Solution Architecture
Digital Hospital covers the entire financial needs in any hospital, as it provides the traditional financial modules such as: General Ledger, Payroll and Cost accounting. The additional and the unique modules in Digital Hospital Solution will track the patient -from the financial aspect- from the minute he enters the hospital until he leaves.
When any medical transaction -that is related to the financial department- is performed for a certain patient, the financial modules in Digital Hospital Solution will automatically add the required amounts to the Patient’s account and generates the patient bill. For example; when a test lab is performed, the test’s costs are added automatically to the patient account. The same for the stock control, when an item is used during a surgery; it will be added automatically to the patient bill as a cost of performing the operation. In the same time, when an item is selected to be used in the operation it will be automatically deducted from the available stock; so stock supervisors will need to press on few buttons only to get the actual status of any item at any time.
The financial modules in Digital Hospital provides advanced financial reports useful to be used to support decisions and strategic actions, with a button click a complete statistical report will be generated about the costs of implementing the cardiac center in the hospital for example, analysis of the resulted statistics could be achieved easily depending on the clear representation of data and elements.
To handle the financial issues related to items in the pharmacy or the operation rooms, the barcode recognition was enabled in Digital Hospital. Each item should have an ID; when any item is selected to be used or sold it should first scanned with the barcode scanner. The entire process will take less than a minute and it will safe a lot of time spent in entering items information and details manually. This process is related to the financial department because it reflects on both the stock control and the patient bill.

Like in the financial modules, generated reports and statistics are available for managers and supervisors to support the decision making regarding the administrative issues. Managers can determine the level of occupancy for a specific period, room type or for a certain department. Also, Digital Hospital is designed to provide complete interaction with employees and hospital members, the solution was designed to support managers and supervisors to get the best performance from the employees and the medical staff. Using this solution, supervisors will be able to schedule shifts, generate doctors and operations schedules, report and distribute employees’ tasks, provide alerts for uncompleted tasks and distribute documents, regulations and requests.
Digital Hospital provides managers and supervisors with the ability to monitor the daily work remotely from anywhere using the Pocket/Tablet/Laptop devices through the internet.
