Creates links between clinical and administrative work processes

Systematic Columna distinguishes itself as a unique electronic patient records solution because of its integration of clinical and administrative work processes. Specifically, this means less time and manpower spent on entering the same information many times. This ensures efficiency in day-to-day work as well as more reliable basis data.

Faster, easier reporting and billing

Patient administration registrations make up an integrated part of the ongoing clinical documentation. Information that is registered in Columna by healthcare professionals concerning patient admissions, hospital stays and subsequent discharge is easily available to administrative staff, paving the way to faster, easier reporting and billing. Columna also automatically sends information about the patient’s treatment to the referring physician, and Columna reports – also automatically – relevant information to the Danish National Patient Register.

Supports communication with the patient’s GP

Columna also handles communication with the patient’s own GP and district nurses. Information about matters such as medication, diagnoses and treatment is gathered continually throughout the patient’s stay in hospital, and is automatically re-used to generate discharge summaries and/or nursing letters.
