LGS Healthcare offerings
Advantages of Information Technology (IT) usage in different spheres of life have been seriously felt and enormous efforts are being made to bring up IT infrastructure. Comparatively, very less is being contributed towards development of IT infrastructures for health systems, although powerful health systems build healthy nations. Health systems which are a foremost sector should also go for IT usage resulting better productivity, effectiveness, efficiency and economics resulting improved health status.

The Indian healthcare industry has confined its use of IT to billing, inventory and other peripheral functions. Only a few hospitals and healthcare centers in India have gone ahead and implemented IT to support clinical functions and have vastly improved their care and efficiency in all the modules.

Hospital InformationManagement System
At LGS, We understand that every hospital is unique and has its own specific method of functioning, its own procedures and methodologies. That is why we have designed to incorporate the requirements of each individual medical institution. When you are ready to revolutionize the administrative system of your hospital, a specially designated Consulting Team headed by a Project Manager will study your requirements, analyze them and then proceed to design an application that moulds itself to the needs of your organization.

Hospital information management system (HIMS) for Government Hospitals
Implementing information technology in Government hospitals can make a lot of difference. In addition to a number of benefits accruing to the Government, medical fraternity and the patients, such measures could attract more people to Government hospitals.

Automating various functions help hospitals in handling large numbers of patients and help them in providing better patient care. Many of the reports that were traditionally generated manually consuming a lot of time, requiring lot of man power can be easily and timely generated with the help of automation. Various other reports, which are required for the Government, can now be generated easily.
With the help of simple tools like Electronic Patient Folders comprising of details of each visit at all locations will enable the doctors to have ready access to past episodes and information of the patient, thus ensuring efficient patient care.

Strategic IT plan to enhance connectivity for the Government Hospitals

Benefits for Patients
Since earlier records and case history are available readily, it results in better follow up and accurate diagnosis. Others point out that as the results can be accessed across the hospital, there is no replication of tests at various departments. This lowers costs, time and suffering of the patients care.

For Medical Staff
The automated system would give patient-related information in a single file with an easy to sort format. Since it is centralized, the clinical details can be retrieved whenever needed.

For the Government
The Government can keep track of disease outbreaks as well as the status of epidemics across the state. It also ensures better inventory control due to ready availability of stock status. Stock requisitions are made online with necessary approval, which increases efficiency and ensures proper control.
