Tamil Nadu State Medical Council to launch app for doctors

The Tamil Nadu state medical council will launch an app for doctors that will standardise the prescriptions and other documents like leave certificates and death certificates. The app will be launched by mid-June, according to Dr K. Senthil, president of Tamil Nadu Medical council.

The medical council in a statement said that the work regarding the new app is almost ready and more features are being added to it to make it more user-friendly. The prescriptions will have details such as the name of the patient, sex, date of birth, and vital details like height, weight, blood pressure, and other medical information.

The application will connect the present prescription to the old one and according to the medical council, it will help doctors maintain the medical records of the patients for a few years.

Senthil told IANS: “The app will be targeting clinics, neighborhood hospitals, and mid-cap hospitals that don’t have hospital information management software.” News18
