NIMS launches mobile app for patients online registration

HYDERABAD: The Nizam’s Institute Of Medical Sciences (NIMS) developed a mobile application for patients to help them register themselves online and avoid standing in long queues.


Director of NIMS Hospital Dr Manohar said, “It’s part of the hospital management information system, which was initiated in 2014 to ensure a medical record of patients are online so that you need not pile up hard copies of the records. I assumed the charge in 2015 & it was at a standstill.”


Further adding, Dr Manohar said, “So with the help of our minister of health & family welfare & our secretary, we sorted out the issues & launched this as pilot project in April 2017 as OP Module. After that it was finally launched in July 2017. This has helped patients avoid long queues.”
