13. What were the obstacles you faced at the time of
inception?
INFOLIFE was one of the early Healthcare software solution
Technology companies from Bangalore. Those days, Technology
acceptance in the Healthcare Industry was a real challenge. Added to
it, standardization was not adopted here in the Healthcare Industry.
Customization expectation was also high from most Healthcare
Institutions, this would add to the implementation complexity.
Even today Mid Size Hospitals don’t embrace Healthcare standards, due
to a lack of knowledge as well as the shortage of trained Manpower.
How do you see the future of health care?
The Healthcare Industry evolved significantly over the last 2 decades. From
the initial expectation of HMS (Hospital Management System) Software,
purely focusing on Billing software, it’s now evolved towards HIMS
(Hospital Information Management system) Software, Clinical automation
like Laboratory Information system, RIS-PACS (Radiology Information
system – PACS), EMR, EHR, IOT Integration etc.,
We now see Health care moving towards HIT (Healthcare Information
Technology).
In addition to the above, the Healthcare Industry is adopting newer
technologies including AI (Artificial Intelligence), Prescriptive Analytics,
Predictive Analytics, Chatbot automation, Integrated IOT Devices and many
more.
The Healthcare Industry is projected to grow Several Trillion US $ in the
next 5 years.
Why did you choose health care as a profession?
From childhood I was fascinated with the Healthcare industry, I took
Computer Science as my specialization in Engineering. Early in my career,
I got an opportunity to automate Patient Billing for leading Hospitals in
Bangalore. This intrigued me and thus began my journey into Healthcare
Information Technology.
Share about your journey from the commencement.
As an entrepreneur, like many companies, we had to manage with
limited funding, manage technology changes as the market evolved
and keep pace with it.
Major challenges of the Health care Technology is to keep pace
with technology upgrades and add on new requirements like
Healthcare Standards including SNOMED-CT (Systematized
Nomenclature of Medicine -- Clinical Terms), LOINC (Logical
Observation Identifiers Names and Codes, FHIR (Fast
Healthcare Interoperability Resources) for Interoperability etc.,
14. We are currently focusing on the incorporating the above
standards.
How do you manage the promotion of your
project over social media outreach and email
campaigns?
Our business promotion has a significant uptick from our
customer referrals. Monthly email campaigns based on our
product features has had very encouraging responses from
potential customers. We are also working on increasing
our social media outreach.
What do you think about the expansion of
INFOLIFE TECHNOLOGIES PRIVATE
LIMITED?
INFOLIFE is currently focusing on Insurance driven Tele-
Consultation business model that enables INFOLIFE to
consolidate yet another business vertical. Simultaneously
we are focusing on Integrated IOT devices, enabling the
Nurses to capture vital data in a very efficient manner.
In addition to EWS (Early Warning Score), we are also
incorporating Critical Auto Vital alerts.
Give your opinion ‘The future of the Indian
health care sector?
The Indian health care sector is expected to have a big
change from the current way of functioning.
■ Provider: Private Hospitals will move to adopt certain
policy changes recommended by NDHM standards in
near future.
■ Patients: Patients will have centralised EHR (Electronic
Health Records) access for better and speedy access to
Medical records. Enables the Provider (Hospital) to
provide the right treatment protocol in an emergency.
■ Insurance:HealthInsurancesectorwillhaveasignificant
role in future for the better treatment process as well as
controls over healthcare frauds.
Canyoudescribeemergingtrendsyou&have
noticed in the HEALTHCARE industry?
Emerging trends for Management is enabling the right
automated KPI (Key Performance Indicator), for Doctors
will be empowered with Clinical assistance through CDSS
(clinical decision support system) as well as prescriptive
analytics. Patients will have centralized Health records
access, as well as Wearable, enable the health monitoring
Please tell us if there is a useful solution to
the current COVID19 scenario? Why?
Tele-consultation and Integrated IOT could be the real
game-changer for the Pre and Post covid-19 clinical
patient care. Due to a lack of patient awareness, acceptance
of teleconsultation is yet to receive momentum. INFOLIFE
would like to address these issues soon, through the
comprehensive business approach.
Differentiator of INFOLIFE’s iLifeEMR
System:
In India, the healthcare system is undergoing substantial
change in adopting new emerging technologies, But real
challenges are doctor average outpatient Consultation
time with the patients are less than 5 minutes.
Also, most Indian Doctors still prefer Paper-based manual
prescription, only less percentage of the Speciality Clinics
are adopting Template-based Clinical adoptions. But
CPOE-Computerized provider order entry (Both Drug
Prescription and Investigation Prescription) are the real
challenge of all relevant data capturing. INFOLIFE have
adopted Drug prescription Pattern techniques for easy
DatacaptureaswellasDoctorsspecialitywiseInvestigation
methodologies for easy data capture.
INFOLIFE has implemented Pen To PC device integration
for those Doctors preferring handwritten mode. We are in
R&D for adopting NLP (Natural language processing) and
ICR for the Handwritten to Digital Data.

