Abstract: This research work aims to provide recommendations for designing essential datasets based on relevant performance indicators for tertiary level and specialised hospitals in Mongolia. A systematic literature review was done to find out what experiences and innovations from the selected countries can be adopted in Hospital Information Systems (HIS) in Mongolia, so as to bypass years of struggles. It employs Nolan’s growth model to describe HIS adoption in Mongolia and to generate stage-specific recommendations for further HIS development. An objectives hierarchy framework was used to identify operational and some of higher level objectives that are for tertiary hospitals, thus respective indicators and datasets were proposed to monitor hospital performance towards above objectives. It suggests potential sets of quality indicators and the respective datasets to be adopted in tertiary hospitals. It is found that computer based HISs in Mongolia are at “expansion or contagion” stage according to Nolan’s growth model, and on the way to next stage “formalization or control”. This paper also recommends “essential datasets approach” could be a choice of handling current issue – number of parallel projects and initiatives, aiming to develop complete computer based HIS or “paperless hospitals”.
