Workflows in higher education institutions like colleges and universities are essential for managing data security, student relationships, staff requirements, and other activities. When it comes to medical colleges, the complexity of the workflow increases due to the number of students, fee structure, courses, duration of courses, staff members, hostel facility, attached hospital, readiness to adopt new technology, staff competencies, and more. To justify the costs, keep up education standards, and attract the right kind of talent, a seamless workflow is necessary. ERP solutions such as Campus Medicine provide a platform to meet these needs; the solutions help in communication and data sharing, security protocols, access control, transport management, cafeteria management, report making, and fee implementation.

Over the next few weeks in my articles, I shall be elaborating on how medical campus ERP solutions act as an insurance for medical campuses by addressing the individual challenges faced by each of the key stakeholders in a healthcare education campus. We shall address issues and discuss probable solutions along with best international practices. Over this journey I shall also share a few case studies and success/failure stories as well.
