Artemis Medicare Services : Aadhar: SAP Implementation & Integration with HIS

PCQ Bureau
New Update

The hospital has an HIS (hospital integration system) in place that caters to

the front office operations like IP, OP, ER, Pharmacy, Billing etc. However, the

back office operations like procurement, accounts payable, accounts receivables,

etc were not there in the HIS. So they decided to implement SAP to meet the

functional requirement of Finance, Procurement and Management Reporting.

However, implementing SAP is a challenge which becomes even more complicated

when integration with another heterogeneous system (HIS in this case) is

required. There was a need to ensure that both HIS and SAP talk to each other

seamlessly.

As an example, bills for patient and TPA need to be interlinked to each other

within HIS. Implementation of International Patients Module is another task,

where country and patient specific needs have to be met within the same HIS

package and also in SAP. Pushing the data from HIS to SAP, is one step and

confirmation of delivery to SAP is the next step. Confirmation of posting of

this information into SAP is another step and finally marking this record as an

already read record and to stop it from getting pushed again is the most

important step. Here there are a lot of technical aspects involved like

maintaining the sequence of records, maintaining the check of duplicate records,

maintaining flag for read and unread records, maintaining the flag and log of

erroneous records. With HIS and SAP seamlessly integrated, you have a single

point of data entry and duplicacy is avoided. Also MRP( Material Requirement

Planning) in SAP is done based on the inventory position in the HIS pharmacy

locations.
