Unique information space

An easy access to information helps organizing an effective work of medical centers. Due to the use of MEDIALOG system, all medical, financial and other information is getting available online to hospital staff. For example, a doctor can view laboratory examination results as far as they are entered to MEDIALOG, that allows taking decisions on the further treatment and issue referrals to other specialists that will also be instantly available for viewing by other participants of process. Besides, the systems provides different schemes of work for network medical centers that allows using appointment books of doctors from other centers, share patients’ electronic medical records and make consolidated accounting.

To look in the full size

The unique information space allows economizing the time of specialists, make quick and well-grounded decisions, better control business processes and make general forecasts for medical center activities.

Electronoc medical record

The process of rendering medical services is reflected in patient’s electronic medical record (EMR) that combines the case history and outpatient card. From the moment of preliminary registration all medical information is stored to MEDIALOG by medical center employees. The electronic medical record is a well-organized, structured storage of information. Each doctor works with protocols configured for his particular medical specialization. The system provides convenient mechanisms of data entry and visualization that increase the speed of work and improves the visualization.

The MEDIALOG medical information system is supplied with ready medical protocols for the main medical specialties that allow medical centers to quickly start the work of doctors with EMRs. Thus, in case it’s needed, these protocols can be changed and amended according to specialists’ needs.

Except for the manual entry it’s possible to automatically get the analysis data and obtain information from different devices: laboratory analyzers, functional diagnosis equipment, and radiological instruments. The integration with medical equipment reduces the volume of manual work, excepts the risk of making errors and improves the informativity of work.

Effective planning and resource use control

The MEDIALOG medical information system allows simplifying the planning and optimizing medical center resources: dealing with specialists’ time, laboratory and diagnostic equipment, bed and room capacity, place for group studies. Using the electronic planning, doctors get the possibility to independently plan the time for consultations and particular analysis that results in the economy of time for staff and patients. The resource use control allows excepting the time overlaying, rationally organizing the work of scarce specialists and carrying out complicated examinations. The automation of bed capacity accounting provides an operative and exact information on the current and foreseen level of beds occupancy that results in particular work load for employees.

A well-organized appointment book simplifies the work of records department and reduces patiets’ waiting time when visiting specialists.

Operativ preparation of documents

One of the key merits of the electronic medical record is the possibility to quickly get medical documents and statistical reports.

The doctor’s time is economized due to the possibility of printing any required documents: references, referrals, examination results, discharge summaries etc. The employees of statistical department can easily form all main forms of obligatory medical reports as required by the Ministry of Health Protection as well as departmental reports.

Patients and colleagues from other medical centers get easy to read and well composed documents that increase clinic’s reputation in clients’ and partners’ opinion.

Except for paper documents, the medical information system provides the possibility to export electronic medical records in digital form (in HTML format) by recording to USB key or other removable media. This allows doctors from other medical center to get access to patient’s EMR, particularly in case of emergency.

Using the software possibilities specialists can get additional statistics from the system database and use it in examinations.

Integrated laboratory information system

The MEDIALOG medical information system also automates the work of laboratory that much increases its productivity and capacity. The availability of laboratory module reduces automation expenses giving the possibility to use the single information system both in medical and diagnostic purposes without need to purchase other software. A large driver library provides a quick and easy connection of analyzers and other devices.

Carrying out price policy and settlement control

When using the MEDIALOG module of services accounting, a medical center gets the possibility to automatically control its business processes, in particular, settlements with different contractors: insurance companies, OMI funds, corporate clients.

On one hand, the system is a powerful instrument for working our price policies in medical centers. With its help commercial department employees can compose price lists, define discount frames applied for different categories of clients, create batch services and form different kinds of payment conditions (prepayment, actual payment, personal accounts).

At the same time there exist an automatic control for carrying our this policy that can completely except the risk of human error: the service cost and payer are automatically defined by the software according to existing rules; invoices for insurance companies are issued automatically basing on the list of rendered services; clients’ payments are also registered that allows to instantly define the debt amount.

Optimizing the use of medicaments and materials

Material accounting appears to be an important issue for any medical center and especially for hospitals. The control of medicaments and materials is one of the key factors for optimization of services cost price.

The MEDIALOG medical information system allows registering the realization of medicaments via the pharmacy desk; it can also account the delivery of materials and preparations to departments and their use when performing analysis, treatment courses or operations. The personalized accounting of medicaments and materials allows comparing the actual and normative use as well as controlling the correspondence to standards. The exact cost price calculation for services allows correcting prices in case when they don’t meet real expenses for some particular type of services.

Real time management

The medical information system is an irreplaceable management instrument that managers of different levels use for getting reliable analytical information. Due to an operative access to data both public and private, the speed of taking decisions and their realization is much increased. The medical center gets better managed and ready to resolve new issues it is faced with.

Integration with other solutions

One of strategic vectors of MEDIALOG development is its integration with other information systems and medical equipment. The partnership with huge manufacturers in public health as well as partner relations with IT companies allows proposing a complex multi-task solution. Among them is integration with professional dictating machines (Philips), PACS-systems (AGFA), IP telephony, Call-center (CISCO) and different diagnostic equipment.

The MEDIALOG medical information system supports international medical standards HL7 and DICOM facilitating the integration with specialized information systems and complexes.

Possibility to make quick changes

The modern medicine is a quickly developing sphere of human activities. New examinations appear; high-tech diagnostic equipment is developed as well. Medical centers are also growing facing new problems and challenges.

A medical information system should meet the growing requirements of users. Only well-thought-out, flexible and scaled software can be used without additional expenses.

System’s huge instrumental possibilities allow flexibly configure database structure and user interface, adopt the logic of business-processes, automatically create statistical queries and documents of any complexity and as a result get effectively adopted to the particularities of every medical center.

The permanent development of the system, appearance of new modules, improvement of existing functions, development of new instruments and integration works are provided by a huge number of users working in the system and their growing demands.