18. MEDITECH
EHRs to Simplify and Enhance Clinicians’
Interactions with Patients
What is MEDITECH?
MEDITECH creates EHRs to make physicians’ contact
with patients easier and more efficient. Instead of
obstructing human connection, they create tools that
facilitate it.
A collaboration with MEDITECH might provide your
company with new opportunities for transformative
development.
Their goal is to be innovative.
MEDITECH aspires to contribute to a world where
every patient has access to their medical records and can
take an active role in their care. They believe that having
rapid access to records, expertise, and data will enable
healthcare organizations to serve their communities
more quickly and safely.
To that aim, they are providing improved tools for safe
and cost-effective care to healthcare companies large
and small, including their scalable Cloud Platform,
MEDITECHasaService(MaaS),andkeycollaborations
with Google and Apple. They’ll be ready for whatever
comes next thanks to upcoming advancements in areas
like mobility, genomics, and artificial intelligence.
Obtaining widespread recognition in the
business.
KLAS named MEDITECH the top Acute Care EMR and
Patient Accounting & Patient Management solution for
community hospitals, as well as the top Home Health
EHR for businesses with 1-200 average daily census,
for the seventh year in a row in 2021. For big hospitals/
IDNs and large ambulatory clinics, MEDITECH was
likewise a high performer.
MEDITECH as a Service (MaaS)
MEDITECH’s MaaS is a cloud-hosted system with
excellent physical and network security. They manage
your EHR so that you may focus on your patients.
MaaS is preferred by healthcare companies for a variety
of reasons, including:
Simple subscription
Minimal capital outlay
Streamlined contracting
MEDITECH cloud-hosted
Focused implementation for an expedited go-LIVE
System maintenance and network security handled

Their Expanse Virtual Assistant
Without having to type, point, click or even touch your
smartphone, Expanse Virtual Assistant answers to
simple voice instructions by retrieving the information
you’re looking for. Clinicians may achieve new levels of
efficiency and usefulness while focusing solely on their
patients rather than their computer systems. Expanse
Virtual Assistant is powered by the same cutting-edge
artificial intelligence that drives your smartphone and
other smart devices. As a result, it functions similarly
to the personal gadgets you’re used to. The difference
is that this virtual assistant has a medical degree — or
at the very least, has received medical training. That’s
because MEDITECH and Nuance have collaborated to
create a system that includes healthcare terminology
and expertise, ensuring that you’re not only heard but
also understood. Expanse Virtual Assistant will change
the way you utilize your EHR.
Doctors are well aware that gadgets such as keyboards,

22. What is an electronic health record (EHR)
and how does it work?
A digital counterpart of a patient’s paper chart is called
an electronic health record (EHR). EHRs are patient-
centered, real-time records that make information
available to authorized users promptly and securely.
While an EHR system does contain a patient’s medical
and treatment history, it is designed to go beyond
traditional clinical data collected in a provider’s office
and can encompass a broader view of a patient’s care.
EHRs are an important aspect of health IT because they
can:
The medical history, diagnosis, prescriptions,
treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies,
radiology pictures, and laboratory and test results of
a patient are all kept in this file.
Allow providers access to evidence-based tools for
making decisions about a patient’s care.
Providerworkflowcanbeautomatedandstreamlined.
One of the most important characteristics of an EHR is
that authorized physicians can create and manage health
information in a digital format that can be shared with
other providers across several healthcare organizations.
EHRs are designed to share data with other healthcare
providers and organizations, such as laboratories,
specialists, medical imaging centers, pharmacies,
emergency rooms, and school and workplace clinics, so
they contain data from all doctors involved in a patient’s
care.

