About Us
Ltd Georgian Medical Software (MEDSOFT) created the Hospital Information System -HIS, its name is MEDWORK.
MEDWORK‘s consumers are 56 clinics in Georgia, including 26 hospitals and 30 outpatient type facility’s. Thousands of users are working daily in this system. Functionality of the system is increasing every year by 20-25%.
MEDSOFT started its creation in 2008 when a group of programmers together with doctors created a system for the outpatient clinics - Patient Registration Module, Financial Module (payments, debts, services). The main principle was to create a system using modern programming technologies and also those technologies should be easily renewable in the future, as the other marketplace programs that were used in Georgia used old 1995-2000 programming technologies. Also, the main principle was to set up a system where the management and staff of the clinic would be able to manage independently from the group of developers. In a year the system was implemented in several outpatient clinics.
In 2011 the master's thesis was protected by one of the author (Tornike Kapanadze ) "Information Management of Patient Medical Record". Since 2012 the group of programmers and authors has grown and in 2 years a functionality for hospitals has been added, in 2014 the fifth version of the system was released. Since 2012 the following specialists are working on improvement and perfecting of the project:
