Basic components of a hospital management system

Effective hospital functioning requires not only a team of professionals, but also streamlined and systematic management. A good hospital management system (HMS) is a perfect solution that helps address issues, allows processing documents faster, assists in performing routine tasks more efficiently, and gives the full picture of the hospital.

    Supply chain management

    Supply chain management in healthcare includes obtaining and consumption of resources, management of supplies, and delivery of services and goods to end-users.

    Below are the main advantages that a healthcare provider enjoys:

    • Optimized costs. Supply chain management improves supply chain planning and forecasting, thus helping avoid excessive inventory levels. This module allows hospitals to optimize their current assets and free up the cash for other uses.
    • Improved safety. The system offers enhanced transparency to prevent counterfeit goods from entering the supply chain and to reduce treatment errors.

    HMS trends

    There are some technology trends that can help improve an HMS solution, facilitating hospital processes and workflows and supporting high-quality delivery of patient care.

    Internet of medical things (IoMT)

    IoMT establishes a network of connected hospital devices, enabling exchange of gathered and generated data. IoMT sensors and gadgets can be used in HMS for environment monitoring and asset management. This allows for sustainable resource consumption, such as electricity and water, effective maintenance of mission-critical systems and equipment, and inventory management for smart hospitals.

    Artificial intelligence (AI)

    The role of AI in healthcare is increasing and is expected to grow globally from USD 26.69 billion in 2024 to around USD 613.81 billion by 2034. In HMS, AI integration can help optimize resource allocation and automate administrative tasks, including appointment scheduling, insurance claims processing, and management of medical records.
