THE Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH), Bauchi, has unveiled a DHS mobile app, to enhance healthcare service delivery.
The management of the hospital deployed the app to the amenity and retainership partner units, to strengthen digital healthcare delivery.
Prof. Yusuf Jibrin, the Chief Medical Director, said this in a statement on Tuesday by Usman Koli, Head, Public Relations and Protocol Unit of the hospital.
He said that the initiative was a major step in its drive toward a fully digital and patient-centred healthcare system.
Jibrin said the digital app would enable patients to book appointments, make electronic payments, and receive prescriptions, as well as place medication reminders and communicate directly with hospital support personnel.
“The app will eliminate physical queues at registration and payment points, and complement the recently introduced DHS SmartQueue System.
“The DHS system improves patient flow, reduces congestion in clinics, shortens waiting times and enhances the overall patient experience,” Jibrin said in the statement.
Jibrin reaffirmed commitment to the deployment of innovative technologies, to improve efficiency, simplify access to timely quality healthcare services.
He urged the amenity, retainership partners, and other users of the hospital’s services, to embrace the platform.
Jibrin expressed optimism that the platform would further strengthen service delivery and improve patients’ overall healthcare experience.
The unveiling was attended by the representatives of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), among others. (NAN)
