As modern societies move toward generalized healthcare coverage and more governments
enact laws to protect individual data privacy, the management of information concerning
patients' coverage and medical history becomes increasingly complex. In addition,
the mobile nature of today's healthcare administration requires immediate information
access and total flexibility. Smart card technology comes through as the optimal
portable solution for information access, management and improved communication
among the various professionals involved in the administration of healthcare, while
providing the strongest security measures in the market today.
By allowing all participants in the healthcare system to access only the data that
they need, smart card solutions enable streamlined inter-organization communication
without compromising personal privacy. The simplification of processes and improved
identification, storage of information and communication resulting from the use
of smart card solutions leads to the achievement of the healthcare industry's eternal
objective: reduced administrative costs and improved quality of care.
As one of the pioneer smart healthcare solution provider, Explora has developed
and implemented smart card solutions for patient management system and hospital
employee management. Whether implementing one of these solutions independently or
together in the same scheme, Explora can customize a solution to customer specific
needs. With its wide range of application knowledge and experience in the healthcare
solution arena, Explora has the expertise to make any smart card solution a success.
We at Explora Infotech Ltd. have developed an Integrated Patient Management System,
which works in co-ordination with the management information system and specialized
diagnostic subsystems, which includes the laboratory systems. The system is suitable
for the computerization of patient data and facilitates the organization with the
reduction of administrative workload. In order to streamline the variety of requirements,
the system is divided into different modules, which makes the system highly flexible.
The system is a very powerful tool for patient management, pathology reporting,
attendance / payroll and accounting. The data from various modules flows seamlessly
into each other and all the final reports of the hospital are produced effortlessly.
Our system offers the option of integrating smart cards, as per the need expressed
by our client. Without proper security measures, the electronic storage and transmission
of such sensitive information can result in its unauthorized interception, manipulation
or receipt by unintended individuals - often with irreparable damage to the reputation
of the administration and the concerned individuals alike. Smart card is an evolution
in the healthcare administration, which increasingly moves from the physical to
the electronic world; it even bears the responsibility of ensuring the confidentiality
of individual patient information in all electronic communications.
Thus our system deals with all hospital processes via support from an electronic
patient file system, from the administration of patients through electronic requests
for tests and provision of results, to scheduling and statistical functions.
