The Dental Service Unit has several facilities such as the Dental Clinics, Dental Laboratories and the X-ray rooms. The establishment of this unit is part of the main necessities in the teaching of dentistry. It is the cornerstone of clinical practice at the undergraduate level. The facilities provided will also be expanded to accommodate clinical practices at the postgraduate level in various dental expertise.
To ease the management of patient records, the e-Clinical system was developed as a means of support to enhance the quality of records used in two locations – the Students Health Unit at the Nilai campus of USIM and also the Dental Service Unit at the Pandan Indah campus.
This system is fully functional as from July 2009 and it is a medical operation system that comes equipped with additional features like data entry, maintenance, inquiry and interactive reporting.
According to the Vice Chancellor of USIM, Prof. Dato’ Dr. Abdul Shukor Hj. Husin, the development of this e-Clinical system is another important effort in USIM’s strategic planning for ICT. Three parties, namely the Department of Knowledge Management and Information Technology (PPITM), the Faculty of Dentistry and the Students Health Unit, Department of Student Affairs, helmed the development and implementation of this system.
