Computerisation In CGHS

Kidwai Nagar dispensary is computerised since 10th march 2008.
On 15th march 321 patients attended the dispensary.

Main problems are :

1. Net is very slow.
2. NIC server is slow and around 11.00 am either it is very slow or could not be contacted.
3. Chemist / MSD authority could be issued from the computer but the report can not be generated.
4. More over Chemist / MSD authority are not serial numbered.
5. Permission software for investigation and treatment from private recognised hospital is incomplete.
6. Some items are shown in the inventory but they could not be issued.
7. Previously indented items if repeated are shown without any choice of selecting as indented/ chemist authority / MSD authority.
8. Pharmacist cannot find when the patient has drawn the medicine before .
9. There should be special module for the pharmacist distributing the local purchase medicines.
10. Linux and Mozila browser are outdated and need to be updated. NIC people are not able to do it in spite of repeated request.

Solutions

• CGHS should install their own server or NIC should upgrade their server.
• MTNL connection should be 512 kb connection.
• There should be a special module for the pharmacist distributing the local purchase medicines.
• RAM may be increased to 1 GB.
• Linux and Mozila browser may be updated.
• NIC should modify the software keeping  above points in view.
• Provisions should be made so that reports in different formats  could  be generated
