60% Patient Care Improvement with Odoo HIMS Software

Patient data management can be a chaotic nightmare. Misplaced records, duplicated entries, and outdated information create a dangerous environment where medical errors and delays are far too common. However, a comprehensive HIMS (Hospital Information Management System) Software can change all that. Having a system tailored for healthcare can transform into streamlined efficiency.

Odoo Electronic Health Records (EHR)

A good Electronic Health Records (EHR) is the foundation of any clinic or Hospital management software. Hospitals and clinics use EHRs to store, manage, and access patient information efficiently, improving the quality of care and streamlining administrative processes.

This not only points to the significance of EHR systems, but also shows how choosing a terrible or outdated EHR can negatively affect the system.

Odoo provides an efficient and user-friendly platform to store, organize, and access critical patient data, such as medical history, diagnoses, and treatment plans. Here’s how it enhances each aspect of patient data management.

Laboratory Information System (LIS)

LIMS systems are essential for tracking samples from receipt through processing to disposal, automating workflows, and facilitating communication between different parts of the lab and with external stakeholders.

They also play a critical role in quality control, managing the vast amount of data generated, and providing insights through reporting and analytics.

Using Odoo’s suite of apps, we can further enhance the system making it more productive and efficient.

Streamlined Sample Management

Odoo can be customized to create a seamless workflow for sample management, from registration to storage. By integrating barcode scanning and RFID technologies, Odoo can automate the tracking and status updates of samples, reducing manual entry errors and improving the accuracy of sample handling.

Odoo allows you to easily assign barcodes to tests and assign them to patients fast and efficiently. This will keep a clear record, and reduce errors as well.

Efficient Test Processing

Labs can significantly enhance their test processing stages—spanning from the assignment of tests to specific equipment or personnel, scheduling, and recording results—by leveraging Odoo’s workflow engine.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this automation:

Test Order Entry

A clinician creates a test order (this could be within Odoo or an external system integrated with Odoo).

Order details include patient information, type of tests requested, specimen requirements, etc.

Automated Test Assignment

Based on the type of test(s), the workflow engine automatically assigns the tests to the appropriate laboratory department or specific equipment.

Speeding up Communication

Use Odoo’s messaging and discussion modules to facilitate communication among team members regarding test assignments and schedules. This feature can be integrated into the workflow, allowing for seamless updates and collaboration.

Implementing Alerts and Notifications

Set up notifications within the workflow to alert personnel when a test is assigned, when it is scheduled, and when results need to be recorded. This keeps everyone informed and ensures that tests progress smoothly through the pipeline.

Notifications can also be configured for equipment maintenance schedules or when supplies are running low, ensuring that there are no delays in testing due to equipment issues.

Pharmacy Management

Pharmacy management systems help reduce medication errors by providing drug interaction alerts, allergy checks, dosage recommendations, and preventing duplicate orders. But is it all? NO!

PMS seamlessly connects with other HIMS Software modules such as patient records, physician orders, lab results, and billing, creating a unified and accurate flow of medication-related information.

How can Odoo make PMS more effective?

Odoo can significantly enhance pharmacy management effectiveness through its comprehensive suite of applications and customization capabilities, particularly in the areas of Inventory Management and Patient Medication Profiles. Here’s how:

Inventory Management

Odoo’s inventory module can be configured for real-time tracking of medication stock levels. Pharmacies can set custom thresholds for each medication, triggering automatic alerts when stock levels are low or when specific medications are nearing their expiration dates.

Patient Medication Profiles

Comprehensive Records

Current and past prescriptions, known allergies, and any adverse reactions. Having such information at their fingertips allows pharmacists to offer personalized care, prevent adverse drug interactions, and recommend safer medication options.

Billing and Invoicing
