In this article, We will introduce you to the MEDHIS system, a HealthTech solution from MEDcury Co., Ltd. We will provide insights that will help you easily understand the functionalities of the Hospital Information System known as MEDHIS.
Who is MEDcury ?
MEDcury Co., Ltd., was founded in 2018 and led by founder Mr. Jatuphol Chawapatnakul. MEDcury is a software development company specializing in Healthcare Technology. The company aims to create a sustainable healthcare ecosystem through HealthTech solutions that enhance the operations of healthcare facilities. This includes efficient management practices, seamless data connectivity and exchange between systems, the elevation of healthcare services, and data analysis for hospital business benefits, among others.
Currently, MEDcury Co., Ltd. offers 4 solutions for healthcare facilities, enabling them to adapt to technological changes and create competitive business opportunities both now and in the future:
MEDHIS: A Hospital Information System (HIS) designed for medium to large healthcare facilities, including those providing both outpatient (OPD) and inpatient (IPD) services, such as public and private hospitals.
MEDHIS Lite: A lite version of the Hospital Information System, sufficient for the operations of small to medium healthcare facilities that primarily offer outpatient services (OPD), such as general clinics, cosmetic clinics, dental clinics, and mental health clinics.

How essential are these systems for hospitals?
With the increasing aging population worldwide, including in Thailand, along with advancements in technology and a greater focus on patient-centric services such as designing products and services that cater to individual needs, connecting patient data between healthcare facilities to alleviate patient burdens, and improving access to healthcare services both within and outside of hospitals.
These various factors provide business opportunities for entrepreneurs to develop technology that meets customer needs, and they present challenges for Healthcare administrators or CEOs in considering and selecting suitable hospital systems to support growth and enhance the efficiency of medical personnel.
What is HIS ?
When discussing the meaning of HIS (Hospital Information System), many of you may have heard these terms to some extent: hospital data management system, hospital information system, or electronic medical health information system. All of these contribute to the definition of HIS, which is one of the 'hospital information systems' that play a crucial role in streamlining operations within various departments of healthcare facilities.

As technology becomes more integral to the operations of healthcare facilities, HIS has emerged as one of the fundamental technologies widely adopted to enhance the information systems of hospitals and clinics. Thus, HIS serves as a front-end system that operates with automation in managing patient data.
It encompasses the operations of each department, including Registration, Medical recording, treatment, Pharmacy, Billing, etc. It can also support decision-making for medical personnel in areas such as treatment, research, pharmacy management, and hospital administration.
HIS system connects with the EMR (Electronic Medical Record) system to replace handwritten and paper records. Currently, it is widely used for recording patient data and is one of the factors that help reduce operational costs within healthcare facilities.

