Capacity Management:

The Corona Pandemic has brought to limelight the shortfalls and limitations within our healthcare systems. One of the major shortfalls in our healthcare systems is that the state administrators or decision-makers are blind. Critical information about bed availability, oxygen availability or stock of drugs, etc. is not available in a user-friendly manner anywhere. There is no central or nodal agency that collects real-time data on usage and demand for healthcare assets and services.

CARE system is a platform that makes available real-time data of all subsets within the healthcare system of any identified location. This makes the management of assets within a hospital easier at the same time empowering the administrators and decision-makers to make better-informed decisions.

Patient Management:

Our public healthcare system runs on pen and paper. This leads to a multitude of issues like

·       Data lose

·       Wastage of time

·       Reporting becomes tedious

·       Analysis of large data becomes impossible

·       Communication of information is not efficient

·       Large manpower required for data collection and processing

With the digital patient management tool, the treatment given to patients are improved because:

·       Patient Data is securely stored

·       Patient gets continued care across different facilities because of seamless data sharing

·       Close and effective supervision from the administration

·       Patient also gets better access to their own medical records

·       Fetching data is quicker, easier and more accurate.
