Origin Integrated Studios: Envisioning Paperless Healthcare

The product provides simplistic user experience and stands out amidst other EMRs by focusing on less time consumption for doctors/specialists. Origin EMR allows the doctors to generate clinical notes, either typed or written using a lightweight Tablet PC. The product enables clinicians to receive contextually relevant insights in the EMR without having to check reams of unstructured data. As everything in Origin EMR is template driven and designed using digital form module, it enables seamless integration of all subsystems and allows customized medication with no use of paper in between. The product is designed to meet the operational challenges by implementing efficient workflow, managing systematic document controls for a patient record, and organizing storage space to accommodate voluminous information.

The contribution of Origin EMR can be best understood with a case study. Loh Guan Lye Specialists Centre in Penang is one of the earliest projects handled by Origin. This 273-bed hospital was spending millions per year on storing and printing medical records on paper. With a new building of the hospital coming up, it wasn’t practical to handle the physical documents across the buildings. Also, the rising issue of space shortage to store the physical folders propelled the hospital to implement Origin EMR and discontinue the traditional way of storing medical records in papers and folders. Origin EMR addressed the issue of space limitation for the growing business and helped the hospital increase efficiency in the process flow by designing all the forms digitally and eliminating physical medical records.

With 5G taking long strides into Malaysia, Origin has made telehealth possible, where doctors can make their primary conclusion from analyzing the report generated digitally. Telehealth helps to reduce the expenses of patients to a great extent. To achieve this, Origin develops features and functionalities to support medical professionals with multimedia technologies. The company also works with several telco companies and government agencies to avail the use of high bandwidth for its customers through Origin solutions.

Along with the EMR, Origin has designed, developed, and implemented products, namely Origin Hospital Information System (Origin HIS), and Origin Clinical Information System (Origin CIS) to monitor a person’s health through digital services. Origin also provides automation solutions such as mobile applications and portable patient monitoring systems to meet the growing digitalization needs of its customers. With the use of predictive AI technology, the company is working on integrating patients’ clinical data across departments to enhance efficiency and allocate resources accordingly. Origin is thus in an endeavor to transform the healthcare industry with unique software solutions.

Origin Integrated Studios started in 2015 with just one hospital, has over 30 successful implementations in just four years. With more than ten years of experience in the healthcare industry and in-depth knowledge in the hospital process flow, the company looks forward to remaining at the forefront as the market leader by providing state-of-the-art products to achieve creative innovations and solving customer problems. In the next five to ten years, Origin aspires to establish itself as one of the leading healthcare technology providers in Southeast Asia, and focus on group hospitals and group clinics as its clients. Origin is further working towards becoming the household brand healthcare technology solution provider for HIS in Malaysia and beyond.
