Automating
complex administrative, financial and
clinical processes in a hospital frees
the staff to spend more time on caring
for patients and extending the reach of
services from in-patient to out-patient,
to long-term care and even home care.
Access to information and the automation
of complex tasks and workflow is key to
not only making this work, but work efficiently.
CMC's
Hospital Management System does all this
at a very affordable cost — a very
important factor for government hospitals
that cater to the poor and are usually
starved of funds.

In-patients are directed to the respective
wards. |

The
wards module maintains in-patient
records. An in-patient may undergo
various tests and avail services such
as drug administration, diet administration,
surgical procedures, etc. The case
sheet is prepared and maintained by
this module. |

During
his / her stay in the hospital, a
patient may move from one ward to
another, ward to OT and back, ward

emergencies and accidents. |

of individual doctors' out-patient
and in-patient appointments. |

of the patient as well as the instructions
to the kitchen for preparation of
the diet. A distribution list is also
prepared.

tests and makes the results available
after verification. Reports can also
