form an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Repository.
You can manage your Electronic Health Records (EHR) effectively with this bespoke software.
K-Afya provides a range of features that enable healthcare professionals to view medical records, manage patient healthcare plans, & access medication & equipment inventory.
K-Afya Modules
A software architecture is the conceptual model that defines the structure, behavior & more views of a software. Here is ours.
PATIENT REGISTRATION & TRIAGE MODULE
The first step in the registration process in the K-AFYA Hospital Information Management Software involves the capture of personal biometric data from the patient.
Next, the Triage phase comes in where the patients vitals are quickly recorded. The nurse at this station reviews previous visits, enters nursing notes and insurance cover information.
Some of the crucial information recorded at the triage department include auto calculation of BMI, blood pressure, cardex, dehydration, drugs & food allergies, mental status, pain severity, pulse, respiratory rates & temperature readings.
Once this information has been recorded, the system will automatically queue the patient to the doctor's schedule of patient visitors.
The queue system can be integrated further to be displayed on a display monitor screen placed on the waiting lobby. This is so as to help patients check on the doctor's schedule and check on their turn.
OUTPATIENT MODULE
This module is responsible for recording all interactions between the patient and a doctor.
This information is comprised of chief complaints by the patient, examination findings and investigations,
history of presenting illness (HPI), patient diagnosis, doctors summary and patient allergies recorded.
The doctor can also select the diagnosis from a ICD 10/ ICD 11 compliant diagnosis selection input module.
In cases where the patient is back for a review from a previous visit to the hospital, the system has availed a quick button
that enables the doctor to view the Patient Electronic Medical Records (EMR).
The Patient EMR acts like a data bank for the patient. This ensures that their data is available to all other departments within the hospital at the click of a button.
The outpatient module also avails laboratory test results to the doctor all at a click of a button. The doctor can then review the patient's case file or even review the drugs he/she had sought to prescribe.
LABORATORY MODULE
The Laboratory module focuses on the operations of the Laboratory Information System (LIS).
These operations involve the collection, processing & storage of medical data used by laboratory technicians to examine
samples & accurately report on the findings so as to assist the doctor to diagnose ailments at a timely manner.
The system displays the doctor who initiated the laboratory test, automatically assigns the order
to the next available lab technologist & appends his/her name to the laboratory report thereafter.
The Lab Information Software module is equipped with a number of critical lab tests pre-installed on the platform.
These tests can be defined into the following categories ; Auto Antibody Screen, Biochemistry, Haematology, Histology,
Microbiology, Microscopy, Parasitology & Serology.
The laboratory technologist can enter the results in terms of parameters, findings or notes observed.
Once the laboratory technician posts the results, the system automatically notifies the doctor in
charge who can then call in the patient & inform him/her of their diagnosis & either write a
prescription or order further tests.
The system also avails reports on all tests conducted on a daily basis & can also prepare an
analysis on the most frequently ordered test for purposes of ordering extra test specimen tools in advance.
These reports can also provide crucial information on revenue collection trends in the laboratory module.
PHARMACY MODULE
Once a doctor posts a prescription on the K-Afya Hospital Information Management Software, the software invoices the patient
account & sends the request to the pharmacy department.
Dispensation of drugs only happens after the billing office sends a notification of
full payment. This guarantees the absolute accuracy & transparency of the movement of drugs in stock.
The software has a running balance of all stock levels for the medicines stored in the inventory. The system categorizes drugs into capsules, creams, drops, injections, ointments, powders, sprays, suspensions, syrups & tablets.
You can easily access drug consumption reports such as the monthly workload reports, Malaria drugs reports, anti-biotic drugs reports and those according to age - Under five and Over five.
The system also automatically notifies you 30 days before the expiry of drugs to ensure the safety of the patients being served. The Pharmacy module can also be implemented as a standalone at chemists and pharmacy stores.
ADDITIONAL CRITICAL MODULES
K-AFYA has a number of critical and optional modules and features that form the foundation of the system architecture and
modeling.
These critical modules have been developed & designed to suit the typical day to day operations in a normal hospital
environment as described by medical personnel working in a variety of Kenya's busiest hospitals.

BULK SMS SERVICES
Bulk SMS services are integral to the software as a mode of communication & alert notification.
We have partnered with an International Service Provider (ISP) to help us provide the best services to our clientele.
For this, we recommend the purchase of a Sender ID that will be used as the title for any sms sent to members by the software.
This will promote the authenticity of the communication channel to members.
Sender IDs are sourced for all networks that you intend to send messages to.
For example, you will be at liberty to choose whether you want to purchase one for Safaricom, Airtel or Telkom.
Each of these have a one-off fee of Kshs 10,000.
The only other cost involved in this services is the purchase of SMS bundles which can cost anywhere between Kshs 0.4 to 0.8
dependent on the number of SMS purchased.
BANK & M-PESA INTEGRATION
The Hospital Management Software has the capacity for integration with a number of banks such as Co-operative Bank, Equity Bank,
Family Bank, KCB, DTB & M-Pesa.
This allows seamless communication between the financial institutions & the hospital at no extra fee.
The software will receive debit notifications whenever clients make payments to the hospital
irrespective of the channel they use.
This in turn reduces the need to manually post transactions because the data is
automatically dispensed within the software.
This kind of transactions promote transparency & accuracy of the
transactional data from clients. It also serves to ease up on the laborious tasks of banking reconciliation.
CASH BOOK & GENERAL LEDGER MODULE
The Cash book captures all Accounts Receivables & Accounts Payables like Bill payments & Insurance payments, Creditor
payments, Incomes & Expenses etc.
The software enables faster adaptation of these transactions into the financial platform with the integration of Banks &
M-Pesa notifications to ensure synchronization of information & fasttrack data processing.
The General Ledger is composed of financial reports that are necessary in the day to day running of business firms.
Therefore, submission of vital documentation to the regulators will be easy & automated.
