A healthcare ERP is a specialized solution designed and developed to meet the specific needs of the healthcare industry. Some major differences between traditional ERP for other industries and healthcare ERP include the following,
Healthcare ERP software provides a comprehensive overview of all the operational information at medical organizations. This platform also provides intuitive visualizations of this data with analytical insights. Both enable providers and senior administrators to make informed decisions to improve all workflows’ efficiency and productivity. Improving overall productivity eventually resulted in better patient experiences and lowered overhead for hospitals and clinics.
A healthcare ERP allows healthcare organizations to deploy and utilize their resources optimally. Furthermore, it also provides important insights that enable senior managers to lower their operational overhead. These factors eventually result in increased productivity, lower wastage, and better management of all existing resources.
Hospitals and clinics that use a healthcare ERP solution can achieve better cost-based optimization in the long run. In addition to the direct cost benefits, using an ERP enables organizations to serve patients better and improve engagement. This goes a long way in building patient loyalty and ensuring patients don’t change their providers. All of these benefits improve the financial management and revenues of healthcare organizations.
Yes, healthcare ERP systems are developed with compatibility in mind. Companies specializing in healthcare software product development ensure that ERP solutions can exchange data with medical records systems seamlessly. Customized healthcare IT solutions can also enable hospitals and clinics to implement and integrate ERPs with existing systems. The ability to exchange data enables organizations to leverage the full benefits of ERP software.
Yes, healthcare ERPs can support medical organizations in complying with evolving healthcare regulations. The role of such solutions is to gather and present data from all the operations at hospitals or clinics. This enables the clinical and administrative staff to know existing protocols and workflows and maintain audit trails for all activities. So, the management can assess all processes and make suitable changes to match regulations.
Without an ERP solution, the organization must manually analyze which activities must be adjusted to suit regulations. This is slow, cumbersome, and prone to oversights, which could unintentionally result in non-compliant activities.
Yes, there is plenty of room in healthcare ERP systems to meet the unique needs of organizations. Companies offering healthcare consulting and product development services can assess the needs of organizations and build ERP platforms accordingly. This enables the customers to prevent unnecessary costs and have a platform according to their needs, speeding up its acceptance among the staff.
Some of the core modules of medical ERPs include –
An ERP includes several security features for ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive medical information
Healthcare ERP solutions include features for supply chain management and inventory management. The former enables organizations to track inventories, make procurement orders, manage suppliers, evaluate costs, and ensure that the items arrive on time. The inventory management feature allows institutions to monitor and track the quantity of items their expiration dates, and assess the amount required. Both features help to facilitate supply chain management, inventory control, and procurement of medical supplies.
A healthcare ERP uses interoperability standards like FHIR and HL7 that define common standards and formats for data exchange. Furthermore, ERPs use APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to ensure seamless exchange of information between different modules. APIs are bridging software that allows two or more systems to connect and exchange data.
One of the best ways to handle growing data loads is to migrate to the cloud. This allows organizations to acquire additional storage and processing capabilities without spending on physical hardware. The cloud services providers would provide ad-hoc storage and hosting services as required.
Another way of accommodating growing data needs is to implement load balancing. This distributes the user requests and processing across multiple servers. Doing so prevents one server from becoming a point of failure. Other techniques include data scrubbing and deduplication, which removes outdated and redundant data.
A standard protocol in healthcare technology is to have backups of existing data and keep creating backups regularly. The backups are usually stored at a remote location or on a cloud so that they may be safe from any disaster that might happen at the primary location. Government regulations dictate these measures and must be followed by all organizations that handle sensitive medical data. The backups are used in disasters like natural calamities and unforeseen system failures.
