We had initiated software development project called Symbiosis Electronic Medical Record System with an intention to support hospitals by providing software solutions for hospital management. Symbiosis Electronic Medical Record System is an organized computerized system designed and programmed to deal with day to day operations and management of the hospital activities. It is a way to automate all the internal processes and workings of a hospital, its patients, and the workforce. Symbiosis Electronic Medical Record system is designed to have certain basic features of Hospital. But, clients can always choose to have custom options and extended features and functionalities such as clinic management system, laboratory management system and pharmacy management system. In our country most of the hospitals/clinics uses a manual registry process. however, modern technology like desktop applications, web applications and mobile apps brought huge changes in healthcare management systems.
