With the self service patient portal upto $89.73 per patient could be saved in a span of three years as stated by an African study.
Tracks losses: – You won’t be able to save money if you don’t even know where it is draining off from. The module provides detailed statements of the costs incurred and the areas causing losses along with 100+ Financial management KPIs so as to work upon the areas of improvement and eliminate liabilities.

Vikas 2.0 Lite | benefits of clinic management software | Increased Revenues
Comprehensive data on patients: – The system generates the patient loyalty index and their spending patterns to know more about your loyal patients, the most important aspect for running any business. The smart hospital MIS module tracks information in real-time and analyzes it keeping historical data in consideration simultaneously, thus you stay updated about the working of your hospital and patient behavior in real-time. It also helps in knowing peak patient time and helps you allocate resources accordingly, thus enhancing the service delivery process and attracting more patients through excellent service delivery and word of mouth. With the central information and billing system, patient discharge time has significantly reduced, ultimately leading to a 20% increase in bed occupancy rate.
Reduced patient wait time: – Not only does the smart hospital management system identify peak patient hours but also reduces the patient count on the front table to clear out the general queries using the integrated patient portal system, which reduces office visits by 14% annually. The system automates a lot of manual work done earlier at the front desk, thus clearing outpatients faster. Also, as we know generally, patients feel weary of hospital procedures when they are in need of simple tasks such as prescriptions, lab tests or X-ray requisitions, etc. Our EMR solution has dedicated links for prescription printing, lab tests, and X-ray requisitions. This encourages the patients to avail of the services remotely. Thus, the conversion rate of taking prescriptions, pharmacy sales, lab testing, and X-ray tests may surely increase; which eventually brings up revenue.
Interaction with third party labs: – The module provides a provision for third-party labs to interact with the internal system thus enhancing partnerships with other laboratories and hospitals. It helps in developing trust among the patients thus increasing patient entries.
Know the demand trend: – Plain and simple, the more time and energy a business leader devotes to managing inventory, the better they’ll be able to determine current sales trends. Naturally, this can then inform them how best to proceed in the future, and, subsequently, generate more ROI from their orders. So constantly reviewing inventory management choices is key.
Enhance Patient Experience | Vikas 2.0 Lite
Reduces Workload: – Leaving certain preliminary tasks like registrations, appointments, lab results, etc. to the patients’ hands themselves, eliminates such workloads to the workforce. This gives a chance for the workforce to work on more productive tasks and increases efficiency, which also reduces work stress. The integrated central billing system also reduces the stress of copying figures while transferring account details from one department to another or preparing invoices while a patient is discharged. The MIS dashboard provides data visualization of the information on a real-time basis, thus helping in the easy interpretation of data and strategy building by the corporates.
Enhancing Patient experience: – With our online patient portal, hospitals are able to significantly reduce the wait time for new appointments. As per our study, the system reduced the appointment waiting time by 50% for non-urgent visits. In Cameroon, Zambia, Zimbabwe & South Africa, as reported by patients, an average hospital visit takes 120- 180 minutes. However, using EMR in group practice management centers decreases the visit time by 30-40 minutes (for repeating patients) as their details are already made available in the EMR. While spending a long time in a hospital has been a big concern for patients, this experience shifts their perception to a positive tone. Also, the patient portal allows its patients to easily access their medical records through the platform. The portal keeps the hospital’s quality of care top-notch and makes sure all the patients are seen when they need to be seen.
Raises employee Morale: – It’s not only the patients who have to face the poor healthcare sector but also the hospital staff who are demotivated to work in such conditions. There exists an acute shortage of healthcare staff on the continent. According to several types of research, about 1 million hospital staff is needed to be recruited to deliver quality healthcare services to patients. With Vikas 2.0 lite, employees need not work on the basic under-skilled jobs. The system would automatically generate purchase orders, and keep a track of inventory and schemes, and offers. Not only that, a one-click purchase order for inventory going below the re-order level would be present as well.
