DMF System

Integrating Allied Health

Our Allied Health Patient Management Suite (Inter-AHP®) has been developed to match both the requirement for allied health professionals and hospital management. It enables the allied health professional to spend more time on patient treatment and management and less time on data entry and reporting. It also offers hospital management real-time and immediate access to allied health management information.

Inter-AHP® consists of a functionally rich suite of patient and workflow management tools facilitating higher productivity for Allied Health Professionals. Inter-AHP® dramatically reduces administrative tasks. Inter-AHP® is easy to use, secure and helps to improve patient outcomes and continuity of care.

Allied Health Professionals can systematically view their workflow and the current status of a particular patient on a multi-disciplinary level.

Integration of DMF Inter-AHP® with Hospital Information Systems, Resource Planning, Scheduling, Case Mix and Clinical Information Systems is a key component of this solution.

The system allows the particular AHP Department to easily record Patient's treatment, medication, treatment outcome and appliances provided to the patient.
