Adoption and use of new medical management Technology at the hospital level
Abstract
Background: In today's digital era, healthcare management has increasingly embraced technology. Hospitals have recently adopted new clinical IT systems, with healthcare professionals playing a pivotal and valued role in their implementation. The success of healthcare relies on seamlessly collecting, analyzing, and exchanging clinical, billing, and utilization data among hospitals. This exchange aims to improve knowledge sharing, cut administrative costs, and enhance care quality. A significant challenge is the enormous storage space that data requires to preserve and transfer between hospitals and insurance companies, as well as the lack of standardized protocols for hospital management and delivering high-quality patient services. Sudan, in particular, faces technology underutilization in hospitals and non-compliance with medical coding regulations. Addressing these issues requires implementing internationally recognized standards and specifications.
Objectives: This project aims to effectively leverage technology, offering healthcare practitioners and researchers a more efficient approach to adopting information management systems.
Materials and Methods: This includes utilizing the Open ERP (ODOO) system's Medical Code On Demand (SaaS) service to streamline the handling and transfer of extensive healthcare information.
Results: This system can enhance the efficiency and productivity of hospital staff. It is capable of generating reports that offered an overview of hospital transactions within a specific timeframe. Additionally, the system allowed users to search for patient details through the receptionist module. By reducing workloads, the system contributed to improved management and performance within the hospital. Overall, the study led to significant improvements in hospital operations and transactions.
Conclusions: Odoo Hospital Management is a groundbreaking solution for healthcare institutions. Its all-inclusive features, smooth integration, and emphasis on enhancing the patient experience make it a transformative tool in the industry. With Odoo, healthcare providers can optimize their operations, cut costs. By incorporating medical coding with Odoo, it creates an exceptional system that supports managers in effectively running their hospitals.
