SM Foundation helps transform healthcare in communities through tech

For decades, community health centers survived on paper. Handwritten charts, overstuffed logbooks, and filing cabinets formed the backbone of daily operations.

Although the paper system had long been serviceable, it slowed health professionals: locating one patient record could take several minutes, missing charts derailed schedules, and limited storage left staff scrambling for makeshift filing solutions in already cramped spaces.

Through its community consultations, SM Foundation began to pivot and transition to help redefine how care is delivered in communities through DigiKonsulta.

THE DIGITAL PIVOT

DigiKonsulta is a component of the Wellness Center Program of the SM Foundation.

In tandem with infrastructure upgrades, the initiative was designed to strengthen health centers for the digital age and help them meet compliance, accreditation, and licensing requirements from relevant government agencies. It serves as both an upgrade and an equalizer, ensuring that even small or remote facilities can meet modern healthcare standards.
