How does Aster@Home achieve optimal healthcare outcomes through the use of digital tools?

HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEM (HIS)

BETTERMENT OF PATIENT CARE

At Aster@Home we have created a dedicated Health Information System (HIS). The HIS collects and saves patients’ information, including diagnosis reports, medical history, treatment information plans, test results, etc. It provides a complete and orderly framework that helps healthcare providers (doctors, nurses and other personnel interact with their patients in a better way and eventually deliver care to them in a more efficient way.

CIRCUMVENTION OF MEDICAL ERRORS

Because processes on HIS are automated and a lot of tasks are assigned to the software to perform with utmost accuracy and with minimum human intervention, the scope of error is reduced drastically. As a result, various medication errors can be avoided and patients’ safety can be ensured.

SAVING TIME AND MONEY

By making all the patients’ information computerised, paperless and patient care activities automated, the HIS saves a significant amount of time in making patient care seamlessly effective and efficient.

MOBILE APPLICATION

EASE OF ACCESSIBILITY

In the next phase of digitisation, Aster@Home shall be incorporated in the already existing Mobile Application called 1Aster. This step would ensure that patients have easier and faster access to the services offered by Aster@Home. With this, patients can book appointments with doctors or register for laboratory sample collection at home, etc., in a hassle-free manner.

TELE CONSULTATION

Through the mobile application, Aster@Home shall incorporate Tele consultation features as part of the Doctor-On-Call service. This would help in a quicker and easier way to reach out to a doctor for consultation.
