Key challenges in integrating IT into the Indian health care system:
- Lack of standards in Healthcare IT due to varied functionality requirements in hospital to hospital
- Lack of in-house IT domain knowledge
- Integration and cost effectiveness
- Reluctance of medical, nursing and other staff to adjust to change
- More reliability on paper based systems
- Lack of proper vendor support
- Akhil Systems has faced almost all of the above challenges in past two decade’s enriched experience in healthcare only. It has tackled these challenges in very effective manner. For example; there is lack of standardisation in healthcare IT but through 20 years of experience, the company has almost included all the technical and functional requirements learning from the hospitals (especially in India) itself and above all the company’s solution is so flexible that it can provide customisation as much as possible as per hospital requirement. Akhil also provides champion training to hospital IT staff to master the application. Till date, it provides almost all major integrations through HL7 compliance. It prepares a plan in such a manner that would enable it to be implemented in a very short period as much as possible and in an effective way, which provides cost effectiveness. Akhil also trains and educates hospital staff to get used to the system as much as possible and they learn easily as well from the most user friendly interface. This slowly changes the mentality of using paper based systems as they realise the benefits of using the system. Even doctors are also started using EMR in various hospitals in India and other countries. And for support it provides dedicated team to tackle support issue 24×7 to give the best support throughout.
