Cellma and Diabetes Care: A New Era of Patient-Centred Management
Every day, the departments of diabetes care face a challenge in managing the complex needs of patients with diabetes. From the care plans for patients at different levels of conditions to managing data and ensuring proper communication among care teams, diabetes care has become highly multifaceted. According to diabetes UK, over 5.6 million people are living with diabetes including both diagnosed and undiagnosed cases. Each of these patients requires customised care, continuous monitoring, and fluid access to healthcare professionals–all demands that often push the resources and healthcare givers to their limits. For the diabetes care unit to cater to these requirements, a system that provides effective management of patient details, appointment management, and customised care plans is required; enter Cellma.
Cellma optimises the hospital’s operations and management. This not only alleviates the hospital administration, but also enhances patients’ experience. Through various modules of Cellma, patients’ hospital journey is smooth.

What is diabetes?
Diabetes is the underlying condition that causes elevated blood sugar. It develops when the pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin or any at all, or when the body isn’t responding to the effects of insulin properly. Diabetes affects people of all ages.
For diabetic patients, managing diabetes involves handling multiple aspects of care. The Challenges of Diabetes Management a hospital and clinic face are:
- Regular blood sugar monitoring
- Following up the medication and lifestyle changes
- Document and prescriptions management
- Keeping track of lab results and medical history
- Frequent visits to healthcare providers for consultation
Due to the lack of an integrated system healthcare providers face incomplete or delayed access to vital information, affecting the quality of care and patient outcomes.
How Cellma Transforms Diabetes Care-
Cellma is an all-in-one HIMS solution that addresses challenges by providing a platform that streamlines all aspects of diabetes management. With administrative tasks and clinical management, Cellma brings together all aspects of patient care. Cellma can integrate across various hospital departments and ensure that healthcare providers have quick access to important information.
Here’s how Cellma enhances diabetes care with its modules:
Electronic Patient Record (EPR):
The Electronic Patient Record (EPR) module of Cellma has a centralised digital storage for all patient information. From demographics to medical history, every piece of data is easily accessible to authorised healthcare providers. In the EPR module, the patient’s data is recorded throughout their care pathways irrespective of where the services were delivered. EPR module is completely integrated for bi-directional connectivity.
Patient Administration System (PAS):
With Cellma’s Patient Administration System (PAS), administrative tasks such as patient registration, appointment scheduling, and admission/discharge processes are simplified. PAS module includes the referral procedure to specialised consultants. Also, in Cellma, appointments can be booked using the web portal or app.
Document Management:
Cellma’s document management module stores all the patient documents related to diabetes, including consent forms, diabetes treatment plans, summaries, securely and are easily accessible to the healthcare providers. This reduces the risk of lost paperwork and enhances the efficiency of hospital operations by providing a centralised storage for all important documents.
Lab Management:
Regular lab tests are important for monitoring diabetes. With Cellma’s lab module test results are seamlessly integrated into the patient’s record. With automated workflows, HbA1c levels, kidney function tests, and cholesterol levels are automatically updated in the EPR of diabetic patients, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring timely interventions. Through Cellma’s lab module, patient care providers effectively manage all pathology requests, reports, and findings within their institution linked to their patient’s records. Cellma can integrate with the existing lab analysers or third-party technology and transfer all the information.
E-Pharmacy:
The E-Pharmacy module of Cellma integrates prescription management with the hospital’s pharmacy. Diabetes medications can be prescribed electronically, and pharmacists receive the prescriptions in real-time. Cellma’s Pharmacy Medicines Management & Medicines Administration are seamlessly integrated with each other and ensures quality, safety, and efficiency for all prescribed and dispensed items. Cellma’s E-pharmacy & E-prescribing module is integrated with the billing module and hence, it automatically records and generates patient-level costing.
Communication:
Communication is important for smooth diabetes care. Cellma’s communication module allows healthcare providers to communicate without any issues and provides secure messaging and collaboration tools. Patient can participate and take their health care in their own hands through self-registration, feedback, and access to specific parts of their medical record. Hospital administration can inform the patient about their tests results, upcoming appointments and treatment options.
Telemedicine Solution:
Cellma supports telehealth services, enabling virtual consultations and remote monitoring. Diabetic patient can confirm, cancel, or re-schedule telemedicine appointments to suit their availability. It reduces no-shows significantly with appointment confirmations and reminders about upcoming remote consultations via the patient app and portal.
Finance and Billing:
Cellma’s Finance and Billing module simplifies the financial operations of a hospital. It handles everything from the patient’s diabetes treatment’s billing to insurance claims processing and ensures accuracy and transparency. The finance and appointment module in Cellma is completely connected. As a result, patients get automatic billing for each treatment episode and the service provided at the department. For the local, national or procurement requirements, automatic reports are generated. Automatic reports are created whenever needed for local, national, or procurement requirements. With such filtered data, you can see where resources can be managed more ideally.
Business Intelligence and Reporting:
The Business Intelligence and Reporting module provides diabetes department and the hospital as whole with valuable insights into the departments and hospital’s operations, through advanced analytics and reporting tools. Cellma’s Business Intelligence and Reporting module provides clinical, managerial and financial reports on all data stored within an organisation. Every single piece of data can be accessed in three easy-to-read formats. Our dynamic dashboards give you a snapshot of any specific key performance indicators, customisable to present only the data you need.
Patient Portal:
Cellma’s Patient Portal provides one-stop access for those dealing with diabetes to their medical information. Through a safe login, patients can monitor blood sugar levels, track their progress, review previous appointments, and even view information about diabetes management. Cellma’s patient portal allows a patient complete control over his or her data so that the patient understanding of the condition might be improved and timely readjustments can be initiated with healthcare providers. Moreover, the patient can view test results and schedule an appointment, while the patient portal will automatically remind the patient about check-ups—making diabetes care much easier than ever before.
Referral Portal:
The Referral Portal helps Cellma connect patients to the specialty in an easier manner. In complicated cases of diabetes or for those who require secondary care, the referral process is streamlined and makes coordination among service providers easy. All the endocrinologist, dietitian, and other specialties can be referred by primary physicians easily and sharing important data about the patient, the procedure for their referral is safe and quick. This streamlined process prevents long waiting times and discontinuity of care. Also, it keeps the patients aware about each step of the procedure.
Cellma effectively transforms diabetes care by streamlining patient information, lab management, supporting medication follow-ups, and engaging patients in their care. For patients, this means better management of their condition, fewer complications, and an improved quality of life. Cellma elevates operational efficiency, patient outcomes and satisfaction.
