Making an Appointment and Doctor Scheduling.
An appointment to see the doctors and consultants is taken care by the Hospital Information Portal that enables the Front Office staff to fix appointments for the doctors in all the available departments on a daily basis or over a period of time. The appointment can be direct by telephone, e-mail or SMS.
The Scheduler  gives the visibility of the appointments fixed in different views that enables the vision of all appointments by the doctor, support staff as well as the management team.

Electronic Patient Record
The Electronic Patient Record Module (EPR) unifies information related to the patient in an electronic form, this information can be displayed in different views, graphical, in tables etc. to help care givers provide the best service to the patient. The Electronic Patient Record is integrated with other Hospital Information Systems to provide a single view on all information relating to the diagnosis, treatment and after care of the patient.  The life indications – blood pressure, pulse etc. – are regularly and automatically entered into the forms.
Historic information can be quickly retrieved for comparative studies. Review functionality allows important information to be combined into a single table.
The Electronic Patient Record can be exported into standard formats, PDF, JPG for inclusion into other platforms or general distribution.

Patient Diagnosis
The decision making process involved in patient Diagnosis uses both the form and the route.  Any automated decision making can be bypassed or changed at any stage by the care giver.  The care giver must explain the reason for changing the diagnostic process by adding a comment into the form.

There is a tick list to act as a reminder for the user.  The case cannot be forwarded to surgery for example until all boxes have been ticked.

If more information is required to make a decision this can be requested by a tick box.

Behind each tick we can configure different rules, for example schedule an appointment for the patient to take a test or look up existing data from another system.

The form can then manipulate the data and display it in different ways to help with the diagnosis. Workflow can then make decisions based on this data.  For example suggesting the course of treatment or allocation the case to specialists.

The data from many of the laboratory systems will be entered directly into the form.

Image documents can also be added as part of the form.  This may have advantages later if it is required to view the case with a mobile device, PDA, tablet or Mobile Phone.

A user can attach a document at any time to the form. Documents can be viewed by clicking on the file name.  This will then call an application on the PC, Word for example or a general purpose viewer.
