There are numerous other benefits of having an HMS. Managing patient data becomes easier as records are stored in a centralized location. Patient records can be accessed and retrieved quickly both by doctors and administrative staff. Hospitals have a mandate to store all the patients’ records owing to regulatory drivers. As HMS systems are integrated with Insurance providers, claims settlements are faster. It is scalable and can easily accommodate futuristic expansion plans of the hospital without having to increase human resources. All these factors have led to an increase in the satisfaction level for patients and lower costs for patients, payers, and hospitals.
The other key departments in the hospitals are Pharmacy, Laboratory, and HR. The Hospital Management System should be able to connect these departments and help in the smooth functioning of these.