Implementation
The majority of clinicians agree that deploying an
EHR is a long process. There is no single target or
endpoint because there is always the chance to improve
workflows or data usage. This area contains materials
to help you through the many stages of EHR adoption,
implementation, and improvement. These are some of
them:
Planning
Selecting a vendor
Contracting with a vendor
Implementing and adopting an EHR
Using your EHR
Optimizing or replacing your EHR
It’s time to think about how you can use your workflows
to improve and optimize the way you use your EHR
after you’ve spent some time using and getting to know
it. This phase of your ongoing EHR journey begins
when you add new health IT solutions, such as:
Adding a patient portal
Connecting to a health information exchange
Participating in value-based care or new payment
models
EMR vs. EHR
Electronic medical records (EMRs) are a computerized
counterpart of the clinician’s paper charts. The medical
and treatment histories of patients in a single practice
are stored in an EMR. Electronic medical records
(EMRs) provide several advantages over paper records.
EMRs, for example, enable clinicians to:
Keep track of data over time.
Identify which patients require preventive screenings or
checkups with ease.
Examinehowtheirpatientsareperformingonparticular
measures, like blood pressure or immunizations.
Within the practice, monitor and enhance the overall
quality of care.
However, information in EMRs does not easily leave
the practice. The patient’s record may have to be printed
and mailed to specialists and other members of the care
team. EMRs aren’t any better than paper records in this
aspect.
All of these things—and more—are possible with
electronic health records (EHRs). EHRs are focused
on a patient’s overall health, extending beyond normal
clinical data collected in the doctor’s office to include a
broader view of the patient’s care. EHRs are intended to
extend beyond the health institution that gathers and
combines the data in the first place. They’re designed
to share data with other healthcare providers, such as
laboratories and specialists, so they have data from all
of the professionals involved in the patient’s treatment.
The patient’s information travels with him or EHR to
the specialist, the hospital, the nursing home, the next
state, and even across the country.

24. Praxis EMR
The Template Free EMR/EHRs
Praxis EMR
Founded in 1989, Praxis EMR is an award-winning
EHR system, serving thousands of physicians across
the U.S. and globally. Praxis’s passionate focus on
efficient usability and optimal user experience is well-
reflected in the system’s strategic template-free model,
which allows for utmost flexibility and adaptation.
Due to its flexible nature, Praxis EMR is arguably the
most well suited EHR prepared to serve all different
types of specialties and can be seen across a plethora
of uniquely run institutions. While other top EHR
systems tend to prioritize the patient experience over
the physician’s, Praxis EMR uniquely prioritizes both,
making it the top rated EHR by physicians and a
compelling solution for many practices.
Praxis is a customizable cloud- or server-based
EHR system and is certified as a complete EHR
for MACRA and freely automates CMS Quality
Reporting Programs. Praxis stands out on this list
for its innovative artificial intelligence (AI) operating
system, called Concept Processing that intuitively
becomesfasterandsmarterwithgreateruse.Unlikeall
other EMRs, Praxis champions a template-free model
that is demonstrated to improve medical quality,
increase revenues of 30-40%, protect against potential
legal issues, and lower physician burnout. Praxis
EHR’s AI system and template-free model is one of
a kind and reflects on the simple but extraordinarily
important premise of medicine as an art. Praxis
acknowledges that no two doctors practice medicine
the same way and allows for utmost user freedom
in allowing physicians to transform their EHR
experience to reflect their distinct way of practicing
medicine. Additionally, Praxis houses a unique Data
Miner research tool, allowing for instant query on any
information from a select patient population-perfect
for implementing advances in health maintenance,
clinical studies, or drug trials. As such, Praxis both
promises and delivers in all aspects of increased user
efficiency and comfort for all types of specialties and
institutions, regardless of size.
Likewise, Praxis shares an intense focus on optimizing
the patient experience and improving the quality
of healthcare delivery. Such a goal is reflected in its
integratedpatient-providerportalanditscommitment
to natural template-free charting that both decreases
charting time and increases meaningful patient
engagement time. In fact, Praxis redirects two hours
of charting time to the cultivation of the important
physician-patient relationship.
Awards Achieved
Healthcare review organization-KLAS-has named
Praxis as the top EHR category leader. Additionally,
Praxis has received straight A’s from KLAS, as well as
being named the Best EHR in a plethora of categories
by Black Book. Praxis has won two prestigious
HIMSS Davies Awards for excellence in EHR, as well
as consistently being named the highest rated EHR by
physician users in reviews from notable online user
communities, such as Software Advice, Capterra and
Get App. Overall, Praxis, equipped with a unique AI
system and template-free model, is regarded as an
innovative, trustworthy, efficient, and flexible EMR
system capable of meeting and exceeding the needs of
all specialties and institutions. Praxis is more than an
EHR; Praxis is a partner. With Praxis, specialties and
institutions are well-equipped to make a meaningful
impact in the healthcare industry and in the lives of
the people they serve.

