Getting Started with Avalon Hospital Platform
Welcome to the Avalon Hospital Platform! This guide will walk you through the essential first steps to implement our comprehensive hospital management system. By the end of this guide, you'll understand the system requirements and initial setup process for your hospital.
Important
Step 1: System Requirements
Before implementing the Avalon Hospital Platform, ensure your system meets the following requirements:
Server Requirements
- Enterprise-grade servers with redundancy
- Minimum 16 CPU cores
- 64GB RAM minimum (128GB recommended)
- 1TB SSD storage (expandable)
- 100Mbps dedicated internet connection with failover
Software Requirements
- Windows Server 2019+ or Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+)
- PostgreSQL 14+ or SQL Server 2019+
- Docker/Kubernetes for containerized deployment
- TLS certificates for secure communications
Critical
All systems must comply with healthcare data regulations (HIPAA, GDPR, etc.) relevant to your region. Consult with your compliance team before implementation.
Step 2: Implementation Planning
The Avalon Hospital Platform is designed for phased implementation. Create an implementation plan based on your hospital's priorities:
Phase 1: Core Infrastructure (Months 1-2)
Implement the base platform and integrate with existing systems.
Phase 2: Inpatient Management (Months 3-4)
Deploy admissions, transfers, discharges, bed management, and nursing care modules.
Phase 3: Clinical Services (Months 5-6)
Implement laboratory, radiology, and medication management systems.
Phase 4: Specialized Departments (Months 7-8)
Deploy operating theatre, emergency department, and maternity modules.
Phase 5: Advanced Features (Months 9-10)
Implement support services and hospital management features.
Phase 6: Quality Assurance and Deployment (Months 11-12)
Final testing, optimization, and full deployment.
Step 3: Administrator Setup
After planning your implementation, you'll need to set up administrator accounts and initial system configurations:
System Administrator
Set up primary administrator accounts with full system access.
Department Configuration
Configure department structures and hierarchies.
Step 4: Integration Setup
The Avalon Hospital Platform is designed to integrate with existing hospital systems. Set up the following integrations:
- EHR Integration: Connect with your existing electronic health records system.
- PACS Integration: Link with your Picture Archiving and Communication System.
- LIS/RIS Integration: Connect with existing laboratory and radiology information systems.
- Billing/Finance: Integrate with your hospital's financial and billing systems.
