AIIMS, India to go near-paperless
The All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) of India is moving one step forward by becoming paperless institute.
In the first phase of the initiative, AIIMS is making patient's medical history online. The program aims to provide information and records of patients anywhere and anytime. The project will also help doctors to take their decisions fast. The hospital has automated one of its centres by starting registration of new cases online. The facility will also provide immediate access to a patient's complete health records including lists of prescriptions and allergies, which will reduce medical errors, improve patient safety and avoid duplicate tests and other procedures. The system can deliver alerts that warn physicians about drug-drug interactions or suggest best practices for a patient with a specific condition.
