Chairat Panthuraamphorn, M.D., CEO of Samitivej and BNH hospitals, points out that in this rapidly changing world, people are paying more attention to their wellbeing. Focusing on the importance of such changes, Samitivej is well prepared to meet the higher expectations of patients. In line with the Healthcare 4.0 era, Samitivej is providing the first Mobile Health service in Thailand through an easy-to-use smartphone application that enables patients to connect with hospital services before, during and after treatment upon their return home.
Underlining its determination to enhance the patient experience, Samitivej for the past three years has worked to develop innovative digital technology based on its insights into both patients and their families. With Samitivej Mobile Health, the hospital eliminates common pain points, such as waiting time to see a doctor or making a payment. Samitivej’s new Mobile Health service accommodates the worries of families while a loved one is undergoing surgery. The new services offer an unprecedented integration of hospital services and patient needs, in order to facilitate the hospital stay and to ease concerns of patients and their families.
Long queues to see doctors and pay for medical services are major annoyances for patients. With Samitivej Plus application, patients can check their hospital queue number on their mobile device and easily make online payments via FastPay Station or by scanning the QR Code at a FastPay Station. Samitivej Plus is connected to the hospital’s billing system, allowing patients to see their expenses and making payments in real time. Since its launch in June 2018, the application has cut waiting time by more than half.
