Tafnit 2010 is the most popular medical center management system in Israel, implemented at most leading hospitals. Tafnit 2010 implements with the most advanced concepts of modern medical center management. The system brings to Israel a comprehensive ERP approach to hospital management. Beyond increased efficiency in the operation and management of hospitals, the system provides a real-time picture of the situation at every levels of medical, administrative, financial, and logistic management.

The system is based on Oracle database and development tools, in combination with additional infrastructure tools and mechanisms implemented in the course of adapting the system to the unique needs of medical centers.

Tafnit 2010 consists of dedicated modules that together encompass the range of organizational activities in health center management. Implementation of Tafnit 2010 was guided by the principle of integrative management of enterprise resources, with all modules completely integrated and all relying on the same database, without interfaces between them.

The administrative system

The administrative system contains the following modules:

·         Patient management (ATD). Patient management processes in Tafnit 2010 include all stages from arrival to the medical institution to discharge: intake, hospitalization process, surgeries, angiography and various other procedures, recording and centralizing hospitalization expenses, invoice generation for hospitalization as well as for additional or complementary treatments, and settlements with the various payers (health services, insurance companies, etc.). The system records and follows up on all procedures undergone by the patients until discharge, including a detailed summary of the surgery and the hospitalization.
The system manages the health center staff, including certifications, specializations, clinics, as well as the various agreements and settlements with physicians.

·         Appointments / allocations. The system provides an advanced and efficient resource allocation application for the management of the organization’s work schedules. It incorporates a sophisticated graphic mechanism integrated with the work processes of Tafnit 2010 that enables intelligent use of organizational data and process infrastructures to meet all resource allocation needs, including patients, operating rooms, staff, devices, equipment, therapists, instructors, technicians, shift workers, and more.

·         Management and operation of operating rooms. This module manages and documents the entire surgery process, including pre-operative testing, anesthesia, surgery and recovery, recording and follow-up of procedures, medications, the use of various supplies during surgery, continued treatment and follow-up in hospital wards until discharge, and the generation of a summary that contains the details of the surgery and hospitalization.
The operating room management system supports several methods of managing the equipment and supplies used during surgery, including the case card system and methods of equipment and supplies issue directly in the operating room.

·         Angiography management. This module manages and documents the entire angiography process, from the time the patient enters the cath lab and including team data collection, recording of the nursing chart information, use of supplies, and report on ancillary procedures performed during catheterization. The module fully supports situations of change in the course of the angiography. At the end of the procedure the system generates surgery documents that contain a detailed summary of the procedure, a summary of inputs, and a patient chart.

·         Terminal system. Computerized board that displays at central locations in the medical center the status of hospitalized patients from the moment of their arrival, including their hospitalization, surgery, transfer to the recovery room, and return to the ward. The data are displayed in real-time, in parallel with the procedures that accompany patient movements, including procedures taking place in the operating room. The terminal system helps improve the patient’s relations with their loved ones and with the institution during hospitalization.

The logistic system

Logistic management contains standard logistic modules adapted to the nature of the activity of the medical center, as well as dedicated modules that support unique activities and processes at the medical center, such as:

·         Management of computerized storage of medical equipment and medications. Management of the inventory in storage, order generation for restocking, automatic identification of people authorized to open the electric locks. The module helps the close tracking of equipment and medications and prevents their transfer to unauthorized persons.

·         Pharmacy management. Management of batching and expirations, issue of medications by individual prescriptions, full support for the process of medication production and repackaging for use in the departments, production versions, and product trees.

·         Sterilization. Management of the production and packaging of operating room kits (serial and non-serial), production floor workstation management in the sterilization process, tracking of inputs and outcomes in the sterilization process, inventory management and the management of charges to the operating departments for missing items in the kits returned to the production and rebuilding department, and internal charges between operating rooms and the sterilization departments.

·         Production and distribution of food. Management of food orders, production and distribution according to distribution sheets and distributors. The system manages the menus, recipes, and costs of production. Managers are reported the cost of each meal per patient, department, and hospital. Supports simulations.

·         Laundry management. Management of agreements with providers of laundry services, pickup and return processes, the automatic operation of electronic scales connected to the system, and monitoring of weight. Distribution of laundry to the departments according to standards/missing items, orders, population density, and priorities. The system reduces lost items to a minimum.

The financial system

Tafnit 2010 supports all financial processes in the medical institution, including those common in institutions and business organizations and those unique to medical organizations: bookkeeping, suppliers, customers, cashier, reconciliation, budget (including departmental budgets), pricing, permanent assets, financial and pricing reports, account settling with payers (health services, insurance companies), and more.
