Customised Practice Management Software Solutions

IDG has identified the following reasons for the need of software for Indian Doctors:

• Healthcare scenario in India is vastly different from Western countries:
• There are no appointments, record keeping & MIS
• Above 90% practice is cash with minimal or no documentary evidence
• GOI recently passed a resolution making it mandatory to maintain all medical records for 3 years
• Penetration of technology is less in India thus family practice focused software is not available
• Doctors are unable to rid themselves of the vicious cycle of Want to buy computer → which software to use? Have been given FREE software → not very beneficial!
• Most of the medical software available in India, follow the western module - major portion devoted to appointments, billing, receipts, detailed capturing of patient data not realizing that the Indian GP spends only 5 minutes per patient.
