The hospital operates 90 per cent cashless system.
The new system has significantly improved revenue collection.
The referral hospital has been experiencing an influx of outpatients and inpatients from the neighbouring counties.
To mitigate against the increasing number of patients at the PGH Level Five, the devolved unit has embarked on a Sh600million construction of an ultra-modern outpatient complex.
The automation of revenue collection at Nakuru Provincial General Hospital Level Five has significantly improved to Sh563million in the just concluded financial year.
A status report by the Nakuru County Assembly tabled in the House on Tuesday, indicated that in the 2017/2018 financial year, the referral hospital collected Sh356million.
