The irksome wait for someone to painstakingly write out the details and issue coupons is as good as over for the patients visiting the Coimbatore Medical College Hospital(CMCH). CMCH has computerised registration of in-patients and out-patients in five of its wings.
Where earlier it would take hours to write out forms for nearly 5000 out-patients daily, the new system would take only 30 second for each patient. The State Government's assistance of Rs.2.12 lakhs for computerisation will ensure the maintaining of clear records that have no ambiguity caused by poor handwriting. Besides, patient details can also be had at the click of a button. Details such as patient name, age, address, in-patient or out-patient number, the type of disease and the nature of treatment and the duration will be fed into the system by six data entry operators appointed for this purpose.
