The Indian healthcare industry is a flourishing sector in the present economic scenario. As the industry is growing at a robust compound annual growth rate of 16 percent from 2011 to 2020, it is going to witness a doubled workforce of 3.6 million in 2013 to 7.4 million by 2022, making it a significant contributor to nation's GDP. However, with this growth, a constant influx of patients in every health centre may be witnessed which raises voluminous paper based data collection/ processing and makes the entire process time consuming and disorganized. This not only results in a poor service quality, reduced safety and increased costs, but the management turns inefficient to provide and channelize information at the right time with the right stakeholders. The need to revitalize the existing healthcare practices with technology enabled systems is on top of the charts, and cannot be ignored. Understanding the pain points of different stakeholders in the healthcare industry, many solutions and services providers have come up with tailor-made solutions to enable better healthcare across different mediums and specializations.    

By leveraging IT solutions such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), HMS (Hospital Management System), EMR (Electronic Medical Record), EHR (Electronic Health Record) and others, a healthcare unit gets real time insights on patients' care progress and material & human movement across the organization. Implementation of effective IT systems helps a healthcare organization to integrate many functions at the internal level such as patient scheduling, human resources management, and workforce management. For instance, HMS allows a healthcare unit to effortlessly improve upon healthcare quality and operational efficiency while reducing costs and enhancing back-end operations. EMR helps an organization to transform into paperless management which includes clinical, back office and basic management of all activities. It also enables an organization to create digital formats of patient histories. These can be shared with other healthcare organizations such as laboratories, specialists, medical imaging facilities, pharmacies, emergency facilities, schools, workplace clinics and can even be carried across countries.
