The development of hospital management software and applications that guarantee integrated management allows the healthcare team to increase the effectiveness of its service, and therefore, patient satisfaction. One of the main characteristics to promote this maximum efficiency and quality of healthcare service is the modularity of technological developments. We analyze five advantages of using a modular system in a healthcare entity.
Connectivity and transversality
We speak of a modular tool when we define those applications composed of different areas (modules) that allow connectivity, communication, and complementarity between them to ensure effective networking. The modular system is, therefore, transversal by being able to integrate different functions telematically (administrative, clinical, documentary, functional, logistical...)
Standardized protocols
A modular system helps the entity standardize management protocols that staff can easily automate and develop in their daily work.
Scalability
Furthermore, modularity allows the development of a scalable management system, which takes into account the current needs of managers but also the new functionalities that may be incorporated in the future.
Adaptability
These modular management systems guarantee, in this way, adaptability and flexibility to the changing and continuously evolving needs of any healthcare center, thus providing personalized solutions based on their needs and integrating those modules that are required for daily management.
Security
Likewise, and about security (and cybersecurity when talking about smart hospitals), having a modular system also allows the possibility of establishing different accesses for each of the areas, so that the information is managed by the users responsible for each. One of the modules or departments, without interference by other agents in certain data, files, or information.
To achieve this, it is essential to maintain a long history of research and innovation on hospital management systems, so that all technological innovations that appear on the market are continuously incorporated. Today has more than twenty different modules and stand out for covering in a single application all the healthcare areas: from the dispensing of medications through the issuance of orders from mobile devices, to logistics and stock control, through the management of previous medical appointments from electronic devices and Hospital Management System Blog.
