DEMC is a fast growing healthcare
group providing a wide range of healthcare services
for the community. The group is principally involved
in the development, management and operations of healthcare
institutions and facilities. DEMC is committed to serve
the healthcare needs of the community and to provide
the highest standard of healthcare, which is affordable
to the middle and upper middle-income brackets. DEMC
constantly envisions new services and requirements of
the community we serve. By doing so the community's
needs are served. All in, DEMC's formula is one that
reaches out to the community by providing value and
quality in all its endeavors.
Speedminer DW & BPM was implemented
in DEMC on the 9th April 2004, after the medical centre
realized the need to have a centralized way to track
public health data, an improved process for retrieving
healthcare statistics and reports, and to provide users
with dynamic multidimensional analyses capabilities.
Speedminer was implemented in the IT, Finance and Accounts
Department. TrakCare Hospital Information System (TrakCare
HIS) is shadowed into Speedminer server in real time
(data is updated every 2 seconds).This enables real
time reports to be produced on the fly for key administrators.
Even ad-hoc analysis has become easier after the implementation
of Speedminer DW & BPM. Hospital revenues can be
monitored on 'as is basis', without the need of complex
computation and hours of headache. Analysis provides
forecasting and trending that can cut costs and target
profitable lines of business in order to increase patient
care and operating margins. There is increasing need
for this type of information as cost pressures put ever-increasing
stress on health care organizations of all types.
On the 14th of May 2007 Speed
SMS was implemented in DEMC. It took only 1 day to implement
Speed SMS in DEMC. The database size of 13G, was shadowed
over to the Speedminer server in real time (within 2
seconds). Speed SMS is now used to send out appointment
schedule to DEMC patients. This has reduced the chances
of patients and doctors, missing datelines by almost
90%. Reminders have been proven to increase appointment
attendance and that spells good health and better patient
service. Doctors have fewer open slots in their schedule
and do not need to reschedule missed appointments.
