2020 has been a year of challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us into a new reality that demands thinking and acting in innovative ways, affecting not only how we operate professionally and personally, but also on the skillset required in this new environment. For many businesses, organisations and employees, the transition has been difficult.
The required shift in how we conduct business has translated into an increase in investment into technology with a focus on digitisation. It is now more critical than ever that we employ innovative technology to bring about smarter ways of working and reduced inefficiencies in current processes.
This is especially relevant in the healthcare sector as technological innovations become a key factor in managing additional pressures due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In an era where information is power and digitisation is king, Macrocomm iHealth has been partnering with leading global suppliers and investing in technology that aims to revolutionise the way we manage and utilise medical information. The Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a key component of Medical Informatics. Macrocomm iHealth Electronic Health Data platform based on a clinical workbench (CRiS Care), enables the recording of patient demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunisations, laboratory data and radiology reports. Included in this record, the EHR has the ability to generate a complete record of a clinical patient encounter as well as supporting other care-related activities directly or indirectly, including evidence-based decision support, quality management and outcomes reporting.
