Dear Dr Jyoti Ranjan
Most hospitals in India suffer from this problem...so your problem is not
unique.
There are over a few hundred players in hospital management/information
software in India. Unfortunately there are not many hospitals that have been
able to use information technology effectively to improve services. This is
because most of the vendors / developers of HMS in India dont just understand
healthcare automation.
( some of them will be contacting you directly to market thier products, these
guys use platforms like this discussion group to identify potential
clients..PLEASE BE ON YOUR GUARD !!)
Most of the available closed , proprietary solutions concentrate on the
financial and inventory management in hospitals and very little direct patient
related functionality such as Electronic health record or e prescribing. Most
of these Vendors will take you for an absolute ride !!!. ( This is from
personal experince)
Unless you are very clear of your requirements( what functions you would like
to have automated). DONT approach a vendor. Get someone to do a requirment
analysis for you and then see how much of the functionality is already
exisiting in Care2x or other OPEN source solutions.
The advantage of using Care2x / OPEN source solutions is that the source code/
design is available to you for you to see, modify and use based on your needs,
while in proprietary solutions the code or design is not available to you. So
you become a slave of the vendor , who will dictate terms everytime you require
some change or modification.
In otherwords if your vendor is trying to take you for a ride, you can always
dump them and get another person/ firm to continue with your automation. Most
hospitals in India are stuck with rudimentary solutions and having spend large
budgets, they simply cannot change the solution or solution provider.
Also beware of the semi-open solutions /vendors, these guys use open OS (
operating systems like LINUX, SOLARIS ) , programme using JAVA /J2EE ( open
source programming) , use open databases like MySQL/ Postgress , recommend
browsers like Firefox which gives the client a feeling of working in an OPEN
source environment..but mind you NONE of the CODE is OPEN ... they try to sell
you their solution on the USP of being OPEN and therefore cost effective, but
please remember that its neither OPEN nor COST effective.
if you require any further advise, please do feel free to contact me. We have a
whole list of Blacklisted vendors / solutions which I would be happy to share
with you, so that you will not have to go through the same struggle that we
have been through.
