The birth of Hoang Trung Medical Software Development Company (HT MEDSOFT) becomes a joyful signal for Vietnam’s medical sector in dealing with weaknesses in hospital management.
Established in 2002, the operation of Hoang Trung Medical Software Development Company in the sector of editing software (management and application) for the medical sector and providing consultancy to set up the system of data management for hospitals, etc. has brought many positive changes to Vietnam’s medical sector. Software YKHOA.NET of Hoang Trung is a comprehensive hospital management software, including ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and CRM (Customer Relationship Management), which helps raise the efficiency of resource and administrative management. The application of software YKHOA.NET into hospital management has really created a revolution for Vietnam’s medical sector.
The convenience of information technology has turned procedures which used to be time-consuming, labour-consuming and ineffective into fast, convenient and accurate ones. Such large hospitals of Vietnam as Bach Mai, Viet Tiep and Gerontology, etc. are surprised when realizing that the cost of investment into this effective software does not equal to a part of their monthly financial loss.
Bach Mai Hospital’s application of “online medical file” is voted as one of ten outstanding events of Vietnam’s medical sector in 2008 by Suc Khoe & Doi Song magazine (Health and Life magazine). Millions of patients coming to have their health checked at Bach Mai Hospital do not face any errors related to hospital fees and medical files. In its administrative management, the board of directors of Cao Lanh District Hospital uses the internal information software to transfer data to appropriate divisions. Staff in the hospital can communicate with each other easily and get closer. This form of communication helps the hospital save paper, ink and traveling time.
Doctor Phan Xuan Trung, Director of Hoang Trung Company enthusiastically shares that “in the time to come, I’ll go further. The software will be added with some functions like giving alerts to doctors when prescribing pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers or patients with special diseases, etc. Such automatic alerts will increase safe for patients.”
It is possible that in August 2009, Hoang Trung Company will announce a new project, establishing a sole website for all hospitals. This will be a social website dedicated to the medical sector only. All the hospitals will have an opportunity to learn and play on a common playing ground. Doctors from remote areas can share information and experiences with doctors in areas with better working conditions. When encountering a difficult case, doctors across the country can follow the case and contribute ideas.
Products offered by Hoang Trung to the medical sector during the last seven years are not only appreciated by medical units but also by the society via many awards. Doctor Trung gets conferred with the title “IT knight” by E-Chip magazine. This title is granted to individuals with excellent and non-profit contribution to the community via IT activities.
