With advancements in AI, digital assistants are becoming more and more capable. What started as an advanced voice-based search device, has now become capable of helping us manage our daily schedules, book appointments, make reservations, play songs, and it may one day act as a complete assistant to all of us. They were first seen in smartphones, in the form of Siri in iPhones and Google Assistant in android devices and now they’re coming in the form of standalone devices such as Amazon’s Echo, Google Home devices and Apple’s Homepod.

Digital assistants, like in every other aspect of our life, have a huge potential in revolutionizing healthcare by assisting hospitals, doctors and other paramedical staff in record-keeping, managing their appointments, and help in taking better care of the patients in an efficient manner. Artificial intelligence is assisting doctors in making better diagnoses, and advanced robotics technology is making surgeries more precise. Digital assistants may one day be as ubiquitous as a stethoscope in a hospital as they become more automated. Recently some hospitals in USA introduced Alexa skills, with which patients can book appointments and manage prescriptions.

Digital assistants for patients

People are becoming more and more dependant on their digital assistants on their phones. Recent stats show that by 2020, 50% of all searches would be done by voice search and 30% of all searches would be done without screens. This number is bound to increase with the increasing number of smart home speakers and increasing capabilities of digital assistants.

With the integration of digital assistants to hospital management systems, patients would be able to book an appointment with a doctor, just by talking to their digital assistants. Patients would be able to upload their health parameters such as blood sugar, blood pressure levels on a daily basis if their health conditions require it without having to visit the hospital or filling complex forms. This would enable their doctors to provide more accurate and reliable advice for their patients. They can also get the results of their lab tests without having to visit the hospital or lab. With advanced hospital management systems, patients can currently receive their test results in a PDF form, but as digital assistants become more ubiquitous, they would prefer asking their smart devices, instead of looking at their screens.

Digital assistants would also be able to assist in providing first aid with real-time advice from doctors and summon qualified medics in case of an emergency. There are unconfirmed reports of cops being called using amazon Alexa in case of domestic violence, and this shows the potential for digital assistants being helpful in case of a medical emergency.

How doctors can make use of digital assistants

Doctors are required to maintain clear records of their patients’ history. Clear and accurate records help to provide accurate treatment when the patient has any medical issues in the future. Doctors usually have to rely on shorthands, or transcriptions to make accurate records in the short time they have, and there is a chance that they may forget to add minute details when the records are made at a later date. This has been reduced to a large extent by the use of electronic health records, which are often made as easily filled templates, but with the use of digital assistants, doctors can simply dictate the health condition of the patient, and with the use of smart prompts, they can be sure that they didn’t miss any info.

The smart assistants also have the potential to help doctors better manage their appointments and schedules. Doctors can easily get the complete details of their appointments, the timings, and the schedule simply by asking their digital assistant.

Digital assistants for hospital administration

Hospital management systems have made it easy for hospital administrators to get accurate real-time information about the status of their hospitals, and manage it efficiently by making better use of their resources. But this also means they have to check their screens much more often, and this can become tiring on a daily basis.

With the use of a digital assistant, hospital admins can get quick reports of their hospitals, such as daily revenue, the total number of appointments, expenses incurred, and also about the stock of essential pieces of equipment, disposables, and medicines.

Alerts for emergency situations, such as when adequate doctors or paramedics are not available, or when essential supplies are running low, will ensure that the hospitals are making the best use of its resources.

Hospitals are rarely a single department entity. They usually span across multiple specialties focusing on different areas of treatment, such as pediatrics, neurosciences, gynecology, etc.

There are also various departments taking care of the day to day running of the hospital, such as maintenance, accounting, billing, operation theatre, and management. Each of these departments consists of many people carrying out various tasks, which can range in complexities from brain surgeries to fixing the overhead lamps.

And a single organization may have hospitals across multiple locations, making it difficult to manage them all. A hospital management system helps you to manage the enormous complexities of efficiently managing the hospital in a sustainable manner.

Even though hospitals span across a number of different areas, in the beginning, it usually involves only a couple of departments and just the basic number of people required to manage them all.

In such a case, a simple management system, with the capacity to deal with relatively fewer data would work. But as a hospital starts growing, incorporating more specialties and treatment facilities, this system may not be able to deal with the huge flow of data.

A hospital management system that could easily be scaled up could make this whole process much faster and easier.

As the number of departments and the employees grow, the management system would also grow to accommodate the conditions created by the growth, thus aiding the growth of the hospital, instead of being a hindrance.

Scale up - The role of a cloud-based system

A cloud-based online system has a lot of advantages compared to an offline system when it comes to scaling up. They could easily be updated to add more departments and employees, without having to reinstall the updated version in all the systems in a hospital. Instead of making changes in all systems in a hospital network the changes would have to be made only by the software providers. And since the software and its interface remains the same, there is no need to allocate extra resources to train the users.

A cloud-based system would also be much more efficient in case of hospitals in multiple locations. As new locations come up, the software could simply be updated to include them, and here also, the existing management network could seamlessly be integrated without any additional training. The data generated from all the hospitals run by the same organization could be integrated and analyzed, to improve the overall performance.

This would allow for better purchase decisions, as requirements for the entire chain of hospitals could be understood and remedied in bulk, thus helping make much better business transactions and therefore, improved efficiency for the entire network.

Resource management and reduction of wastage :

A good hospital management system would also help to prevent any unwanted wastage of resources. An efficient management of the inventory, of the various pieces of equipment, disposables, would cut short the resources otherwise wasted. In the process of scaling up, there is usually an increased wastage of resources, due to the purchase of excess materials to prevent a shortage. With an efficient system, such wastages could easily be detected and avoided. This could provide for a smooth scale up from a small hospital to a large network of hospitals, without excessive spending.

Scaling up - Understanding the data generated :

A common problem associated with the scaling up of any system is the overwhelming amount of data generated from the various subsystems. For a hospital with its already large amount of data generated a scale-up could be a headache without an adequate system to manage the data. Every bit of data has to be analyzed and compiled into a manner which is easy to understand, so as to make correct decisions at every corner.

An efficient hospital management system would make this entire process a cake walk by managing the data generated in real time in a smooth and easily understood manner. In a good hospital management system all the data from the various departments, regarding all the matters from procurement of materials, human resources, energy requirements to billing, accounting, and inventory management is compiled and represented in a meaningful manner, and this leads to quicker and easier decision making process, and therefore an easier, smoother and efficient scale up.

Management of the extra human resource required for scale-up :

Efficient running of a hospital requires that all the stakeholders play their roles, and for enabling this, they should be able to manage their work, in an easy and intuitive way. A good hospital management system allows the smooth delegation of work and allows easy access to the information required for the task.

For example, it should allow a doctor to enter the information regarding a patient and their treatment regime, and it should also allow the pharmacist to easily track the inventory. With an efficient system, it would also be able to evaluate the work done by them. Such easy management of the entire workforce, without causing any hindrance to them, but help them for this, would enable the hospital to grow up.

In short, a good hospital management system would make it easier to scale up the hospital network by easily managing the resources, avoiding wastage, making an efficient workforce, and a better management of data. Such a system could provide a hassle-free care for the patient, and make everyone’s work much easier.
