One patient record, every department
Most hospitals do not start with one system. They start with a billing package, add something for the laboratory, buy a separate pharmacy program, and keep the medical records on paper. Each one works. Together they disagree, and the staff spend their day reconciling them.
TechMedizis a hospital information management system built the other way round. A patient is registered once and given a Unique Patient Identification Number. Every visit, admission, test, prescription and bill afterwards attaches to that number, so there is one version of the patient and one version of the day’s figures.
It is built by Mescope Solutions, an IT services company in Salem, Tamil Nadu, working with hospitals across the state and the rest of India.
What the hospital management system covers
Patient flow. Registration and UHID allocation, doctor-wise out-patient check-in with OP billing and prescriptions, and in-patient management from admission entry through room transfers to an ICD-10 discharge summary.
Clinical. A doctor module carrying patient history, prescription templates and the appointment app; a nurse station for ward availability, pharmacy requests and sample collection; and operation theatre booking with surgeon and anaesthetist mapping.
Diagnostics. Laboratory management from sample collection to released result, and radiology management with report templates, scan status tracking and PDF upload from external scan software.
Operations and finance. Pharmacy sales, multi store and purchase management, medical records with physical file tracking, and an integrated accounts module. These are covered in more depth on the hospital ERP page.
