Innovative System For Clinical Patient Information

By Bob Hop


The advent of ehealth software and globalization in a technologically driven world has made speed, accuracy, and reliability of great essence where time is concerned in service provision. Creation, availability and dissemination of information through emerging EHS has taken center stage in clinical practice. Long gone are days when identifying, tagging or locating patient information was like searching for the proverbial needle in the haystack!

It is important to mention that the levels of care and service delivery in public and private healthcare centers are so high. This is due to important changes of how medical staffs take care of patients that have been brought by excellent information integration systems. Things such as making decisions and improvement of patient health results have seen advancements caused by modern systems of web- based clinical information introduced by clinicians.

The operations of these systems are made to coordinate with how the medical staffs go about their work which is calculated to embrace immediate practice changes the moment they take place. Now, doctors and nurse do not have to search through multiple systems in order to get pertinent information on patients because this is made possible by system integration. Retrieving information has been made easy by a single sign on view.

Clinical staff do not need to be logged in and out of multiple systems just to track and access pertinent information on patients. With system integration, it is possible to access EHS via various mobile digital devices such as Android and iPad. This has the major advantage of improving patient's outcome because it inculcates a culture of informed decision making.

In a diverse working environment where the different parts or components are meant to operate as a single unit, this proven and tested system of clinical information has brought integration. Operations are quickened and made more efficient by this time saving tool of workforce management which is so ideal. For several years now, it has been successfully implemented in both private healthcare organizations and public hospitals.

Human based systems and operations are diminishing in importance and are being replaced with ehealth software in management procedures. By tracking and recording patient's progress, EHS expedites processes such as gathering important pre-admission information for patients and documenting the medical bio data. While treatment is on, it facilitates easy tests and ordering procedures besides automating care instructions based on risk assessment, and easing discharge planning so that summaries of discharge can be forwarded ahead to general practitioners.
