Open Source Heaven

All industries are trying their best to be as paperless as possible. This means that they would want to use the least of paper document as possible. Paper is replaced by tablets and software that would be more efficient and effective for both the patient and the hospital or health care institution.

Healthcare software makes sure that the records of patients are not duplicated. For physicians, billings are important so they can be paid. In this system everything is organized and usually stored in a cloud. This means that anybody who has permission to open the files can do so from any place in the world.

What is it?

Imagine how many patients are there in a hospital in a day. Depending on the size of the hospital there can be fifty to several hundreds. All these individual patients have a lot of paper works. Notes from nurses, doctors orders, laboratory results like blood test, urinalysis, x-rays and MRIs are just some of the documents that are supposed to be carried around when the doctors check on their patient. With healthcare software, all these can be viewed with a use of a tablet or a computer device. The patient’s record and all those things that are needed for a better patient assessment will be ready at hand. This is one solution for the mounting number of documents on the stockroom of every hospital. Continue reading this a medical record system that can give the patient the medical history.

Advantage of having it

One of the advantages of having software is that it consolidates all information in one file. It is updated every time there are laboratory results or doctor’s orders that needs to be implemented. It also gives an accurate billing based on all the things that are made to the patient. There are some programs that use clouds to keep files of patients; this can help the doctor monitor all procedures and results that are done to the patient hence giving them a better assessment of the illness of the patient. Also because it is on cloud, the doctor can access it anytime anywhere provided he has the permission to do so. There is no duplication of files and no unnecessary repeat of laboratory diagnostics. In paper documents, when a document is transferred from one department to another sometimes it gets lost or destroyed in the process. In having software this is eliminated. Some of the doctor’s order are immediate, with a software, all departments that are involved in the order would be able to prepare for any procedure the patient needs.
