VESALIUS – HOSPITAL & CLINICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM
The real challenge of delivering optimal care without escalating resource utilization is becoming increasingly critical to hospital administrators. The demand of real-time financial/operational data and its relationship to the successful treatment outcomes is vital to healthcare institutions. This trend has changed the way hospitals evaluate their systems.
As a result, the traditional function of Hospital Information System (HIS) as a primary administrative tool as we know it, is no longer sufficient to meet these challenges.

VESALIUS is intended primarily to support the complete workflow of a hospital – from the moment the patient walks into the healthcare facility and registers, up to the billing & discharge stages.

At the heart of VESALIUS-CMS is the Doctor’s Homepage that serves as the central dashboard to clinicians. The Homepage makes life easier for doctors by organizing their worklist into a structured and logical manner – graphically and onto a single screen where he can drill-down for further details:

- To-Do List

All these options allow further drill-down to the patients Electronic Medical Record (EMR).
