The purpose of any hospital management software or HMS is not to facilitate end users only, but having hospital management software i.e. HMS has a larger perspective. Hospitals can operate and many hospitals do operate without any hospital management software with significant compromise on data accuracy, information to corporate and line management, efficiency and productivity.
Although there could be dozens of examples, but we will discuss two areas, first patient billing. Accuracy is patient billing cannot be expected in any manual working or with software which does not operate with integration to other work domains. Patient bill is a sum up of many transactions, like room/bed charges, medicines cost, lab and radiology services cost, consultants visits and many other charges which are applied on daily basis or as and when services to the patient is provided.
An integrated HMS is operated interfaced with all functional domains of the hospital which supplements an updated patient bill all the time to extract in a hassle freeway.
Second example is inventory management, which involves substantial funds of any hospital. Right from procurement till the consumption of medicines and other items require adequate management. Any slackness in this activity can cause misappropriation of inventory at the warehouse, pharmacy or any other department/ward. Processes must be well defined and streamlined relevant to inventory to avert a situation where items are not available or stocked in excess involving funds. Similarly, its issuance, consumption or sale should also be managed effectively with workflow and electronic signatures for procurement and issuance.
