Exist Software Labs’ Medcurial Becomes First DOH NCR-Certified EMR Software
Exist Software Labs’ Medcurial Becomes First DOH NCR-Certified EMR Software 768 487 Exist Software Labs

Metro Manila, March 2020 — Exist Software Labs, Inc, a global IT consulting and solutions leader  achieves another feather in its innovation cap as Medcurial successfully completes the required EHR/EMR certification thus becoming the first EMR Software certified by the Center for Health Development in Metro Manila under the guidelines contained in the Joint Administrative Order No: 2017-001 also known as the implementation of the National eHealth Electronic Medical Record System Validation (NeHEMRSV).

Guided by the Philippine eHealth Strategic Plan (PeHSP) for Universal Health Care (UHC), one of the jointly-identified major strategies by the Department of Health (DOH), Philippine Health Insurance  (PhilHealth) and Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is through the implementation of the NeHEMRSV. 

The NeHEMRSV is envisioned to serve as the policy arm to implement national systems conformity assessment protocol for national health data reporting requirements of DOH and/or PhilHealth. Specifically, the NeHEMRSV shall confirm if an EMRS or HIS measures up and conforms to defined reporting requirements and 2 submission protocols. Further, its implementation will improve data capture, processing, aggregation, exchange and reporting on national health data requirements and standardize submission protocols among implementing health facilities.

“As an experienced enterprise IT solutions provider across a variety of industries, Exist has always planned and prepared for the dynamics of change that govern technology to be able to respond to the needs of the times”, reveals Mike Lim, CEO of Exist.  “Once again, our team has proven that the systems we create and in this case, Medcurial, can readily support hospitals and care institutions in compliance with government eHealth initiatives.”

Starting with the PhilHealth eClaims submission in 2018 as compliance to the electronic medical record (EMR) implementation, the renewal of hospitals’ license to operate (LTO) for 2020 now requires that EMR system and providers be duly validated by the Centers for Health Development (CHD) within their respective regions for which Medcurial has this distinction.

“As the Philippines’ preeminent region, Metro Manila is where the majority of the country’s leading and advanced hospital institutions are located which is why being their first validated EMR is such a great honor for us, adds Willex Perez, Exist’s Director for Healthcare Solutions.  “We take great pride in the systems we build that not only automate manual processes and produce reports because we go beyond and unlock other system advantages which in this case, means supporting internal validation of data that minimize and capture errors before any official transmission.” 

“Being awarded this certificate doesn’t mean that it’s time to sit back and rest easy.  On the contrary, it only lends more credence to our company slogan which pushes for continuous improvement be it in healthcare or any other systems in our portfolio”, adds Willex.

“As we say, with us, there’s always a better way!”

Push for Philippine Healthcare Transformation Continues
Push for Philippine Healthcare Transformation Continues 768 487 Exist Software Labs

The Hospital Modernization Summit series has just concluded its latest stop in Manila last February 20, 2020, at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila. 

Aptly titled Digital Hospital Transformation Conference, Philippines, the event united local healthcare leaders, executives, care providers, and stakeholders to address the pressure of improving healthcare amidst the increasing challenge brought about by the need to incorporate universal healthcare, rising population, costs, and the threat of new diseases.

Exist and Medcurial have once again teamed up with Zebra, a global leader in providing handheld and mobile devices, printers, and computers that are vital towards elevating the patient experience and promoting efficient hospital and clinic operations.

With Zebra products and our MERX hospital information system, visitors and attendees were able to glimpse how the right device and hospital system integration are simple ways for hospitals to make the technology leap into innovations that make practical sense. From simple printing of labels and patient tags on virtually indestructible, tear-proof stickers that capture the admission, lab order, and results, to the patient and item tracking via advanced RFID scanners, we have demonstrated that technology tools are already available which will greatly prevent significant medical errors and replace labor-intensive manual activities.

Below are some photos that were taken during the event:

CGHMC and Exist Software Labs Team Up to Successfully Run New MERX™ Hospital Information System in the Cloud
CGHMC and Exist Software Labs Team Up to Successfully Run New MERX™ Hospital Information System in the Cloud 768 487 Exist Software Labs

Manila, November 13, 2018 — Top Philippine tertiary healthcare institution Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center (CGHMC), owned and operated by the Philippine Chinese Charitable Association Inc. (PCCAI) achieves another milestone as it successfully completes implementation of their new hospital information system that helps bring them closer towards a more technologically-equipped and operationally-efficient facility.

Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center (CGHMC) achieves new milestone in Medicine

Using Exist Software Labs’ next-generation hospital information system MERX™, Chinese General Hospital has set its sights on navigating the highly-dynamic healthcare landscape equipped with innovative technology to help its clinicians deliver superior patient care.

“Advancements in the healthcare industry are intertwined with improvements in technology”, reveals Mr. Jamie Dy, Director for Information Communications & Technology and Data Privacy Officer of CGHMC.  “We patiently searched for the type of hospital system that will best address our current requirements to better fulfill our vow of providing quality care while keeping track of the kind of hospital modernization including data privacy and security compliance that we wanted to achieve.”

One of Manila’s oldest running hospital can now also lay claim to be among the most innovative as it becomes the first to comprehensively adopt web-based technology and cloud infrastructure to run a large hospital.

“Implementing robust and advanced IT systems is a major investment, not only about license costs but investing in tech people as well. We knew our strength lies in our healthcare core but working with Exist Software Labs, we are proud converts to the power of tech innovation to help carry our hospital services further”, adds Mr. Dy.

According to Michael Lim, CEO of Exist, “We’ve always believed that the web and the internet have the ability to transform not just personal and social lives but even enterprises which include hospitals as well. The best technology, done right, can really empower the users to do better work.”

Mike further adds, “With MERX™, we help steer hospitals away from the complexities of maintaining traditional legacy systems so they can instead focus on their core delivery which for CGHMC is about healthcare.”

Designed to address both operational and clinical requirements of hospitals, MERX™ supports hospitals preparing for a near-paperless setup using integrated electronic medical records (EMR) while utilizing an entirely web-framework that has become the defacto standard for enterprise systems worldwide.

“Being a web-based system, MERX™ gave us the option of using the cloud which helps us save and reduce our capital expenses and at the same time mitigate the risk of running our own IT infrastructure that has often plagued non-IT core organizations ”, declares Mr. Dy.  “Even more fascinating is the fact that cloud platforms now rival traditional on-premise hardware performance and at the same time comply with global privacy and security protocols”.

While a number of healthcare apps especially electronic medical records (EMR) run on the cloud, there are very few precedents for operating a large tertiary hospital almost entirely on it. By proving that a cloud setup works, smaller to mid-size hospitals on a budget have better chances to benefit from modern hospital systems at manageable costs by cutting the expenses associated with forming an IT team and purchasing hardware.

“Part of the job of running a hospital is doing continuous research beyond the field of medicine – by observing other industries as well,” says Mr. Dy.  “From manufacturing to banks, you can see how widespread the use of technology has become integral to business success.”

Further, the youthful CIO concludes, “With our current technology partner Exist, we are confident that our doctors, nurses and, other employees are now among best-equipped to achieve the best possible outcomes to the Filipinos who entrust CGHMC for their health and care.”
