Clinic Management Information System: 6 Key Benefits
A clinic information system shortens waits, removes re-registration, tidies medical records and tracks drug stock. Six benefits for running a clinic well.
Indonesia Artikel looks at the benefits of implementing a clinic management information system, including the following:
Shorter queues for patients
Patients wait less. To see the doctor they want, patients can register online without having to arrive at the clinic much earlier. They come in only when their queue number is close, so they do not spend long hours at the clinic.
No need to register again
Patients do not have to re-register or fill in a registration form. Those who register online can enter their personal details on their own devices instead of filling in a form at the clinic. The data goes straight into the patient's electronic medical record, so there is no need to register again.
Tidier medical records
With a clinic information system, medical records are tidier and no records room is needed. Conventional medical records require a room to store the paper files. Electronic medical records are integrated with the clinic management information system (SIM Klinik), so no special storage room is needed, since the database is stored in the cloud (internet).
Doctors can follow up with patients through teleconsultation
The teleconsultation feature integrated with the clinic information system lets patients report their condition after seeing the doctor. Patients do not need to come back to the clinic and can do the follow-up from home. The doctor can advise whether to continue or change the medication.
Electronic prescriptions
Clinics with a pharmacy can connect electronic prescriptions from the doctor's office to the pharmacy, so the pharmacy can access prescriptions quickly and accurately. Electronic prescribing also cuts paper use and is more environmentally friendly.
Real-time access to drug inventory
Inventory of drugs and consumable supplies can be monitored through the clinic information system. When stock runs low, you can order more from your drug distributor. This monitoring should prompt you to place orders promptly so that drug stock does not run out.
