|
| |
The main goal of each Healthcare Institution in a highly controlled & competitive environment is to reduce operating costs while maintaining a consistently acceptable level of patient treatment. |
| |
|
| |
Reduce operating costs at all levels: |
| |
|
 |
Cost of healthcare Professionals. |
|
Cost of lab equipment & consumables. |
|
Cost of pharmaceuticals / medical material. |
|
Cost of a treatment per Diagnosis related grouping (DRG) . |
|
Cost per type of medical intervention (e.g. specific medical operation). |
| |
|
| |
On the other hand, an acceptable level of patient treatment involves: |
| |
|
|
Evidence based medicine, accurate diagnosis and efficient treatment. |
|
On time admittance in the Hospital and healthcare treatment. |
|
Treatment with respect for the Patient- analysis of options. |
|
Reduction of risks during treatment (e.g. related to the use of medicine, biomedical equipment, blood transfusions). |
|
Capture of medical history of the patient in order to support evidence based medicine. |
| |
|
| |
Moreover, goals of each Healthcare Institution are: |
| |
|
|
Reduction of medical errors and exposure of the patient to medical hazards (e.g. inappropriate levels of radiation). |
|
Support medical research with patient & treatment data . |
|
Participate and support a larger Healthcare system, with the exchange of medical information on a patient, as well as statistics on population morbidity & mortality. |
| |
|
| |
In Private Healthcare, the excellent Patient service is critical to Customer retention & loyalty and business growth. |
| |
|
| |
In order to achieve these goals, each modern Healthcare system aims to enhance its Organizational capability with the introduction of standard business processes, standard healthcare treatment based on standardized healthcare interventions. Medical information management is supported by the introduction of information systems aligned to the standardized processes as well as the introduction of classifications or codifications of certain information types like diseases (based on ICD), medical interventions, lab exams, biomedical equipment & consumables. Hospital information systems (HIS) are used to capture and process all information related to the administrative as well as the medical aspects of a patient event. A patient record is created which stores all the patient history, structured per event. |
