The health coding company ASHO has highlighted the transformative impact of automation and digitization of processes in healthcare, allowing professionals to dedicate more time to patient care. Ruth Cuscó, managing director of ASHO, emphasized that the use of advanced tools in coding and data management not only simplifies the daily tasks of medical staff but also ensures faster and safer care.

Digital transformation is revolutionizing hospital management by optimizing times and improving care quality. ASHO, a leader in its sector, has underscored the positive effect of this digitization on hospital organization, streamlining the work of both medical and administrative teams.

Hospitals face the need to manage large volumes of daily information, including medical histories, diagnoses, and medical procedures. Implementing management software allows for the automation of critical processes, reducing administrative burdens and improving coordination among teams. Cuscó stated that, thanks to digitization, hospitals can optimize resources, reduce wait times, and minimize errors in data management. Tools like ASHOINDEX and ASHOCOODE facilitate the automatic coding of diagnoses and procedures, ensuring quick and secure access to medical information.

The optimization of administrative and clinical processes has a direct impact on the quality of care. According to data from the Ministry of Health, the digitization of hospital systems can reduce admission management times by 40%, allowing professionals to devote more time to direct patient care. Cuscó adds that efficiency in hospital management not only enhances patient experience but also helps alleviate the workload of healthcare staff, making their tasks more effective and organized.

Additionally, interoperability between hospital systems improves communication at different care levels, ensuring better continuity of care. ASHO has emphasized the importance of health communication standards like HL7 and FHIR, which are integrating data more efficiently across the healthcare system.

The future of hospital digitization promises to continue setting trends in the healthcare field, with increasingly precise technologies that will allow professionals to manage information swiftly and securely. ASHO concludes that the development of advanced coding and data management tools is vital for healthcare professionals to perform their duties more efficiently, devoting more time to patient care and less to administrative tasks.
