novaNEWS Infocomm Technology Innovations in Healthcare
One of the innovations developed by novaHEALTH was a project for Singapore’s National Skin Centre to allow doctors to do away with the reliance on pen and paper. The system provides a toolkit which allows users to describe patients' conditions diagrammatically with precise location of the clinical findings in electronic form. All annotated charts are integrated with the centre's Electronic Medical Record and retrievable during consultations. The project has led to better patient care because doctors can now record more accurate information to chart the progress of skin disorders. The project also sought to establish diagnosis
and treatment protocols by correlating physical findings and
treatment plans for improved disease management.
The toolkit was developed on top of VESALIUS-CMS (Clinical Management System) that was deployed in the centre. __________________________________________________________________________________ Please direct all queries related to this article to Marketing at enquiry@nova-hub.com __________________________________________________________________________________ |
