PETALING JAYA – Sunway Healthcare Group (SHG) has adopted a healthcare management system that propels the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) technology forward, thus taking a pivotal step to enhance patient information management at the point of care across SHG’s subsidiaries.
The new EMR-integrated Hospital Information System (HIS) developed and implemented by Health Insights Asia is purpose-built with the latest technologies for optimal robustness and scalability.
This synergy between SHG and Health Insights Asia is further augmented by the strategic collaboration with tech giants Telekom Malaysia (TM) and Huawei, serving as enablers of cloud connectivity in the HIS, opening up new ways for SHG’s digital transformation journey. The total investment over this five-year journey is expected to reach RM50 million.
In a virtual kick-off meeting of over 130 attendees, Lau Beng Long, Managing Director of Sunway Healthcare Group, expressed his delight at the prospect of working with such forward-thinking organisations on the HIS-EMR implementation, which will see continuity in SHG’s future.
Sunway Healthcare Group’s latest expansion – Sunway Medical Centre Seberang Jaya – slated to open in mid-2022, will be the first to benefit from the project.
With the new EMR-driven HIS, Sunway Medical Centre’s medical personnel gets real-time healthcare data via a single point of access, from integral back-end processes to patient information at the point of care, enabling personalised information exchange with patients from prevention to diagnosis and treatment.
With easier access to patients’ health information, healthcare professionals are able to make better-informed decisions, provide more coordinated care, especially during times of emergency.
In addition to the new HIS-EMR implementation, SHG is also undertaking several digital transformation initiatives including the piloting of 5G-based systems to deliver better quality of care, and enhancing the B2C SunMed GO mobile application.
