Medical colleges and their attached teaching hospitals play a dual role: delivering patient care while also serving as training grounds for future doctors. Unlike corporate hospitals, their operations are unit-based (rather than individual consultant-based), and their focus goes beyond revenue. They require structured clinical reporting, academic compliance, and department-wise accountability aligned with National Medical Council (NMC) guidelines.
A leading Government Medical College & Attached Hospital in India partnered with Caresoft Systems Pvt. Ltd. to transform its operations through digitization, standardized workflows, and compliance-driven reporting.
Unit-Based Management Complexity
Patient management is not consultant-led, but unit-based (senior faculty, assistant professors, residents).
Assigning responsibility for IPD/OPD patients to units created duplication in records and accountability gaps.
IPD Bed Management by Department & Unit
Beds are allocated department-wise, not centrally like corporate hospitals.
Tracking occupancy, transfers, and discharges was cumbersome.
Compliance with NMC Guidelines
National Medical Council mandates structured clinical documentation, student exposure records, and standardized reporting formats.
Manual compliance audits were error-prone and time-consuming.
Data-Driven Education & Research
Colleges required accurate clinical datasets for research, teaching, and medical audits.
Lack of digital consolidation hindered insights.
Non-Revenue-Centric Operations
Focus was on public health delivery, student training, and clinical quality rather than revenue optimization.
Most HMS products in the market were designed for corporate hospitals, making them a poor fit.
Caresoft implemented its Medical College-Compliant HMS & EMR Suite, customized for unit-based teaching hospitals.
Developed workflows to map faculty-led units instead of individual doctors.
Patient assignment, progress notes, and treatment plans are tracked by unit hierarchy.
Transparent handovers between unit doctors ensured accountability.
IPD beds mapped by department and teaching unit.
Live dashboards show occupancy, transfers, and available capacity.
Eliminated manual registers, ensuring efficient utilization.
Automated structured reports aligned with NMC guidelines (patient registers, mortality/morbidity audits, exposure logs).
Standardized templates for medical records, case sheets, and teaching logs.
Compliance dashboards for audits and inspections.
Digitized case records provided a rich database for academic research and student learning.
Advanced search and reporting tools enabled faculty to generate insights from real-time data.
Centralized dashboards for Dean, HODs, and Medical Superintendents.
Enhanced transparency in OPD/IPD statistics, clinical workload, and academic activities.
Reduced manual paperwork, freeing up staff for clinical and teaching roles.
✅ Unit-Based Workflow Digitization – 100% patient care aligned with teaching hospital structure.
✅ Improved Bed Allocation – Reduced delays and ensured accurate bed utilization across departments.
✅ Regulatory Compliance – Seamless adherence to NMC reporting formats during inspections.
