Hospitals, being large organizations, accumulate vast amounts of data. Manual data collection inevitably leads to errors or duplication and can slow down operations.
A Health Information System (HIS) is a crucial tool that simplifies hospital operations. However, older HIS systems may no longer meet the demands of current practices. MEDcury will explore why hospitals should consider upgrading their HIS now.
1. Enhanced Data Storage Efficiency
Since the implementation of HIS, all hospital data—ranging from medical records to administrative information—has been stored within a centralized system rather than physical documents. This shift not only simplifies data retrieval but also enhances data security and reduces the risk of data loss or damage.
However, as new medical services and innovations emerge, existing HIS systems may not support these changes. Adding supplementary data storage systems or reverting to paper-based records are temporary fixes that do not integrate data into a unified system.
Upgrading to a new HIS improves the ability to connect data across departments effectively, providing a more sustainable solution.
2. Improved Staff Efficiency
With all data consolidated in a single system (Single Source of Truth), staff no longer need to waste time searching for information across various manual sources. This increases efficiency and allows them to focus on more valuable tasks.
Furthermore, with interconnected network systems, hospital staff across different departments can see a unified view and align their work. This leads to better communication and coordination, resulting in more effective operations.
3. Enhanced Hospital Management Efficiency
Data related to hospital management, such as personnel records, patient volumes, financial transactions, inventory of medicines and supplies, and medical equipment, are summarized from a single, up-to-date database.
This eliminates confusion within the organization and allows executives to use this information for strategic planning, operational management, and resource allocation.
4. Improved Quality of Patient Care
A well-managed hospital with a cohesive strategy and seamless inter-departmental coordination leads to improved patient care. Patients benefit from greater convenience and faster treatment.
These reasons highlight why hospitals should reassess their HIS to ensure it meets modern service demands, evolving patient needs, and emerging technologies.
MEDcury, we have developed MEDHIS, a versatile hospital information system that can be installed both On-Cloud and On-Premise. This flexibility accommodates digital-era online operations and supports data integration across different branches, as well as connectivity with other systems or databases from both public and private sectors.
