The National Heart Institute in Malaysia, a 400 specialized heart hospital, was the first hospital in Malaysia to achieve stage 6 of Himss, which indicates its commitment to advanced digital health care and patient safety.
The hospital needs an EMRAM certificate stage 7 to qualify as a major hospital for medical tourism under the requirements of the Malaysian government. His current system, Trakcare, was used primarily in scheduling and administrative functions, with all clinical documents continuing on paper, creating shortcomings and limiting data use.
Although technical challenges were important, adaptation to the workflow and new digital operations provided major obstacles related to people that require strong support from senior management and a clear vision to overcome resistance to change, said Bannon Yingit, founder and manager of APUK, an implementation partner in MedicOS specialized in clinical documentation and documentation systems.

“One introduction to the maximum output”
“The hospital was setting up comprehensive clinical documentation platforms that provided regulatory data capture, unified medical terminology, and smooth integration with the current hospital information system.” “They specifically needed systems that include” one introduction to maximize efficiency, “including the capabilities of automated documents, and pre -emptive alerts at the care and support point for planning for cooperative care.
“Being an academic hospital, it has given priority for high -quality organization data that can be used for analyzes with easily allocated them to support their clinical workflow,” she said.
Implementation began with a comprehensive analysis of the workflow to eliminate excess operations and in line with international health care standards.
Yenjit said: “The clinical information team has allocated documentation templates to meet the requirements of 33 heart specialists, while the technical teams cooperated in API integration between the systems.” “Despite the challenges of infrastructure, including database problems and access to the user, strong support from the hospital’s driving pushed the project forward.
She added: “The implementation ended with the user’s acceptance test, the training of employees, and the Go-Live approach in stages began to document nursing before expanding the doctors’ documents.”
A great victory for nurses
The implementation greatly improved efficiency, especially among nursing staff who have benefited from the automatic possibilities of the relevant information between templates and eliminating the entry of repeated data.
“Communication between doctors and nurses has improved through the views of joint documents, task management features, and promotion of care coordination,” explained. “The systematic clinical alerts of the system at the care point enabled faster and more enlightened decisions while simplifying the workflow by allowing doctors to enter data once for multiple purposes.
She said: “Although there is an initial educational curve, organized documents eventually improved patients’ safety, reducing errors and enhancing comprehensive operational efficiency.”
The implementation had a fundamental role in achieving the 6th level of Emram by providing documents and clinical clinical terms required to issue certificates.
Drug management closed episode and clinical paths
“The system has enabled the advanced clinical decision -making through proactive alerts, improving patients’ safety and consistency of care,” note. “By moving from complete paper to electronic documents with unified medical terms, the hospital can meet Emram requirements for closed medicines and clinical paths.
“While they are ready to evaluate EMRAM, stage 7, they now benefit from this data regulating to analyze clinical results, and specifically explain how data analyzes are used to improve clinical results – a major requirement to achieve the highest level of certificate,” she continued.
