Implementation of Smart Hospital

Patients can pay their medical bill via PDA in their room linked to OCS (Order Communication System) of the hospital. Automated Payment Prescription and Parking Fee Settlement system installed throughout the hospital has reduced the patients’ waiting time dramatically. U-Healthcare System has helped implementing the true meaning of ‘Patient Oriented Smart Hospital’ as the patients can readily access into their own account to register their condition, which then can be checked by the doctors via various mobile devices.
