Optimising Obstetrics and Gynaecology Operations with Cellma
In hospitals, the department of obstetrics and gynaecology is always busy. Each day begins with long queues of expectant mothers and women seeking care for various gynaecological issues. The team of doctors, nurses and administrative staff of the department works dedicatedly and tirelessly. But managing patient records, scheduling appointments, maintaining the antenatal care and maternity care records, and having smooth communication between departments often feels like a battle.
One busy afternoon, Dr Kim, the head of the obstetrics department, in a 500-bed hospital, received a call about an emergency C-section. As she hurried to the operating room, she was told by the accompanying nurse that the patient’s records were incomplete. Important details about the patient’s medical history were missing and getting all the details would take precious time. This was a clear reminder of the challenges the department faced daily and highlighted the urgent need for a more efficient system.
With Cellma, hospitals can easily avoid such challenges and manage the administration, patient scheduling, patient records, prescriptions, images, labs, and communication between doctor and patients as well as between departments.
