The answer to how to create a hospital management system and what it would cost is dependent on a range of factors –
- Features used to build hospital information management system
- Technology stack
- Software integrations
- Development team size
- Development model – in-house vs outsourcing and location
While we have already looked into the features and technology stack, we won’t be touching upon software integrations in this article because the choice of adding a new-gen technology like blockchain in healthcare or AI in healthcare is largely dependent on the project requirements. Moreover, it would increase the price range of the final hospital management software cost over a wide spectrum depending on the size of the software’s application.
Let us look into the other elements on the cost end.
