Shahu Maharaj Hospital, located in Jalgaon, is a multi-specialty healthcare institution serving a population of over a million people.
Known for its commitment to providing high-quality, accessible healthcare, the hospital faces the ongoing challenge of managing a high patient volume, ensuring operational efficiency, and maintaining regulatory compliance.
To address these challenges, Shahu Maharaj Hospital implemented the Uttercode HMS (Hospital Management System), an end-to-end healthcare solution specifically tailored to optimize hospital workflows, patient management, and data security.
Challenge
Before implementing Uttercode HMS, Shahu Maharaj Hospital encountered several issues that impacted its efficiency and patient satisfaction:
Manual Record-Keeping:
Patient records and billing processes were manually handled, leading to errors, delays, and loss of crucial patient information.
Inefficient Appointment Scheduling
Scheduling was cumbersome, with frequent double bookings and long patient waiting times.
Data Security Concerns
Without a secure digital platform, sensitive patient data was at risk, leading to potential confidentiality issues and compliance challenges.
Inventory Management Difficulties
The hospital’s pharmacy and medical inventory lacked real-time tracking, causing delays and occasional stockouts of essential supplies.
Resource Allocation Challenges
Inefficient management of medical resources such as staff schedules and operating rooms impacted patient flow and overall service quality.
Solution: Implementing Uttercode HMS
To address these challenges, Shahu Maharaj Hospital chose Uttercode HMS. This solution offered an integrated suite of features, including patient management, appointment scheduling, billing and accounting, inventory control, and data security—customized to meet the hospital's specific needs.
Patient Management Module:
Consolidated patient records digitally, ensuring secure storage and easy retrieval. This also reduced manual errors and saved time for healthcare staff.
Appointment Scheduling System
A robust, automated scheduling system that allowed patients to book appointments online and receive SMS notifications. This minimized double bookings and significantly reduced wait times.
Billing and Accounting
The billing module streamlined patient billing, allowing for quicker, more accurate transactions and offering transparency for both patients and staff.
Inventory Management
Uttercode HMS tracked real-time inventory for medical supplies and pharmaceuticals, ensuring that the hospital maintained adequate stock levels and minimizing the risk of stockouts.
