KUALA LUMPUR: INGENUITY SOLUTIONS BHD [] is taking a leap to improve the local healthcare industry with the proposed integrated hospital information system (HIS), interlinking hospitals and clinics and data collection of patients in Malaysia to the ministry.
The company had on Thursday, May 5 signed a collaboration agreement with Advance Healthcare Information Systems Sdn Bhd and Advance Health Care Solutions AG to submit the plan to the Health Ministry.
Ingenuity Solutions CEO Ahmad Ruslan Zahari said: 'Today, we are taking a giant leap towards improving our local healthcare industry with the signing of the proposed interlinking system for all healthcare centres including hospitals and clinics.'
He said the HIS would ensure more systematic data collection system of patients as well as management systems for hospitals and clinics. The system would ensure that all the necessary procedures become more convenient for hospital or clinic staff, as well as to provide more efficient services to the patients.
Here's how the plan would work:
Each patient's complete medical record will be stored in the Integrated HIS and these records will be accessible and updated accordingly by any healthcare facilities that are connected to the system.
With this system in place, all patients need to do is to complete an auto registration during their visit to any healthcare centres, and all their data and records will be automatically entered and recorded into a central system.
Healthcare facilities would be able to share patients' information and avoid the unnecessary repetition of tests, as well as to allow doctors to provide better and quicker judgment or diagnosis on the patient's condition.
One main advantage would be that a doctor will be able to have some patient history including medication sensitivity to base his diagnosis on in the event of an emergency or where the patient was delivered unconscious or in the case of new patients. Another advantage is the prevention of patients collecting dangerous medication/drugs at multiple healthcare centres.
In addition, the data collected would be an excellent resource for national statistics and reports and will help serve as a disease or epidemic outbreak alert system, if there are any patterns of illnesses indicating a suspected endemic.
