When evaluating whether or not a Full Enterprise Resource Planning is right for your hospital, consider these 6 Benefits discussed in a recent article by Healthcare Global:
- Patient information, data archives and supply chain information can be integrated and managed better
- Systems can be standardized with a common data dictionary to reduce duplication of effort and reduce errors
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM) results in cost savings, income generating opportunities and better patient service
- Significant efficiency is realized from Electronic Health Records (EHR) over manual charting. Information can be forwarded to other care givers more efficiently and storage is dramatically reduced.
- Care plan and treatment plans can be significantly improved with all systems working together in harmony.
- Considerably better financial controls because information is centralized, integrated and more accessible to everyone concerned.
The article points out that there are still some hurdles to be overcome before successful implementations become the norm in hospital environments. They point to the following issues that must be addressed:
- Resistance to change by users who have been using manual systems throughout their entire career in health care
- Choosing the right software and integrator
- Proper planning and maintenance of current systems while the Enterprise Resource Planning system is being implemented.
They summarize their concerns with “A faulty implementation and a bad choice can have disastrous consequences, since when saving lives are concerned there is zero room for error.” Belmero Inc.
