The ecosystem includes a series of digital solutions, comprehensive digital transformation applications in the healthcare industry.

The project "Digital transformation ecosystem in the healthcare sector" developed by elSAGA Technology Solutions Joint Stock Company was highly appreciated by the jury of the contest "Searching for innovative solutions in the public sector in 2024" (Gov.Star 2024) for its application potential, partly solving the remaining difficulties of the Vietnamese healthcare sector.

The ecosystem includes a series of digital solutions, comprehensive digital transformation applications in the healthcare industry such as: facility management software system, healthcare applications, telemedicine, electronic medical records, centralized appointment system, online medicine purchase, administration software, operational management, incident reporting system.

The integrated applications on the system will promote digital transformation for the healthcare industry to become more convenient, developing solutions through mobile devices.

Mr. Hoang Nhat Minh, CEO of elSAGA Technology Solutions Joint Stock Company, said that with this system, the management agency will quickly grasp information and operational status of hospitals. In addition, the system helps reduce pressure on medical staff thanks to a series of applications such as multi-platform patient record management, access to analytical information from AI, etc.

Not only that, through application modules on mobile devices, patients can easily manage and share medical records, paraclinical results, medical history with hospitals, interact with medical staff through online consultation channels, manage examination schedules, re-examination...

Since the beginning of 2019, the project has been deployed in 8 hospitals in Vietnam (An Viet Hospital, Vinh Phuc Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, Quang Ninh General Hospital, Viet Duc Hospital, Hanoi Andrology and Infertility Hospital, etc.); providing more than 20 software modules and application solutions such as: multi-channel appointment system (BHR), electronic health record system (PHR), customer care switchboard system, internal switchboard, doctor application system, etc.

“In the coming time, we will continue to add new software modules suitable for each medical facility, optimizing usability to widely deploy to medical facilities in Vietnam, with the goal of developing 15-20 new hospitals/year,” Mr. Hoang Nhat Minh shared.

According to the request of the Ministry of Health , by 2025, all grade 1 hospitals in Vietnam must apply EMR electronic medical records and by 2027, grade 2 and 3 hospitals must apply EMR.

In Ho Chi Minh City alone, currently only 3/115 hospitals apply electronic medical records: University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital (facility 1), Nguyen Tri Phuong Hospital, and City Children's Hospital.
