Our director, Dr Andabati was invited to speak at the launch of the Smart Access App on 17th May, 2023.
Smart Applications International is an ICT solutions provider. One of their key services is an automated medical scheme management solution – Smart Access. The Smart Access App offers the insured member (and dependents), the scheme administrator & the medical insurance service provider easy online access to monitor the medical cover.
At the event held at The Sheraton Kampala Hotel, Dr Andabati spoke on the relevance of adoption of digital systems in management of medical data.
He pointed out the vital role played by digitisation of medical data in efficient and effective management of medical data, ultimately cutting on healthcare costs.
“On average, a patient spends about 4-5 hours in hospital, especially at public hospitals that still do manual data processing, the bulk of this time is spent processing patient medical history, test results, billing and receipt.”
According to Dr Andabati, digitization also gives doctors more time to engage with and foster a more personal relationship with their patients. “As a fertility specialist, I am able to review and receive real-time updates conveniently from my patients remotely, leveraging the power of technology through effective communication channels such as phone consultations.”
