Advanced Orthopaedic Solution for Modern Healthcare: Streamline Operations with Cellma
Orthopaedics is the branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders related to bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Orthopaedics deals with everything from fracture care to degenerative diseases and helps thousands regain movement, improve quality of life, and maintain rehabilitation. Advanced technology is therefore needed for orthopaedic procedures and treatments to meet the increased demand, ensure efficient care, and manage the needs of patients. Cellma, our advanced HIMS, is the ultimate orthopaedic solution that streamlines workflows, improves patient results, and further helps healthcare providers deliver valuable care.

Orthopaedics in Numbers: A Growing Need:
Orthopaedic is one of the fastest-expanding specialty around the globe. The need for care also goes beyond operations. According to NHS UK, in 2021-22, trauma and orthopaedics was the second most attended outpatient specialty in the UK, numbering at 6.7 million attendances. This increased to 7.2 million in 2023-24. As of March 2024, over 800,000 patients remain on waiting lists, many enduring prolonged pain and deteriorating conditions.
Orthopaedic departments experience a range of challenges including:
Tremendous patient volumes: Treating millions of patients every year is quite trying for resources.
Prolonged waiting periods: Delays in treatment can exacerbate conditions, which then affects patient quality of life.
Disconnected workflows: Inconsistencies between systems make it impossible to integrate care between departments.
Massive complexity in data handling: High volumes of clinical, operational, and financial data overwhelm the hospital management.
How Cellma Changes the Standards for Orthopaedic Solutions:
Cellma our advanced EMR solution, comprises a range of modules to address the issues in orthopaedic care. From increasing efficiency and communication, ensuring the best experience for the patient and provider alike, every module and feature has been crafted specifically to meet these needs.
Patient Administration System (PAS) module:
Cellma’s PAS module provides simplifications in patient registration, appointment scheduling, and bed management. It traces the patient’s journey from referral to discharge to ensure orthopaedic departments work effectively. For example, it can conduct real-time booking for the operating theatre slots to avoid delays and optimise resource utilisation.
Electronic Patient Records (EPR) module:
The EPR module consolidates patient information, providing orthopaedic teams immediate access to medical histories, radiological reports, and treatment plans. With time-based tracking of improvement, comparison of pre- and post-surgical data, and powerful analysis features in a secure, user-friendly interface, the clinician is in command.
Imaging module:
Orthopaedic care is highly dependent on diagnostic imaging, including X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. Cellma imports images and their findings directly into the patient record, so clinicians can view and analyse the images without having to leave the system they are using. The imaging module saves time and assures accurate treatment planning.
Lab Management:
Cellma streamlines test ordering, tracking, and result management for patients requiring lab tests, especially orthopaedic patients. For example, preoperative tests for joint replacements will be arranged without any hassle, thus ensuring timely interventions.
Document Management:
Orthopaedic care generates a lot of paperwork ranging from consent forms to surgical notes. Cellma’s document management module allows for automatic digitisation and organisation of such records while they remain readily accessible with minimal burdens from administration.
E-Pharmacy module:
Cellma’s e-pharmacy module is a means of simplifying orthopaedic prescription management by connecting the clinician with the pharmacy without an intermediary. All prescriptions of post-operative pain management and rehabilitation medications can be made and monitored electronically to reach the patient on time.
Communication Module:
Cellma fills the gaps in communication between orthopaedic teams, administrators, and patients. Automated appointment reminders, secure messaging, and alerts keep everyone informed and coordinate more and ensure fewer missed appointments.
Theatre Module:
Theatre Module forms part of managing surgical procedures of any orthopaedic department. This module provides theatre scheduling support for efficient management by keeping track of the utilization in the operating rooms and the management of the allocation of surgical staff. Real-time updates on availability of operating rooms ensure optimisation of resources, and integrating the data on surgeries will enable tracking of every procedure from patient preparation through recovery after surgery. It reduces delays and enhances flow while supporting better decision-making for the management of theatres.
Multi-Disciplinary Module:
The multi-disciplinary module would allow for teamwork since orthopaedic teams can more easily operate cohesively across departments. It also allows surgeons, physiotherapists, radiologists and so forth to gain access to shared patient data so they are in synch with others dealing with the aspects of a patient’s care. This module supports collaborative treatment planning, hence enabling teams to deliver more personalized, effective care, especially for complex cases such as joint replacements and trauma care.
Business Intelligence and Reporting Module:
With proper reporting tools, Cellma provides the orthopaedic departments an opportunity to gain insight into key metrics such as waiting times, procedure outcomes and resource utilisation. Predictive analytics can enable forecast demand and proactive resource planning.
Patient Portal:
Cellma’s Patient Portal enables the patient to control personal orthopaedic health. Thus, patients can set appointments; review medical records; inspect the outcome of imaging tests; and track their rehabilitation programme. Transparency increases collaboration and boosts patient satisfaction.
Referral Portal:
Cellma’s Referral Portal makes it possible to switch between primary care providers and orthopaedic specialists seamlessly without causing delays. Real-time tracking ensures timely consultation by specialists and full care for the patients.
The demand for orthopaedic solutions only continues to grow, and at this point in time, that need is more pressing than ever for high-end, integrated technology. Cellma answers all those needs head-on with holistic tools that can optimise workflows, reduce wait times, and improve patient outcomes.
