Hi Everyone, This is my first post coz I believe I need to make a decision at this juncture but first some background... I have been toying/beta testing in the IT Room care2x since the 0.* days with a view to adopt it as HMIS (hospital management information system) for a Non profit and the ONLY children's hospital in my country Kenya( and in East & Central Africa!). During those times I had volunteered as the Hospital Sysadmin ..I still am on Part-time non paid basis. The Hospital is called Gertrude's Garden Children Hospital (www.gerties.org ...not well done site but was again a volunteer work) Back to the main Issue. I have been testing Care2x due to the perceived benefits..Open source et al. and the Hospital Admin (CEO) is in the picture and in agreement totally as I wanted it implemented as the ONLY HMIS system at the main hospital and the branches (2). The Main problem I have is I do not know any clear cut way to use for especially OPD (Out Patient department) (the hospital has both in(about 80 beds and growing)/out patients) but the majority is OPD averaging 500-600 per day. My fix I am finding difficulties on how a patient who makes an OPD visit goes through workflow until discharge! It sounds silly even to me but a Patient here gets registered first, then sees a nurse who takes the basic patient measurements (temp/pressure..), then send the patient to see a doctor who then recommends tests (x-ray/lab)then makes a prescription once the results are back then the patient goes to pharmacy to pick medicine then discharged/admitted for IP! Could someone give an equivalent flow within Care2x for this? (U can do this off the list if necessary) **This is specialist Children's Hospital but care2x seems to be for Adults Mainly
My other issues are Pharmacy, Billing and Laboratories, Apparently the Lab Manager and techs don’t seem to understand the tests in Care 2x! Are these std? The other issue is we only have one Lab therefore the splitting of labs into central etc does not make sense to them but I do not know how to consolidate the lab to one single unit. However I currently trying to understand closely how most the procedures flow so that I can prepare a training manual for the Clerks/nurses/doctors etc, Any help will be highly appreciated as I really desire to see this work at the hospital which (The Hospital IT Mgr) would like to use as a test case for the country and demo for other hospitals in the country.
