New Internet Connectivity To Facilitate Telemedicine At NTRH
Updated on: Aug 22, 2020
Nanyuki Teaching and Referral Hospital (NTRH) has made a major leap in streamlining service delivery, after it was successfully connected to the national optical fibre network late last year.
The Hospital is now linked to the National Optic Fibre Backbone Infrastructure, NOFBI, a step that will see it benefit from affordable, faster and reliable internet connectivity for better service delivery.
With a strengthened ICT connectivity, the hospital is better positioned to explore new capacities like telemedicine, where, for instance, a doctor can be consulted from far to interpret an x-ray image.
The internet connectivity is a boon for the customers, as it introduces convenience on automated billing platforms that is far easier to trace for accountability.
The automation of hospital operations is set to dramatically reduce patient files and notes. This not only brings down the cost of operations for the hospital, but also adds to customer convenience by reducing service time as their files will no longer be physically moved.
The ICT connectivity through the is also set to boost the facilitys connectivity to the countrywide Health Management Information system, making storage, access and sharing of data easier to better evidence-based decision making.
