Customization

Every hospital is unique and has its own peculiar functioning procedures and methodologies. It is therefore necessary to develop software to cater to these requirements. Accordingly a consulting team headed by a project manager will study the requirements, analyze them and then proceed to design an application specific to the organization.

Thin Clients: Most Economical & Secure Configuration

With a browser as the front end the client is very thin. The entire data is stored on one server. The hospital can acquire the most economically priced computers for the front end as they don't need any drives or software to run. A minimal RAM is required. The savings are phenomenal. The system becomes absolutely secure as no data resides on the clients. The moment a user sign's off the node becomes a dud box.

Reception is completely computerized and deals with

• Inpatient and outpatient registration and admission.

• Online bed allocation.

• Provide complete information about a patient to authorized visitors.

• Provide information regarding package deals for a patient for a fixed cost including company sponsored packages.

• Provide ready information about doctors and staff regarding scheduling and appointments.

• Health Cards.

• Insurance.

Data Security

All the data resides on the server. The client has only adequate software to run a browser. Each user has privileges granted to him/her by the administrator. He may use the system only after logging in and that too only to the extent that is needed by him and allowed to him. This ensures the information is available on a need to know basis. The software is so designed that it protects the system. Once a user has logged out that node cannot provide any information to anyone. 'Breaking in' is well neigh impossible when we are using oracle 9i.

The application will be designed with the browser as the front end and oracle 9i as the back end. This gives the most robust design. The entire data is stored and managed in one database.

Physical Security

The system lends itself to physical security because there is only one server to protect.

The system is a complete wizard for a doctor. Anything that needs to be done for, or to a patient can be ordered, planned and executed from the desktop of the examining doctor, and from one browser window. No new windows are opened and closed. No complicated training is required to use the software. Everything is self explanatory.

• Check the availability of blood in the blood bank for an operation.

• Book an OT with entire staff and equipment for an operation.

• Chat with a surgeon to ask him to execute a surgery.

• Admit and book a bed in a ward.

• Order any kind of investigation.

• Read the results of any kind of investigation.

• Read entire clinical history.

• Ask the opinion of another doctor on the case.

• Check availability of medicines.

• Prescribe medicines.

• Enter charges.

From the time the patient presents himself at the reception desk to the time he is discharged, every activity is recorded through a computer node on to the server. The same information about him, when needed is retrieved through a node from the server. There is no paper trail.

The reception is divided into two windows. One deals with registration of new patients and the other deals with providing help to the visitors.
