Introducing HealthCloud V8.0 

In the latest release of HealthCloud, version 8.0, the Alula Technologies team has diligently optimised the platform to provide users with cutting-edge solutions that facilitate informed decision-making in the most effective, secure, and streamlined manner. Building upon our commitment to continuous improvement, this major update introduces a host of enhancements aimed at elevating the user experience and bolstering functionality.

Noteworthy Developments in HealthCloud 8.0:

• Enhanced Responsiveness: The platform now boasts smart responsiveness as the cursor navigates through the system, ensuring a seamless user experience.

• Standardised Naming Conventions: The terminology has been standardised, shifting from ‘patient’ to ‘person’, reflected in the renaming of features like Patient Lookup to ‘Personal Health Record’.

• Accessible User Manual: Users can now easily access and download the latest HealthCloud User Manual, ensuring comprehensive guidance.

• Improved Medical Record Flagging: Conditions flagged due to ICD10 matches are now labelled as ‘Possible’ rather than ‘Confirmed’, promoting more accurate diagnosis and reducing confusion.

• Expanded Medical Aid Lookup: The Medical Aid Lookup feature has been expanded to include details of dependents, offering a more comprehensive overview.

• New Functionality: A separate Department of Home Affairs (DHA) check capability has been integrated, providing users with additional verification options. The solution offers a four-layer failover verification to accommodate intermittent connectivity problems that may arise with the DHA.

• Health Score Benchmark: A benchmark feature has been added to the Health Score, offering comparisons based on age and gender, enabling better assessment against similar demographics.

Looking Ahead - Future Enhancements

The Alula Technolgies team is gearing up for further enhancements to the HealthCloud platform which is scheduled for the final quarter of 2023. Anticipated additions include a HealthCloud Data Dictionary, automated user maintenance, record completeness scoring, new pathology lab integration, expanded Health Score insights, filter options, bank account and passport validation, as well as improved data insights.

"We are committed to consistently advancing HealthCloud's capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our users. Version 8.0 not only strengthens the platform's performance but also lays the foundation for even more impactful features in the near future," says Ilze Viljoen, Product Owner at Alula Technologies.
