ABBOTTABAD:

The Ayub Teaching Hospital (ATH) Abbottabad on Tuesday unveiled the "Bill E-Tracking System," a first-of-its-kind initiative in the province.

The software was designed and developed by Deputy Director IT Engineer Shahryar Ali and his team which aims to bring transparency to the hospital's billing process and expedite payment transactions, aligning with the directives of the Board of Governors of Ayub Medical Complex and Hospital Director, Dr Atif Lodhi.

The newly implemented Bill E-Tracking System at Ayub Teaching Hospital operates seamlessly, tracking the processing and payment of bills without hindrance. Employing advanced technology in a centralised system, it monitors the entire lifecycle of a bill, from collection in the accounts department to approval and clearance.

Dr Lodhi said the implementation of the Bill E-Tracking System is poised to elevate ATH’s healthcare services to international standards. It is expected to foster beneficial relationships with suppliers, enabling prompt transactions for goods and services and contributing to more effective working conditions. The system offers a myriad of benefits, including enhanced transparency and increased efficiency, all aligned with the hospital's core mission of providing exemplary patient care.
