Automation in healthcare has been a kind of tardy affair when banking and retail have been fast to catch the digital wave. Nevertheless, healthcare is now quickly moving towards automation to handle the influx of patients being created in the current era of Medicare, Affordable Care Act, etc. Besides, providing personalized care to every patient by keeping uninterrupted connectivity between all platforms (hospitals, clinics, and healthcare offices) and removing human errors are also among top priorities that healthcare is striving to address through automation. However, with automation, it’s important to ensure that personal data of patients is not compromised to which HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliance is a must.
Evon has a sound track record of building HIPAA compliant healthcare solutions that provide top care to patients while keeping their personally identifiable information safe. Below are some healthcare solutions that Evon has built in recent times.
Pharmacy Operations Automation
Pharmacy automation aims at eliminating medication errors, reducing medication cost, ensuring faster delivery and enhancing control over pharmacy inventory. Evon has built the software for an automated medication-verification device that leaves no room for any goof up while adding prescribed drugs to the bag. Besides, “Will Call” tags help deliver the right package of drugs to the right patient without having to wait for long. There’s also a device to ensure that right pills are administered to patients every time. Evon’s development of automated technologies in pharmacy operations has transformed pharmacies into wellness centers, ensuring each patient receives the right drug, the right dose, in the right quantity and from the right manufacturer. Every single time.
Automated Healthcare Solution for Nursing Homes
Another healthcare solution that Evon has built is for nursing homes where patients need long-term care. Generally, doctors don’t visit nursing homes every day, so a startup idea clicked to a healthcare entrepreneur to build an online platform that connects nurses to doctors.
The modus operandi of patient care starts from the nurse who keys in patient’s symptoms in a system. This automated system is an intelligent database built by a reputed team of doctors to automatically generate a report as to which tests need to be conducted based on patient’s symptoms.
The doctor automatically receives the report to confirm whether that tests really need to be conducted or the patient needs more tests. The nurse gets the tests conducted and the automated system sends over the results to the doctor to analyze and prescribe appropriate medication. So, this way doctors provide fast care to patients at nursing homes where less-frequent visits of doctors could have adverse impacts on patient health.
A Smartphone Photoscreening App to Detect Amblyopia
Evon built a photoscreening app to detect an eye disease Amblyopia, also called lazy eye, in children aged 1-6. The app is simple to use and produces immediate results. Both parents and pediatric optometrists can use it to detect Amblyopia in children too young for a visual acuity test. The photoscreening app now also offers options to detect Myopia, Hyperopia, and Anisometropia.
In addition to development, AI data integration and writing algorithms for evidence-based photoscreening, Evon also provided testing services to ensure flawless functionality. This app has already protected 500K plus children from blindness, and over 2,500 pediatricians and over 35 health systems use this painless solution now. Besides, this screening is also not very onerous compared to other types of screening.
Note: Evon built the above healthcare solutions in accordance with HIPAA guidelines to ensure full compliance and to avoid data security breach. The team also separated personally identifiable information from electronic protected health information (ePHI). For example, lab attendants don’t get access to the personal details of patients, like house address, email ID, phone number, social security number, etc., as they don’t need such details of patients for conducting tests.
Healthcare automation is on the rise to provide quality healthcare and remove human errors. Besides, automation saves a lot of time that goes in repetitive but mandatory paperwork. Of course, data security is a concern with piles of personal information of patients lying in digital systems, but that’s where Evon, one of the best software development companies in india, is trusted for building HIPAA compliant healthcare solutions.
