Nurse Station

 

 

  • This system has five main functions namely; Results, Consumables, Patient's bill and Ancillary Request.

    -Results (viewing only) - laboratory and x-ray results are very important in determining patients’ medical status, medical treatment should not be delayed by the reason that the patient’s result was not yet forwarded to the nurse station. With this system the doctor can now view and print patients’ lab and x- ray result directly from the said departments thus making medical treatment fast and accurate.

    -Consumables - accurately bills patients' accountabilities.

    -Patient's Bill (viewing only)- billing is very important both to patient and the hospital. Patients are always eager to know how much his accountabilities are, but sometimes the billing department is too busy to accommodate every patient’s query. With this system patients are able to inquire their accountabilities from the nurse station any time of the day, this is a real time bill, and the station has access for viewing and printing but not editing.

    -Ancillary Request - in the hospital, patients' medical treatment should be fast and efficient. In this module the nurse can automatically forward request on different ancillaries for fast action of request.

    -May Go Home - most hospitals experience lost of income thru patients’ intentional dishonesty, with this system the nurse can click may go home button which would command all the ancillaries to stop charging anything on the account of the patient thus seizing services and consumables rendering to the patient.

Return on Investment
Healthcare providers are being forced to streamline operations through more efficient and cost effective office procedures. Automating these tasks results in time, material and labor savings, providing a positive return on your investment. The (HIMS) Hospital Information & Management System was designed to eliminate as many time-consuming tasks as possible, with features such as Automatic Posting, Re-billing and Electronic Billing, Automatic request to ancillaries.

  • If your staff spends even 10 hours a week posting Phil. Health or HMO payments, Automatic Posting can bring that down to 1 hour a week.
  • Electronic Billing eliminates postage and materials costs, minimizes errors, speeds up payments and greatly reduces claim submission costs.
  • Re-billing is efficiently accomplished with a click of the mouse.
  • Unlike other medical systems, the billing detail of our open item accounting is not removed at the end of the month, eliminating down time during end of month closes.