26. InSync EMR
Configurable Medical Software Solutions for Electronic
Health and Medical Records Systems
About InSync Healthcare Services
Founded as a medical transcription company in 2002,
InSync Healthcare Solutions has grown into a leading
medical software and services provider that delivers
MU-3 certified electronic medical records, practice
management, revenue cycle management, and medical
transcription solutions to practices and agencies across
all 50 states. InSync achieved this through investment in
technology and commitment to improving efficiencies,
streamlining office workflows, and optimizing clinical
experiences for providers and their patients.
When InSync first began developing their EMR
software, it was created with general practice healthcare
providers in mind. They quickly realized that mental
health providers also needed software tailored to their
specific workflows that a one-size-fits-all EMR wouldn’t
cut it. This struck a chord with Roland Therriault,
InSync’s President.
How InSync became a leader?
For Therriault, building a product that supported
mental health providers was personal, inspired by a
team of providers whose care helped recover a family
member from dire circumstances and returned him to
his family and a productive life.
“From that moment forward, I promised myself and my
family that I would make a difference,” says Therriault,
“and I think we made that difference when we built
software to support mental health and substance abuse
practices.”
InSync has since continued to develop its software for
practices that need a specialty-specific EMR, listening
to feedback from the providers themselves to create
specialized content for OB/GYNs, physical, speech,
and occupations therapists, internists, pediatricians,
community behavioral health agencies, and residential
treatment centers.
InSync’s Market Presence
Today, InSync is a leading developer of fully integrated,
cloud-based, and interoperable software for thousands
of medical, behavioural health, and rehabilitation
practices nationwide.
InSync’s configurable software includes integrated
charting, billing, scheduling, reporting, and telehealth
in a single, intuitive system with features that also
include:
A mobile-friendly interface that enables access from
anywhere at any time and on any device.
Automated claims management and insurance
eligibility verification.
A patient portal that expedites self-registration,
appointments, and e-prescriptions while enabling
patient access to lab results and health records.
Integrated with state interfaces for compliance and
reporting requirements to meet the needs of non-
profits, agencies, and government entities.

n recent years, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and
transgender (LGBT) rights in India have
progressed rapidly. However, Indian LGBT
residents continue to suffer societal and legal
challenges that non-LGBT citizens do not face. The
government has removed colonial-era regulations
that discriminated directly against homosexual
and transgender identities, as well as specifically
interpreting Article 15 of the Constitution to outlaw
discrimination based on sexual orientation and
gender identity. However, numerous legal rights,
such as same-sex marriage, have been left out. The
Supreme Court of India decriminalized consensual
gay intercourse in the landmark case of Navtej Singh
Johar v. Union of India in 2018, by reading down
Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code and removing
consenting homosexual sex between adults from its
scope.
DespitestrongpoliticaleffortsinfavorofLGBTrights,
there is still a considerable degree of homophobia in
India, with an opinion survey estimating that one out
of every four Indians opposes same-sex partnerships.
LGBT persons in India received more tolerance and
acceptance in the 2010s, particularly in big cities.
Public mentality
According to Ipsos’ online LGBT+ Pride 2021 Global
Survey, 59 percent of Indians support LGBT people

38. T
he processes and actions necessary to manage
trash from its inception to its final disposal
are referred to as waste management (or
waste disposal). This comprises waste collection,
transportation, treatment, and disposal, as well as waste
management process monitoring and control, as well as
waste-related laws, technologies, and economic systems.
Waste can be solid, liquid, or gaseous, with various
disposal and management strategies for each.
Industrial, biological, residential, municipal, organic,
biomedical, and radioactive wastes are all dealt with via
waste management. Waste can, in some situations, be
harmful to human health. Throughout the entire waste
management process, there are health concerns. Health
problems can occur in a variety of ways, both indirectly
and directly. Directly, through solid waste management,
and indirectly, through water, soil, and food use.
Human activity, such as the mining and processing of
basic resources, produces waste. Waste management
aims to limit waste’s negative effects on human health,
the environment, global resources, and aesthetics.
Disposal Methods
Landfill
A landfill is a location where waste items are buried
for disposal. Although rubbish is buried in landfills,
it is the oldest form of waste treatment; originally,
refuse was simply piled in piles or dumped into
pits. Landfills must be open and accessible to the
Waste Management: An

