All the 695 hospitals and clinics of the Indian Railways have been connected with each other through a software called Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) to provide faster and better healthcare to patients.
HMIS has been executed by RailTel, a public sector undertaking (PSU) of the Ministry of Railways, in association with the Centre for Development of Advance Computing (C-DAC), the statement noted. The patients will have the benefit of accessing all their medical records on their mobile device, the statement issued by RailTel added.
“The features of the software extend from customising clinical data according to the departments and laboratories, a multi-hospital feature that provides cross-consultation, seamless interface with medical and other equipment,” it said.
