BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences Dharan has now launched an app for iPhone users. Along with this, the institute has stated that iOS users can also avail the hospital's online OPD registration service.
The institute has expanded the app, which was previously available only on Android, to make the health service technology-friendly, and made it available on iPhone as well, said the institute's spokesperson, Prof. Dr. Shamsher Shrestha.
Now, service recipients can download the BPKIHS app from the App Store and register for new registration and follow-up for General OPD from home, he informed. He said that patients who register online through the app will be given priority in the hospital's OPD token system. It has also been stated that priority will be given to billing services.
Currently, the institute has determined a daily online registration quota of 20 patients for each department in the initial phase. Spokesperson Shrestha said that there is a plan to increase this number in the coming days based on the demand of service recipients and the efficiency of the system.
According to the foundation, preparations are underway to further refine the app in the coming days and add the facility to view and print laboratory and radiology service reports from the app.
Similarly, the foundation has plans to include paying OPD registration and OPD registration services through insurance after obtaining permission from the Health Insurance Board, the foundation said in a statement.
The foundation believes that this technology will be useful in managing crowds in hospitals, saving patients' time, and making service delivery more convenient.
