BNH Hospital, the first international private hospital in Thailand, has fully gone paperless following its implementation of an integrated HIS and EMR system.
Founded by King Rama V 127 years ago as a modern hospital for foreign expatriates, BNH now provides tertiary-level care known for its Spine Center and Mother and Child care.
25-year journey
It was only over two decades ago the hospital began using electronic records, BNH assistant director Dr Apichai Chaiyaroj told Healthcare IT News. When it opened a modern building in 1999, it adopted MedTrak to record data in finances and laboratories while all other medical records remained on paper.
