Challenges

The project presented several significant challenges for Ejyle:

Time Constraints

We had to deliver the complete solution within a record time of 3 weeks to meet surging COVID cases in the state which required swift development and efficient coordination.

Limited Client Capabilities

The client lacked expertise in Hospital Management Systems and the necessary resources for developing the system.

Complex Functionality

The Hospital Management System required various critical features, such as CCC/NEIGRIHMS bed allocation, ambulance allocation and tracking, patient check-in, patient search, and contact trace capture. Developing a seamless and intuitive user interface while ensuring.

accurate functionality was a challenge.

Solution

To address these challenges the approach was as follows:

Time Constraints

Ejyle ramped up a team very rapidly due to impending social need. Our teams volunteered to work long hours to make a difference in our own small way.

Limited Client Capabilities

Ejyle brought forth its rich expertise in Healthcare IT, Hospital Management and Platform Development to understand the high-level needs. We had to proactively identify features that were essential for the solution and thought through the design based on scenarios that could occur. Ejyle’s strong solutioning expertise came handy in building and end-to-end solution.

Complex Functionality

• Modular development: We divided the solution into manageable modules and built them out in parallel, ensuring seamless integration within the given timeframe.
• End-to-end solution: Our system covered various aspects which includes patient registration, testing, quarantine, case severity categorization, laboratory integration, admission management, nursing care, medication administration, prescription management, patient transfers, care coordination, contact tracing, ambulance management, equipment inventory, discharge, post-discharge follow-up care, and quarantine management.

Ejyle’s Platform Development Methodology

Ejyle adopted its agile platform development methodology, enabling rapid iterations and close collaboration with the client. This iterative approach allowed regular demos and feedback from the Ministry in the State and course corrections, ensuring that the solution aligns precisely with the client’s expectations.

Key Outcomes

Simplified Patient Check-In

The system streamlined the patient check-in process and transfers from one facility to another, providing accurate and up-to-date information about their allocation.

Streamlined Bed Allocation

The system enabled efficient allocation of beds as per case severity and proximity of facility.

Effective Ambulance Coordination

Ambulances were allocated and tracked in real-time, facilitating the efficient transportation of patients between healthcare facilities.

Care Coordination / Continuity

A patient’s entire history and continuity of care was facilitated in a seamless manner for transfer across ward or bed types, across facilities anywhere in the state as well as post discharge on a future return to any of the state’s facilities.

Comprehensive Contact Tracing

The system facilitated the capture and management of contact tracing data, allowing officials to follow up with individuals and provide necessary guidance.
