This module facilitates the capturing of patient-related data at different entry points, enables queries at different workstations and generates reports at required frequency. The following details are part of this module:
This function of the Hospital Management Information System deals with registering new patients, for either OPD or IPD and issuing unique identification numbers to the patients. These numbers are unique throughout the system.
A patient can be registered either at the IPD front office or at the OPD reception. The OPD or IPD identification number is also created for each of the patient's separate visits. This also serves as a part of patient registration. The IPD/OPD ID is used for tracking the medical records of the patient for that particular OPD visit or IPD admission. All medical records of the patient are identified by a combination of numbers, i.e. Patient ID and OPD/IPD ID. The numbers allow for a flexible search in terms of finding the patient's history record.
IPD Admission and Ward Allocation
This function, Patient IPD Admission, facilitates the process of patient admission and the allocation of beds to patients. The system identifies the patient as either a new IPD patient, or an intern referred from hospital OPD/CMO. This function gives information on vacant beds in a hospital. Occupancy status on that particular position can be ascertained while allocating the bed. The main function, Patient Admission, facilitates the admission of patients according to requirements, considering the type of admission and the patient's condition. The admission of a patient can be direct, or be a referral from a consultant or hospital. The category of the patient can be Company, Self, Government Schemes, Insurance or MLC ,depending on which the admission procedure is completed. Once the patient is admitted to the hospital, the room charge starts from the time of admission. The case paper of the patient is printed from the system and is sent to the proper nursing station. Once the admission of the patient is completed, an IPD identification number is created by the system for that particular admission of the patient. The IPD Admit Card is also printed along with the case paper. The system informs, with audio visual alerts ,the respective nursing station of the admission of the patient under them, allowing them to prepare room for the patient. In the case of MLC, the system stores the details of the police station, as well as the name of the official informed about the Medical Legal Case.

Patient Transfer
This function of the Hospital Management System is to facilitate the transfer of a patient from one room to another within the hospital.
With this function, the patient’s actual position can be updated online so that internal functions such as billing, investigation and surgery can be planned. The position of the patient is very important since charges for surgery procedures and investigations are related to room category.
Deposits, Advances, Refunds, Discounts and Concessions
This function of the Hospital Management System facilitates all types of payments received from the patient. This function plays a vital role in payment recovery from patients throughout their stay.
The advances from the patient depend on the type of admission and the patient category is prompted by the system. The interim bill versus advances ratio is also maintained in order to carry out recovery planning.
Advances and deposits accepted by the billing/cash counter are directly posted into Accounts.
Refund cases are considered when excess advances have been paid. The accounts official authorizes this transaction, after which a refund is processed. In the case of company category patients, the ratio analysis between the interim bill and the amount stated in the authority letter from the company is compared for further action. If a patient is to be given a discount, then the amount is authorized and the discount is processed. The discount categories are flexible and can be changed by the administrator.
