Healthcare Solutions by CDAC February 15, 2007
Posted by Pallav Sharda in : Healthcare, Technology , trackbackI’ve written about CDAC before. It’s primarily an R & D institution involved in the design, development and deployment of advanced Information Technology (IT) based solutions.
I was intrigued by the healthcare IT part of CDAC portfolio, which is why I’m writing a separate post about them. Seems like there are 3 overall solutions:
1. Sushrut: A Hospital Information System with an impressive list of functionalities. They advertise the following modules: Out-Patient Management, Investigations, Billing, Appointments, Operation Theatre, Blood Bank, In-Patient Management, Registration, Enquiry, Master Management, Central Sterile Services, Diet Kitchen, Bio-Medical Engineering, Central Stores, Pharmacy Management, Patient Medical Records.The software has been installed at Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute (SGPGI) Lucknow, and Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital (GTB), Delhi.
2. Mercury: An integrated Telemedicine Solution that has an EMR, device connectivity features (scanners, cameras and direct interface with medical devices), a web interface, and even DICOM and HL7 support. There is not much info online, I wish I could see it in action somewhere to review it further.
3. AyuSoft: It’s a Decision Support System for AyurVeda. It converts the classical Ayurvedic texts into interactive knowledge repositories with supporting analytical tools. I think there is a need to digitize this traditional Indian science, and this sounds like a good step in that direction.
