Hospital go green. discover 4 technologies that will revolutionizing hospitals operation into paperless hospitals

With Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health’s 2023 policy focused on advancing health data and technology for the public, the goal is to develop every hospital into a Smart Hospital through the use of digital technologies.


The objective of this policy is for hospitals to reduce paper usage and become Paperless Hospitals. So, how can hospitals achieve this?


Today, MEDcury will guide you through 4 technologies that can help hospitals transition to a Paperless Hospital in line with government regulations.


1. Health Information System (HIS)

The HIS system is a comprehensive digital data management and storage solution. This technology is a key enabler for achieving the goal of a Paperless Hospital.


Whether it’s patient records, lab results, or prescriptions, using HIS transforms everything previously on paper into online documents.


MEDcury recommends selecting or upgrading your HIS system to support current workflows and innovations. It should also be integrated into a single, unified system. Otherwise, you may still find yourself relying on paper documents.


2. Health Information Exchange (HIE)

Everyone is familiar with the process of transferring hospitals, which requires requesting medical history from the previous hospital. This involves a significant amount of paperwork for both patients and hospital staff.


The HIE system transforms this workflow by exchanging information digitally between hospitals. This allows healthcare providers to access patient data electronically without needing paper documents, greatly reducing paper usage.


3. Electronic Medical Record (EMR)


Most people have seen or handled large piles of paper medical records. Imagine how much paper hospitals use for patient records.


Switching to Electronic Medical Records (EMR) addresses this issue by moving medical data from paper to computer systems. This allows for easy access through electronic devices like computers and tablets, reducing paper use significantly and enhancing data management efficiency.


EMRs also prevent records from getting lost or damaged over time and eliminate the need for time-consuming searches.


4. Telemedicine

Hospital visits often involve a surprising amount of paper, including forms for patients to fill out and various documents such as personal information and test results.


Implementing Telemedicine effectively reduces paper usage by enabling patients to share information electronically and allowing hospitals to share data online without paper. Telemedicine also reduces hospital congestion, improves appointment management, and offers numerous other benefits.


So, what do you think of these digital technologies? Hospitals should definitely consider adopting them. Not only will they save paper resources and align with government policies, but leveraging technology to become a Smart Hospital can also optimize other resources and maximize operational efficiency.
