6 Software Solutions Every Healthcare Organization Must Have

Healthcare Solutions

As the world gets increasingly technologically connected, the healthcare industry has not been exempt. Today healthcare has become much more efficient, prompt and connected because of the technological support it has. Healthcare software is actually a highly specialized branch, often customised according to industry needs.

Today there is plenty to choose from healthcare software. Not only are there a number of competing companies in this sphere, there are also different softwares. Some of these may seem unnecessary, but are essential for the smooth running of any healthcare organization today. Moreover, as the health industry becomes more and more technically equipped, being technically proficient is no longer a choice.

These are our picks for essential software for the healthcare industry:

Electronic Health Record:

EHR is used predominately to keep the health records of patients. However, EHRs have evolved to be far more than simple information vaults. These come with plethora of other tools like scheduling, note taking, prescriptions and connectivity to labs and chemists. In fact, today we also have mobile EHR that has made healthcare portable and instantly accessible. Since this is on the mobile, it can also be called healthcare on the go.

Networking software:

Healthcare organisations are part of a giant network. There are labs, specialists, pharmacies, insurance companies, medical equipment companies and so on. Then there are the patients both regular and new. This also means a massive networking of dates, meetings and scheduling. Networking software is essential for establishing these connections. Networking software with specialists and labs is also used for medical purposes, such as getting prompt results and consultations. In many cases networking software can be critical to save lives, such as the networking required in critical cases where organ donation can save a life. Or the networking of emergency services.

User interface software:

A hospital website could be just its online presence. A simple statement of its purposes, aims, functions and specialties. But modern hospitals have gone several steps further. Today hospital websites are valid user interaction portals where patients can books appointments, find out about their test results and even avail online consultations.

Management software:

Beyond the healthcare functions, large organisations like hospitals also represent a massive management challenge. A typical hospital employs hundreds of employees, liaisons with government authorities, specialists and a number of commercial entities. Then there is the day-to-day running of a massive organization and managing its finances. All this means a comprehensive management software that is designed to be used by healthcare organisations.

Medical software:

This is non-negotiable! Many medical softwares today are an intrinsic part of large healthcare organization, such as software required to run medical equipments or to get quick results from medical tests. No modern hospital can run without these.

Medical research:

Healthcare organisations like labs and research organisations thrive on research into diseases and medicines. Today such research is not just dependent on lab work but also on software that is essential for recording, testing and calculating various results.

The objective of writing this post is to focus more on technology for better patient engagement solutions and healthcare systems.