Good word of mouth: – None of the advertisements can add value to a hospital other than positive word of mouth from previously engaged patients. Their feedback and reviews influence a sea of new patients. Thus, our fully patient-oriented patient portal would surely bring good prospects to your hospital.
Vikas 2.0 Lite for your competitive advantage
Real-Time Information: – As we know the pharmaceutical department of any hospital always aspires to achieve a smooth medical distribution system. Using Vikas 2.0 inventory management software, hospitals would be able to know what is in their hands on a real time basis. The live tracking of the drug stocks in the store helps the management to keep their inventory in check and proceed with orders when in demand. This entails a reduction in the cost of holding stocks by maintaining just enough inventories, in the right place and at the right time and costs to make the right amount of needed products. Also, The MIS module monitors information in real-time which is a technology yet to set a firm grip in the African market. Thus, the smart hospital management system gives you a first-mover advantage when there is lesser competition.
Enhanced patient care and communication: – Adoption of more advanced technologies can easily put your brand before your competitors. With the Online Patient Portal, a patient can book appointments, access their reports, and chat with the staff, any time from anywhere. Thus it widens the scope of supplementary services for your hospital.
Customized EMR user interface and tracking for every patient gives them a customized feel that they have been individually cared for.
Also, one of the major diversions in physicians’ time nowadays is the ability to readily access and exchange patient information online. You may focus completely on providing a better level of care, which is why you became a doctor in the first place, rather than on locating what you need in the patient’s record or figuring out how to get those records to the physician.
Issuing Medical Insurance: – With the emerging medical insurance issuance culture in Ghana & Cameroon, the module eases the process of Issuing medical insurance policies to patients, and also you can view associated bills of patients for record maintenance. The system is also integrated with the TruClaim Insurance Settlement System, providing additional benefits.
Environment Monitoring: – Working with microorganisms, maintaining temperature quality, and humidity control become imperative. With the integrated indoor positioning module, the temperature, and humidity of the laboratories are monitored all the time. It also monitors the air quality and CO2 levels, thus enhancing environmental sustainability.
IoT solutions are delivered for smart clinics
Purchase Estimation: – Forecasting the demand and sales is one of the successful parameters of any entity that may keep it forth from its competitors. Our Vikas inventory module forecasts the pharmacy purchase estimation by analyzing the outpatient consulting prescription pattern. This helps the provider to understand the sales pattern and enables pre-stocking, and future orders. This eventually reduces the overstocking issue faced by 6 out of 10 hospitals in Africa. It enables the company to quickly and efficiently handle complex orders, with split batches and expiry dates. Using the software, hospitals can increase fulfillment accuracy from 90% to 99% from their previous systems. This provides a competitive advantage for the providers.
Automation: – One of the biggest issues is the lack of trust among African natives for the laboratory results. The module provides sampling and reporting using auto-analyzer interfacing complying with the LIMS protocol. It would enhance service delivery and help build trust among patients giving accurate results. As we know in Africa, the success of the pharmaceutical industry relies on delivering the right medicine, to the right people, at the right time. However, speed is worthless if stock levels and supplies are not maintained. Incorporating the smart clinic management software into operations can help pharmacies to keep a track of drug stocks. More than this, it can also refill (order) the drug stocks automatically, when they are available at the optimum level. By automating those processes, our inventory management software provides opportunities to create a sustainable competitive advantage and enhance the competitive position of the hospital.

It reduces the chances of human calculation and bias errors. The system also synchronizes web EMR data with the pre-registration module thus data can never be lost, unlike physical reports. With the central information system, human errors are eliminated while transferring information within different departments and to the patients while generating invoices using our smart clinic management software.
OHSC compliance: – Considering many healthcare organizations’ concerns about OHSC compliance and patient identity security, our secure patient portal can be accessed only by authorized personnel (admin) and the patient himself.
Compliance with COVID protocols: – The Indoor tracking system ensures staff and patients are following proper distancing norms while standing in queues. Also, our patient portal eliminates the patient traffic at the front desk area and unnecessary queues. Thus, preventing the risk of spreading contagious diseases like COVID.
