We’ve all experienced it – waiting endlessly for a discharge summary, a doctor running late, or an appointment that keeps getting pushed. And when you’re finally done, you still have to settle bills separately at the hospital and the pharmacy. To make things worse, your ortho doctor has no clue what the cardiac specialist did last week.
Why? Because most hospital departments still work in silos.
At some point, all of us – patients, doctors, administrators have thought:
“Why can’t all of this just be automated and connected?”
If You Run a Hospital, Let Me Read Your Mind for a Moment
Frustrated with your HMS? You’re not alon . Here’s why:
Limitation | Impact on Hospitals |
Limited customization | Any change needs a vendor ticket — which means delays, red tape, and added costs. |
Workflow rigidity | Discharge approvals or patient handoffs follow rigid paths, slowing down operations. |
Poor integration | Your HMS doesn’t talk to Outlook, Teams, HR software, or even your analytics tools. |
Siloed analytics | Reports are delayed, static, and limited to HMS data. |
Vendor lock-in | You’re stuck waiting on third parties to update, innovate, or even fix issues. |
These limitations lead to:
- Frustrated staff
- Inefficiencies
- Higher costs
- Missed opportunities to serve patients better
You and your patients deserve better.
