, there is a notable absence of the IT components. Most organizations do not prioritize the IT aspects as part of the organizational plan, and this limits their functionality. My personal conclusion is that IT should be an integral part of the HMIS for its projected future success.
