How Healthureum Is Reducing Labor Costs In Healthcare

Image
It's no surprise to see hospitals in developing nations having fewer healthcare providers than patients. In India for instance, a report by the Medical Council of India indicates that the low doctor to patient ratio in most public hospitals is caused by three factors. First is the low availability of doctors in hospitals caused by low recruitment levels. Second is the lack of infrastructure and low salaries that push most practitioners into private practice. The third reason is as a result of harsh working conditions that sometimes lead to angered patients lashing out at doctors due to the dilapidated conditions in most public healthcare institutions. In addition to the fore mentioned reasons, one other reason that is among top contributors to the low doctor to patient ration is the inability of governments to retain practitioners in public medical institutions leading to the rise and rise in the cost of labor. In countries such as India, China and most African countries report...

Healthureum-Helping you own your medical data

Healthcare has come a long way in many ways. From strapping patients on Operating Tables to using anesthesia, from binding wounds with Plant Sap to making Dissolvable Stitches giant leaps have been made. For all the significance that has been put into the advancement in the science behind the Healthcare, there has been a comparatively very slow development in the Health Management Scenario. Let's draw your attention to the fact that the only way till the early 20th century to record the patient's medical data was only in the form of written records. Computers had evolved by then, but then again to think closely about it, isn't keeping records on the computer the same as making them in handwritten notes apart from the fact that they are secure and vulnerable in their own ways. With the development of speedier and smaller microchips and processors, the healthcare industry evolved a whole new ball game. At Healthureum, we believe that Health is no longer a phenomenon vi...

Healthureum: Possible Use Cases and Benefits

Several benefits observed were decreased in storage space, nice working counter tops and reduced time for file retrieval. These innovations eventually brought confidence to the healthcare industry to adopt more technological innovations. This knowledge led to the adoption of robotics in surgery and use of 3D printing to build prosthetics.