39. public daily. While municipalities, businesses, and
construction enterprises make up the majority of its
customers, residents are authorized to use the dump
in most situations. Landfills have long been the most
frequent way of organized garbage disposal, and they
continue to be so in many parts of the world.
Incineration
Incineration is a waste disposal procedure that
involves combusting solid organic wastes to produce
residue and gaseous products. This procedure can
be used to dispose of both municipal solid waste
and wastewater treatment solid residue. Solid waste
quantities are reduced by 80 to 95 percent with this
method. The term “thermal treatment” is used to
describe incinerators and other high-temperature
waste treatment facilities. Waste is converted into
heat, gas, steam, and ash in incinerators. Individuals
and industry carry out incineration on a local and
large scale, respectively. Solid, liquid, and gaseous
waste are all disposed of in it. It is accepted as a viable
technique of disposing of certain hazardous wastes
(such as biological medical waste). Due to concerns
such as the production of gaseous pollutants,
including significant amounts of carbon dioxide,
incineration is a contentious waste disposal method.
Incineration is widespread in nations with limited
lands, such as Japan, because the facilities do not
require as much space as landfills. Facilities that burn
waste in a furnace or boiler to generate heat, steam, or
electricity are referred to as waste-to-energy (WtE) or
energy-from-waste (EfW). Incinerator combustion
isn’t always ideal, and there have been worries
about contaminants in incinerator stack gaseous
emissions. Some very persistent organic chemicals,
such as dioxins, furans, and PAHs, may be generated
and have major environmental repercussions, as well
as some heavy metals, such as mercury and lead, that
can be volatilized in the combustion process, have
sparked particular worry.
Recycling
Recycling is a resource recovery technique that entails
collecting and reusing waste materials such as empty
beverage cans. This procedure entails dismantling
and repurposing materials that would otherwise be
discarded. There are various advantages to recycling,
and with so many new technologies allowing for
the recycling of even more materials, it is possible to
clean up the planet. Recycling is not only good for the
environment, but it is also good for the economy. The
resources used to make the things can be recycled to
create new items. Recycling materials can be collected
separately from trash using special containers and
collection vehicles, a process known as kerbside
collection. Before collection, the owner of the waste is
obliged in certain areas to segregate the materials into
different bins (e.g., for paper, plastics, and metals). In
some towns, all recyclable materials are collected in
a single bin, and sorting is done at a central location
afterward. “Single-stream recycling” is the term for the
later process. Aluminum beverage cans, copper wire,
steel from food and aerosol cans, old steel furnishings or
equipment, rubber tires, polyethylene and PET bottles,
glass bottles and jars, paperboard cartons, newspapers,
magazines, and light paper, and corrugated fiberboard
boxesareamongthemostcommonlyrecycledconsumer
products.
Also recyclable are PVC, LDPE, PP, and PS. Because
these objects are usually made of a single type of
material, recycling them into new products is extremely
simple. Complex products (such as computers and
electronic equipment) are more difficult to recycle since
they require more breakdown and separation.
Biological Reprocessing
Plant material, food scraps, and paper products are
examples of recoverable organic materials that can be
recovered using composting and digestive methods
to degrade the organic matter. The organic waste is
subsequently recycled as mulch or compost for use in
agriculture or landscaping. Furthermore, waste gas from
the process (such as methane) can be recovered and
used to generate power and heat (CHP/cogeneration),
resulting in increased efficiency. Composting and
digestion processes and technologies come in a variety
of forms. From modest home compost heaps to large-
scale industrial digestion of mixed residential waste,
they range in complexity. Biological decomposition
processes are divided into two categories: aerobic and
anaerobic. Hybrids of these two methods are used in
several methods. Anaerobic digestion of solid waste’s
organic portion is more environmentally friendly
than landfilling or incineration. The goal of biological
processing in waste management is to control and speed
up the natural process of organic matter degradation.
