As an administrator, you should be very careful and wise in selecting an application for your hospital of a network of healthcare. Don’t purchase an application which is just categorized as healthcare IT because it doesn’t give surety about its appropriateness to your hospital. Sometimes it happen that top healthcare IT Companies get failed in fulfilling your requirements in case of web based solution. For your convenience, I have mentioned top 9 criteria which you can keep in consideration at the time of having hospital management application.
Know the nature of hospital software � Suppose that you have two options for the selection of hospital software India. It is you who have to decide which one to select from the two � an application with user friendly interface or beautiful with complicated interface. I would strongly advise you to go with user friendly hospital ERP software.
Searching capability � You should choose the application which can understand the entry without much focusing on each spelling. It should be able to give result, if you search medicines or medicine. It shouldn’t need manual keyword tagging.
Varied operation facilities � You must be aware of operation facility of hospital management system.

It would be beneficial for you that all information related to your hospital would be on your fingertips.
Safety & security � It is very important to know the safety and security of which should have in the tool. The software should be able to save the entered data instantly otherwise you will have lost of data at the time of power cut or trouble in internet connection.

Cost/price � Price plays crucial role in everything. It doesn’t mean that online ERP hospital software having price tag will be better and suit your needs. It may be that a fairly priced application can meet your demands. In my opinion, you should be ready to invest a little more money on hospital management system if it suits all requirements regarding your hospital operational works.
Scalability – The application that you are going to purchase should have ability to change, integrate and expand with the growing needs of your hospital. It should act as an integrated system for your entire network so that you can easily share your management policies across hospitals.
Integration capability � Your hospital software India should have integration ability. It should be able to integrate with existing tools like Active Directory.

Performance � It would be the wastage of money invested if you forget to check the performance of hospital erp. The application should reduce the work pressure and give the feel of relax in comparison with manual work.
