After successful automation of administrative processes, Indian hospitals are increasingly adopting clinical processes 5
While the benefits of automating administrative activities have been established, IT enabling the clinical processes yields higher benefits ILLUSTRATIVE
Potential benefits from IT
Demonstrated benefits of hospital IT 85% faster admission, transfer & discharge
Typical benefits from CIS
40% faster diagnosis time 30% reduction in medication dispensing error 20% faster inventory re-stocking 20% reduction in Average Length of Stay
Typical benefits from HIS
80% reduction in billing errors 40% growth in patient volumes 33% growth in profit margins

A strong IT system is increasingly demanded by the hospitals to build robust processes and achieve efficiencies “Every patient should get the same excellent care across the entire hospital” KLES, Belgaum
“I could manage the show when the hospital was small, now I need to delegate with… repeatable and replicable processes” Franchisee hospital, Apollo Group
“..if only, my MBBS doctor could be reliable enough to take some roles of the senior doctors” Cardiac specialist, Patiala
“..I have to stay up till midnight to manage the show here..(its) inefficient and unreliable” Raj Hospital, Ranchi “..only large branded hospitals can afford accreditation”
• Processes are vital to standardize care and achieve efficiencies • Large hospitals have been able to leverage IT to build these processes • While mid sized hospitals have reaped benefits through HIS implementation, CIS solutions can achieve higher efficiencies by automating clinical processes
