In Patient (IPD), Wards & ICU Management

Med2TEC’s In Patient Management Module is a dynamic combination of EPM (Electronic Practice Management) and EHR (Electronic Health Records) which is designed to facilitate hospitals’ wards management, patient care and billing practices. It simplifies every step of the inpatient admissions, bed allotments, treatments, transfers and discharge of patients and enables more effective use of beds, staff and other clinical resources.

Hospital’s In Patient services usually cover a large portion of the total hospital functions. The Ward rounds are where all clinical decisions happen, including diagnosis and treatment. However, it is normally a challenge for doctors and medical staff to pull all information about the patient and from various departments together for informed decision-making.

The module provides real-time information on empty and filled beds, doctors’ shifts and staff and nurses deployments. Processes such as clinical ward rounds are streamlined as medical, nursing and health professional staff can access the information via tablet PCs or PDAs at the bedside. The integrated In-patient module is capable of providing most up-to-date EHR (Electronic Health Records) right at the patients’ bedside which makes doctors and nurses work much easier and efficient than a manual system. Online information such as vital signs, assessment, status and medication make the use of paper for the patient chart and patient notes redundant and therefore makes the process more efficient, auditable, less error prone and more effective.

Med2TEC’s financial and billing features enable the hospitals to track and record all information relating to the costs and resources utilized by the patient during their stay. This includes room usage as well as medical and nursing care, pharmacy items, telephone costs, meals etc. facilitating the tedious accounts and remittance tasks following each admission. The extensive financial reports can be used when organisations are reviewing their services, trading accounts and implementing any planned cost improvement or reduction programs.

The computerized inpatient/ward management system provides hospitals the ability to bring a significant change in personnel’s work patterns and direct patient-care activities. Errors in carrying out physicians' orders are significantly reduced. Cost of the system is effectively offset by improved staff effectiveness. If the decision is to increase the efficacy of treatment given in the hospital, the ward information-management system provides the ability to improve care on a constant basis without personnel increases.

The web-based system effectively connects IPD/Ward staff to relevant departments such as Pharmacy, Lab & Radiology. For example, medicine information from the pharmacy is available to ward staff for in-patients so that nursing staff can dispense the right medication to the right patients at the right time. The electronic medicine record holds a complete history of current, discontinued and ongoing medication.

By integrating with other hospital systems, the Inpatient Module enhances communication among healthcare providers, improves the accuracy of medical records, and optimizes resource utilization.
