Nethra Eye Institute (a unit of Sowrya Hospital)

a total eye care state of the art super specialty eye hospital in the heart of Hyderabad - Telangana for many years was using paper records and initially also used software for billing purpose only. Health Information System or HIS was used later on that was adopted in anticipation of integration with an EHR, which eventually has not materialized.


The Nethra Eye Institute’s previous efforts were complicated by the fact that they lagged in technology. Documentation was very cumbersome and labor-intensive. Ophthalmologists and staff were frustrated by their inability to access and share information seamlessly. The previous Electronic Health Record System – EHR did not support efforts to-

  • Create a workflow process that is fast and in decreasing turnaround time or TAT considerably.
  • Share information across the care continuum
  • Obtaining a complete patient history
  • Be benefited from equipment integration as there was no ophthalmology specific EHR that can integrate different types of processes with a software

“We have to coordinate care with many different people and with many different entities. The communication between our team and the other care providers within the hospital premises and with patients was extremely divided,” explained Dr. Ram Kumar Gudapati Master of Ophthalmology - Nethra Eye Institute

Race against time

A lot of time was wasted in manually transferring paper medical records physically from one specialty to another specialty for further investigations and noting the process in the records. The medical records were still only paper based and creating them at each level took their considerable turnaround time.

Nethra Eye Institute then chose EHNOTE to help them manage their scheduling and EHR needs.
