Goal: The purpose of this study is to identify issues of current situation of the health information system in the health care facilities of Mongolia.Materials and Methods: A total 362 users as hospital directors, physicians, nurses, statisticians and IT workers of 105 health care facilities at primary, secondary and tertiary level participated in this study. Data collection methods were generated using a combination of questionnaires and in-depth interview of the users. The statistical analysis was carried out using the SPSS. Outcome measures were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CI).Results: The survey results were shown that a vertical health information flow regulates in the health sector, internal networks set up and H-info 2.0 software as routine data processing and insurance claims are used in the hospitals of Mongolia. Regarding of e-health software as Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE), Drug Information System (DIS), Laboratory Information System (LIS) and Radiology Information System (RIS), 82.6% of the health care facilities used only CPOE. There 50% of the existed e-health software is not integrated in the health care facilities. In the data management, 27.0% of the health care facilities that used e-health applications had no backup solution. 45.5% of total users said that the information technology human resource is insufficient. 70.0% of users responded as there did not any continues training program in health information technology. The study was determined lack of functions and difficulty of using the existed software and inadequate software operation and not user-friendliness are the causes of the most of dissatisfactions. Conclusions: A vertical health information flow, internal networks, routine statistic processing set up and mainly CPOE used in the health care facilities. However there is no integration of e-health software and lack of its capacity. It is required modern integrated health information system in the health sector of Mongolia.

Introduction: Rhodiola rosea L. (R.rosea) is a popular plant in traditional medicine of the Nordic countries, Eastern Europe, and Asia. R.rosea plants are successfully cultivated in Mongolia. The Botanical Garden of Medicinal Plants under the “Monos” Group started to cultivate R. rosea since May 2015. Objective: The aim of this research was to study the salidroside contents of R.rosea collected from Zavkhan and Khuvsgul province, Mongolia, and cultivated in the Botanical Garden of Medicinal Plants, Drug research Institute, Monos group. Material and Methods: The underground parts of wild roseroot plants were collected from April to May 2020 from Jargalant soum, Khuvsgul province, and Nomrog soum, Zavkhan province, 3-years and 4-years-old cultivated R.rosea gathered from the Botanical Garden of Medicinal Plants in April 2020. For comparison, 4-year-old Rhodiola grenulata (R. grenulata) was ordered from Shanxi Zhendong Genuine Medicinal Materials Development Co., Ltd, China, and used for the study. The quantity of the salidroside constituents of the underground parts were compared and the sourcing of roseroot raw material was evaluated. Chemical analysis of roots and rhizome of R. Rosea namely the appearance, identification, moisture, organic impurities, mineral impurities, residue on ignition, water-soluble extractives, fresh weight of roots, and salidroside content were determined according to the National Pharmacopoeia of Mongolia (NPhM) 2011. Microbiological analysis was performed in accordance with the requirements of grade 3b specified in Annex 1 of the Order No. A / 219 of the Minister of Health dated May 30, 2017 to determine the degree of microbiological purity in medicinal products of roots and rhizome raw materials. Result: The content of salidroside, the main biologically active substance of R.rosea plant, was 1.57% in samples collected from Zavkhan province, 1.45% in samples collected from Khuvsgul province, 1.7% in samples grown in China and 0.25% for 3-years-old samples and 1.89% for 4-years-old samples grown in the Botanical Garden of Medicinal Plants, Monos group, Mongolia. In addition, these raw materials meet the general requirements for plant raw materials and microbiological parameters. Conclusion Samples of underground parts of R.rosea cultivated for 4 years in the Botanical Garden of Medicinal Plants have the highest content (1.89%) of the salidrosde. Therefore, it is suggested that the roots and rhizomes of R.rosea planted in the future can be standardized and used as a raw materials for medicines.

Introduction: Helianthus tuberosus L. is main source of inuline in pharmaceutical and food industry. Pharmacological studies of the plant have showed some important therapeutic properties such as anti-diabetic, anti-osteoporosis, anti-cancer and strengthening cardiovascular system, immune system. Material and method: Helianthus tuberosus L., which has been cultivated in Botanical Garden of Medicinal Plants of Drug Research Institute, Monos Group, was used as a research raw material. The aerial and below ground parts of the plants were harvested in September 2020. The content of inulin, the main active ingredient in the plant, was determined by spectrophotometry. Raw materials of the plant were processed in several ways and prepared for further use as a pharmaceutical raw material. Result: Inulin content in Sample 1 was 34.5 ± 0.76%, Sample 2 was 70.31 ± 1.25%, Sample 3 was 78.43 ± 0.44% and Sample 4 was 75.36 ± 1.42%. The inulin content and yield were the highest in samples prepared by heat and cold cutting methods. Conclusion According to the results of appearance, yield, inulin content and moisture contents during the different processings of plant materials, it can be considered that the most suitable method for preparing Helianthus tuberosus L. as a pharmaceutical raw material is the cutting followed by freeze-drying.
