Transforming Patient Care: SLSU's Tech Innovation Enhances OB-Gyne Clinic Experience
As the University Faculty of Southern Leyte State University (SLSU) pushes for innovative advancements in patient care, an information and queuing system innovation has been established in the OB-Gyne clinics. The innovative project was headed by researcher G. Mangmang, R. Malangsa, and J.J.M. Rina who belongs to the College of Computer Studies and Information Technology. It addresses the largest and most common issue of health that is waiting long queues and poor flow in terms of patients. Now with new development utilizing the patient through SMS notification status for appointment, it reduces uncertainty, therefore enhancing comfort. That's one invention, though; there is so much a difference when weighed alongside means to date in so far as sending information necessary in time about the schedule made regarding appointments.

Such an endeavor reflects the commitment of the researchers to use technology for real-world problems. Taking the digital approach, OB-Gyne clinic has changed much in service delivery in order to move towards the more patient-centric model. This study points out that innovation in healthcare is needed as it demonstrates how gaps could be bridged using technology and make the system more efficient and responsive. The SLSU possesses a faculty whose passion revolves around research and innovation toward moving forward in delivering improved health services. As an action, this only translates to how the university leads in the community in the aspect of information technology while drawing much attention to welfare services in its community. Indeed, since changes in healthcare don't stand still, this keeps progressing, and over here at SLSU, they are at the helm.
