………Also launched yesterday was Phase II of the C-HEtS, the in-house information system in PPUKM.

The first phase, built in 2004 and completed in 2006, dealt with modules such as patient registration, emergency admissions, discharge and transfers, and administration of operating theatre schedules.

Following its success, Phase II will see the development of modules for the radiology information system, which include the Computerised Physician Order Entry, patient portal and integration of the C-HEtS with the old system.

The radiology department had already phased out film for scanning since August, when doctors could access the patients’ record online.

“We cut down on a lot of film as CT scans and MRI use four to five films each. For patients who request for their scan data, we provide it in a compact disc and charge them accordingly,” said Dr Lokman
