Pointwest, leading IT company in the Philippines and Amazon Web Services (AWS), the brand of the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, conducted a lunch forum “Re-envisioning Digital Healthcare” held on Wednesday, October 16, 2019, at The Bellevue Manila, Northgate Ave, Alabang, Muntinlupa, Metro Manila.
Over 50 attendees composed of directors, administrators, medical records officers, and IT officers from various hospitals were present at the event.
The forum focused on the crucial role technology plays in accelerating the progress of healthcare, with three topics: transforming hospital operations using an integrated end-to-end hospital system like iPatientCare, digitizing paper records using intelligent OCR Skriba, and saving on cost by using secured AWS Cloud Hosting versus the traditional office-based data center. These technologies support the demand for more efficient and future-ready medical services.
Pointwest President and CEO Ma. Cristina “Beng” Coronel delivered the Opening Remarks.
The event began with an Opening Remarks from Ma. Cristina “Beng” Coronel, who advocated Pointwest’s products in ensuring quality healthcare and compliance to standards. “Through Pointwest’s healthcare technologies, you can implement what is required by healthcare regulating bodies in terms of technologies for hospitals,” Ms. Coronel said. This was supported by Pointwest Head of Healthcare Market Circle Rhea Latoga, who shared Pointwest’s offerings to the medical sector as powered by RPA, Application Modernization, and other technologies.
Head of Healthcare Market Circle Rhea Latoga talked about Pointwest and its offerings geared for the healthcare industry.
Next on the floor was Pointwest Artificial Intelligence Capability Head Mac Aydinan, who discussed how document digitization through the new AI product of Pointwest, Skriba, can help hospitals convert roomfuls of paper-based records into the digital format. Through partners such as AWS, Skriba is offered by Pointwest as an end-to-end digitization service that includes grooming and scanning of the paper documents, digitization proper, and; storage and management of the scanned information.
Pointwest Artificial Intelligence Capability Head Mac Aydinan discussed document digitization for hospitals.
Pointwest Business Development Manager JL Botor discussed the Ideal Healthcare Ecosystem which can be achieved through Pointwest’s iPatientCare. The system has been applied both to local and US hospitals. “Together, Let us Create the Future of a Modern Philippine Healthcare”, JL Botor said.

“We hope we were able to provide you with a better vision of the future of healthcare,” he added.
