    Bumrungrad Hospital upgraded its information systems in the late 1990s to simplify operations, connect applications like pharmacy and billing, and enable quicker treatment. The new system addressed problems with the old system by implementing a Picture Archive Communication System to digitally store and share x-ray images. It provided easy access to test results for clients and allowed the hospital to treat 3000 patients daily. The system also had multi-lingual capabilities to help foreign patients.

    Bumrungrad's Hospital 2000 Information System

    Q1.Bumrungrad upgrade its information systems in late 1990’s. Explain the rationale for Bumrungrad to
    make significant investments in upgrading these systems.

    Ans1. Bumrungrad upgraded it’s IS in the late 1990’s and the rationale for Bumrungrad to make
    significant investments in the upgrading systems were:

     It would help in accessing several needs of Bumrungrad at one go.

     It would simplify its internal operations which was primarily billing by connecting all the
    applications from the pharmacy to eating outlets to the patient’s medical
    treatment which would help in generating consolidated medical bills.

     Quicker treatments could be done as well for patients at clinics within the
    premises thereby saving the hospital’s money and time in administering medical services.

     It would also help the foreign patients of different nationalities to get all the necessary
    information in their languages also helping to book appointments and
    accommodation online.

    Q2. Bumrungrad's previous information system had several problems which the new system had to
    address. Describe the features and the architecture of the new system. Discuss how it solved the problems
    of the old systems faced by Bumrungrad, earlier.
    Ans2. Features and the architecture of new system involved:

     Picture Archive Communication System (PACS) also known as Amalga


    comprised all X-ray images stored in digital format thereby helping them in performing radiology
    studies digitally instead of using films. It also provided the radiologists of the hospital the access
    to several medical studies and reports through the internet and LAN. It also helped them with the
    data in different languages.
     Easy accessibility of the results was also an important feature as results consisting of a simple
    blood check-up or high-tech magnetic resonance image scans could be accessed by 900 clients
    across the hospitals.
     Quick treatment of the patients was also one of the features as it helped the hospital to treat an
    estimate of 3000 patients every day.
     Multi-lingual capabilities were the major benefit of this system. Files containing all the medical
    records, bills, drugs and labels could be easily translated in different languages like Japanese,
    Chinese and English.