However, since each healthcare facility differs in terms of business size, number of beds, and standard operating procedures (SOP), Healthcare administrators or CEOs should consider these various factors when selecting system features and preparing personnel. This ensures that each department can be effectively supported and maximizes benefits for the healthcare business.
MEDHIS Answering the Solution Need for All Hospital Providers
MEDHIS system was developed from the Centrix system by MEDcury, with the aim of enhancing usability and continuously expanding the number of modules to cover all aspects of healthcare operations. Currently, the MEDHIS system offers two service models based on business size and the number of modules, including
MEDHIS : Suitable for medium to large healthcare facilities that provide services for both outpatients (OPD) and inpatients (IPD). It consists of 21 modules that cover hospital operations, including registration, various patient service departments, accounting, and medication dispensing, among others.
MEDHIS Lite : This is the Lite version of the MEDHIS, suitable for small to medium healthcare facilities or clinics that provide outpatient services (OPD Clinics). It includes 6 modules that efficiently cover operations comparable to the MEDHIS system used in larger healthcare facilities, tailored for various types of clinics such as general practice clinics, dental clinics, specialized clinics, physical therapy clinics, and mental health clinics.
The comprehensive modules in the MEDHIS cover full operations and full patient journey. MEDHIS can also be adjusted to suit smaller healthcare facilities. This makes both service models from MEDcury attractive options for healthcare facilities of all sizes. They serve as tools to enhance information systems, improve patient service experiences, and accommodate future growth and changes in patient service delivery.
Experience the User-Centric Design of MEDHIS
Designing a hospital system that is simple to use and has uncomplicated processes is crucial for enhancing user satisfaction, especially for nurses who interact with the system the most. This helps reduce the time needed to understand and learn how to operate the system.
With extensive experience in the Thai public health system and development by a team of Thai professionals, MEDHIS prioritizes usability alongside system security. Its user-friendly interface supports full functionality in the Thai language, ensuring a seamless experience for users.
MEDcury has a dedicated team ready to provide training for users in both online and on-site formats for all relevant departments. This helps alleviate concerns for healthcare administrators and CEOs in preparing personnel, ensuring confidence during usage, and supporting staff to effectively carry out their tasks through the MEDHIS system.
A key feature that makes the MEDHIS well-suited for modern hospital operations is its Cloud-based functionality with Web-based systems, healthcare personnel can access the latest patient information simply by using an internet connection and a device that can connect to the internet, without the need to install software on their devices.
In addition, the reduction of maintenance costs for many healthcare facilities has made this usage option increasingly popular. The key features of this approach include
Support for business scalability and future technological advancements.
On-Cloud systems that offer more flexible data storage options.
Web-based systems that can be accessed via web browsers on various devices, such as computers, tablets, and smartphones.
Real-time access to data with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to manage access permissions based on specific roles.
Emphasis on data security through Data Encryption.
These advantages not only help reduce maintenance costs but also lower investments in hardware and software, as well as the limitations related to equipment and information systems in healthcare facilities. This includes reductions in data storage space, budget constraints, staffing requirements, and the risks of cyberattacks on hospital systems, among others.
Interesting Features of the MEDHIS
The use of paper in healthcare facilities represents a cost that can be difficult to overlook, including expenses for purchasing, ink, transportation, document storage, and destruction, among others. Additionally, there are limitations related to storage space and the risk of loss due to accidents or natural disasters, as well as misunderstandings that may arise from illegible handwriting in medical records during patient treatment.
MEDHIS fully supports data integration with the EMR system, serving as a key component in the goal of becoming a paperless hospital or a green hospital. This helps reduce various costs associated with paper usage and mitigates the risks of data storage and documentation in traditional formats.
Additionally, MEDHIS is designed with features that leverage technology to a greater extent. These include a speech-to-text feature that enhances the speed of data entry and a photo-taking and uploading feature that allows direct use within the system. This helps physicians document diagnoses or treatments more efficiently, ultimately giving healthcare personnel more time to care for patients.
The use of the EMR system within MEDHIS also supports API integration with various systems within the healthcare facility, improving the speed of diagnostic processes for staff and reducing errors in data or test results from different systems, including
ER (Emergency Room)
PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System)
LIS (Laboratory Information System)
RIS (Radiology Information System)
MEDHIS Empowering Healthcare with Trusted Information Systems.
While implementing information systems and medical technology in hospitals can attract customers, investors, and skilled medical personnel, it may no longer be sufficient for competitive advantage in today’s market. The use of information systems and technology must be accompanied by a higher level of confidence and reliability than merely having a system in place.
The HIMSS EMRAM (Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model) standard measures the effectiveness of information systems in hospitals. This standard helps healthcare facilities enhance their information systems' efficiency and builds confidence in their readiness to utilize technology for patient care, thereby increasing their capabilities to meet international standards.
MEDHIS is a key component that helped Princ Paknampo achieve EMRAM Stage 7 certification in 2019, making it the second hospital in Southeast Asia to attain this level. This was followed by Princ Suvarnabhumi, which also achieved EMRAM Stage 7 certification in 2024.
This standard demonstrates the effectiveness of the MEDHIS in driving healthcare facilities towards national and international standards in the future. The benefits from the provider's perspective include improved service and treatment efficiency, reduced medical errors, and enhanced ease of operation for healthcare personnel. From the user's perspective, it facilitates quicker access to care, easier access to personal health information, and increased satisfaction with the healthcare services provided.
