Cloud-based Clinic Management System: Get a Lead on Your Competitors

clinic management system

The cloud-based clinic management system enhances a clinic’s reputation and its profitability. The system helps the doctors and small and start-up healthcare institutes in minimizing the patients’ waiting time before they get to see the doctors.

Efficiency

The cloud-based healthcare software system increases the clinic’s efficiency and productivity by automating its various activities. The patient management is one of the most important activities in a clinic. The software helps the hospital staff that is managing the front-desk in recording patients’ details, medical histories, allergies, current medications and other details that prove of at most importance in delivering succor to them.

Data on the Cloud Servers

The cloud based clinic management system stores the patient info in a database and makes it available on the cloud servers. It saves the time of staff from the other departments that they would otherwise have to spend on data-entry of the same data. The authorized users of the software can use their internet-capable smart phones, tablets, laptops, net books, or their desktops to access the data.

Paperless Clinic

There is no need to print and maintain the data and file it in the old-fashioned ways. The EMR (Electronic Medical Records) and EHR (Electronic Health Records) formats help in maintaining a paperless clinic. The software enables the users in speedy retrieval and updating of the patients’ data. The doctors can access it from anywhere and at any time to conduct their research.

The hospital administrator, as the prime user of the software, grants their colleagues access to the software and in turn, to the sensitive data, on the need to know basis. It maintains the privacy of the patients’ confidential and sensitive data.

Appointment Scheduling and Reminders

Once the patients’ details are in the database, the clinic management software, calls in a very powerful scheduling engine to schedule an appointment for the patient. It checks on the availability of the consulting rooms, the concerned doctor and schedules it on the time most convenient to the patient.

The software sends reminders in the form of Email and SMS. This approach saves the patient’s time and allows the doctors to see more patients. It also reminds the parents of the young patients about the scheduled vaccination of their child.

Profitability of the Clinic

The use of clinic management software results in greater patient satisfaction. It increases their chances of using the same healthcare facility in the future. For a business, it is best to have a plenty of satisfied clients. A large, loyal client-base is necessary to increase the profitability of any clinic.

Online Payment Facility

The cloud-based healthcare software systems provide secure and integrated Payment Gateway. The patients use it to pay their medical expenses using their credit or debit cards. The system also allows them to use Net banking or the online payment facility to do so. It handles the cash, credit as well as the private transactions with equal ease. It simplifies the medical billing and payment for the clients and the clinics. The timely recovery of dues helps the healthcare institutes to improve their liquidity.

Inventory Management

The software is also useful in inventory management. With the help of this innovative software, it becomes easy to set the maximum and minimum levels of the drugs in the stocks. It ensures the availability of the essential drugs, hospital equipment and other medical stuff. It also warns about the impending expiry of the drugs by sending drug alarms.

Productivity

The cloud based clinic management system improves the coordination of the different departments of the hospital. It also streamlines various day-to-day activities of the clinic. The software generates different types of reports as the inputs to the administration of the hospital.

Management of Multiple Clinics

The dashboard reports are graphical-based tools that convey real-time data about the various departments of the hospital. The reports assist the clinic administrators in making effective decisions. The system enables the clinic administrators to manage more than one clinic at a time.

There are no licensing fees to pay. The doctors and clinics only need to subscribe and pay small monthly fees to use the functionality of the cloud-based software.
