The Healthcare system is a very complex system using multiple information technology systems. Vendors are absorbing different standards for the same systems which in turn shows certain inefficiency leading to errors in the healthcare information. This affects the patient’s medical information and the medical information is also not shared with the healthcare community members.There are 25 major industries. All 25 of the major industries shamelessly copy technology from the other industries to improve their services. Except one. The healthcare industry !Many hospital owners in India are confronted with a lack of a complete Hospital management system, lack of an electronic medical records system, that they could access from anywhere at any time for their hospitals. They are confronted with a lack of proper tracking system to reduce errors. The challenge is to create a solution to the many issues and challenges faced by hospitals. Remember, India caters to the medical needs of 1.25billion population.The SolutionPresent age Hospital Information System integrates different information systems into one single efficient system. It can be accessed from anywhere anytime from any web enabled device. An ideal HIS solves the problems inherent in a network of multiple programs that are not compatible. It can integrate almost any type of services, systems, departments, processes, data, communication, etc. that exist in a hospital. It can even handle non- medical services or functions like security, maintenance, etc. It is modular and highly scalable. Even if hospital are located in remote areas with poor internet connectivity, works offline and syncs later. It reduces medical errors and improves quality of care. To study how Indian hospitals were coping without a good HIS, I went from hospital to hospital to see how HAI was monitored. The number of deaths happening in hospitals due to HAI is high. Hospitals do not have tools to analyze data. – if they did analyze, they did nothing! i.e.they were in a in a phase of ‘analysis Paralysis’. Other challenges faced by hospitals were purchasing, running and maintaining large IT infrastructure and resources. Intercommunication is difficult, poor internet connectivity and obsolescence of existing software.

It has been twenty-four years since the Peak Oil, and fourteen – since the world-wide economic collapse (and the Peak Everything.) No, there are no nuclear fall-outs and no zombies on the streets! The Civilization lives on. But: it is a very strange new world. In some ways – similar, and in some ways – totally different from our own. What does the future hold for us?This novel is both a classic police detective and a social science fiction. Or, you may call it a dystopian warning. As the name suggests, the action happens in not-so-distant future. The detective part is thrilling: an FBI Special Agent follows a serial killer case. In the science fiction part, the reader will not find any robots, or flying cars, or super-computers. The end of our world does not come from zombies raised from the graves (although one “zombie” is positively present.) There are no viruses that kill a person in under thirty seconds (although, there are viruses that positively can kill.) There are no continent-size volcanoes, asteroid showers and aliens from the outer space, and no Noah's Flood (although one flood is positively present, but very local.) Does not sound too scary to be a good read? Well, the global catastrophe described in the book is presently on-going! The world created by the author's imagination is remarkably similar and at the same time - remarkably dissimilar to our own, and yet – believable.
