Napier Healthcare is an ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 27001:2005 certified provider of Hospital Information Systems, Laboratory Information Systems, Electronic Health Record systems, Electronic Medical Record systems, Nursing Home Solutions, Care Transition Solutions, Telemedicine systems and Home Care Solutions. The latest solution in Napier Healthcare’s stable is the Home Care solution–which exploits the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud and mobile technologies with today’s connectivity–and enables easy, regular and remote monitoring and tracking of patients’ vitals, such as blood pressure, blood sugar level, heartrate and weight. “The patient only needs to push a button on a smart device for each measurement to be taken and the data is automatically transmitted to an IoT gateway, which then routes it to Napier’s system on the Cloud, where it is accessible by the healthcare provider,” says Karthik Tirupathi, CEO. This eliminates the provider-patient gap as it also incorporates voice and video calls in the solution that allows for Tele-Consultations and even Tele-Rehabilitation exercise sessions. Hence, for the patient, this means minimal expenditure of time, money and energy on routine vitals monitoring. And for the provider, this means higher productivity, more patients attended to and more capital to invest in providing better care to even more people.
End-to-End management made easy: Napier HIS
Napier HIS (hospital information system) is a healthcare information technology (HCIT) portfolio that provides for all the information, communication and transactional needs of hospitals. Clinical solutions under HIS enable the management of every operational aspect of the delivery of healthcare services by the hospital, from handling nursing and physician documentation and pharmacy administration, to emergency operations, surgery scheduling and outpatient facility management. Financial solutions under HIS provide complete visibility into patient access and accounts, and intelligent tools for comprehensive monitoring, auditing and management of hospital financials.
Assisting the Doctors & Nurses as well
Napier has two mobile applications, eMAR & eMCS, specifically for enabling doctors and nurses to quickly access to a patient’s medical record for drug ordering and administration activities. The eMAR primarily assists nurses in the 5Rs of medication administration–right person, right dosage, right drug, right route and right time–and helps them to keep track of drugs planned and administered using a handheld device. Apart from drugs, a nurse would also be capable of seeing a patient’s medical chart with vital parameters including drugs prescribed, investigation orders and results, allergies list, and clinical assessment forms. The eMCS is a mobile application for doctors to gain quick access to a patient’s medical record. It starts by showing a worklist of patients who have to be attended to by a doctor. For each of these patients, investigation orders can then be placed, drugs can be prescribed, assessment forms and specific clinical forms relating to the patient’s diagnosis can be imported and filled in.
Having been in the business of healthcare IT for almost two decades, during which it has racked up an array of multi-specialty, multi-locational, multi-country implementations, Napier Healthcare will continue to offer affordable world-class products and services to healthcare providers, and continue to play its role in pushing the healthcare domain towards a positive transformation of simplified cure .
