Inside the app

What is inside the hospital suite

Each department works in its own app, and all of them read and write the same patient visit.

  • Reception and queues

    Walk-in and returning-patient registration, appointments, queue tickets, Call Next Patient, a check-in kiosk and a TV queue board for the waiting room.

  • Outpatient clinic

    Consultations with SOAP templates, diagnoses, prescriptions, a drug-interaction table, quick order sets, immunisation schedules and specialty charts such as dental.

  • Laboratory

    Lab requests, samples, a results inbox, a critical-values list, an analyser register, QC runs, proficiency testing and send-outs to reference labs.

  • Theatre

    OR schedule, pre-op checklists, anaesthesia records, operative notes, PACU recovery, an implant register, complications and a voice cockpit for the WHO checklist.

  • Wards and admissions

    Pre-admission, admission, transfers and discharge, a bed map by ward, bed cleaning and maintenance queues, length-of-stay reporting and mortuary intake.

  • Emergency department

    Rapid triage into red, yellow and green, an ED whiteboard, trauma documentation, observation charts, handovers, ambulance receive and mass-casualty activation.

  • Billing and cashier

    Charges from every department roll into bills, with deposits, discount requests, refunds, cash sessions, a cashier checkout and service tariffs.

  • Pharmacy and stores

    Prescriptions, pharmacy dispensing and a pharmacy till with its own payment methods, while hospital stores log requisitions, cold-chain checks, donations, wastage and audits.

Step by step

Follow one patient from the front desk to a paid bill

Each step belongs to a different department and app, all working on the same visit record.

  1. Step 1

    Register and queue

    Reception registers the walk-in or finds the returning patient, books the appointment and issues a queue ticket for the waiting-room board.

    Reception
  2. Step 2

    Consult and order

    The doctor opens the chart, writes the SOAP note, records the diagnosis, prescribes and raises lab requests from the consultation itself.

    Consultation / OPD
  3. Step 3

    Test and dispense

    The laboratory collects samples and releases flagged results, while pharmacy dispenses the prescription and the dispensing lands on the patient's charges.

    Laboratory
  4. Step 4

    Admit or operate

    When needed, the patient is admitted to a free bed from the Bed Map or booked into theatre with a pre-op checklist.

    Wards & Inpatient
  5. Step 5

    Bill and collect

    Charges gather on the bill, split between patient and insurer, and the cashier collects at Cashier Checkout or sends a mobile money request such as an M-Pesa STK push.

    Billing & Cashiering
  6. Step 6

    Post and report

    Bills raise customer invoices for patient and insurer in Accounting, and the revenue, collection-rate and service-profitability reports pick them up.

    Accounting

Keep every sample, result and turnaround time in sight

The lab works from its own board of requests, and doctors see released results against the consultation that ordered them.

Laboratory Lab Requests kanban board with patient test requests across workflow stages
Laboratory

Every request on one board

Each lab request carries its priority, target and actual turnaround hours and a breach flag, so late work stands out before a doctor has to chase it.

Laboratory Results Inbox list with test results, values and abnormal flags
Laboratory

Abnormal results flagged for review

The Results Inbox lists each value with its reference range, flag and validation stage, and critical highs and lows get their own Critical Values list for immediate follow-up.

Every test, bed night and procedure reaches the bill

Departments raise charges as they deliver care, and the cashier and the insurer each see their own share.

Billing Charges list with services, amounts, insurer share and patient share
Billing & Cashiering

Charges split between patient and insurer

Each charge carries its tariff, quantity, discount, tax, insurer share and patient share, and links back to the lab request, admission or surgery.

Tools that help clinicians spend less time on paperwork

Modules installed alongside the core departments, ready to switch on as each team adopts them.

  • Ambient scribe for consultations

    An ambient recording can be attached to a consultation, and AI draft notes are generated from it for the doctor to review and accept.

  • Voice cockpit in theatre

    Theatre teams can work through the WHO surgical safety checklist from a voice cockpit, with 19 checklist items and 13 voice commands configured.

  • Medication administration record

    Nurses record doses against each admission's medication administration record, with a barcode medication administration module for scanning at the bedside.

  • Decision support for prescribers

    Clinical decision support and clinical-alert modules sit beside a drug-interaction table of 26 rules that pharmacists and doctors can extend.

  • Telehealth from the same diary

    Appointments can carry a teleconsultation link or a Google Meet address, so doctors see remote patients from the same schedule as walk-ins.

  • Reminders by SMS, WhatsApp and email

    Each appointment tracks whether its email, SMS and WhatsApp reminders have gone out, and WhatsApp runs as its own app for patient messages.

  • Patient portal and after-visit summaries

    After-visit summaries are generated in the patient's language and published to the patient portal, which also takes online booking requests.

  • Standards-based interoperability

    FHIR and HL7 bridge modules connect the hospital to other clinical systems, and a DHIS2 module supports national health-information reporting.

    Reception Desktop, walk-in registration, returning-patient lookup, today's queue and Call Next Patient, with arrivals and visitors logged at the desk.

  • Doctor

    The Chart Desktop opens a consultation with quick order sets and SOAP templates, next to the Clinical Dashboard, prescriptions and referrals.

  • Ward nurse and bed manager

    The Bed Map by ward, active admissions, the bed cleaning queue, beds under maintenance and transfers between wards, all in one Inpatient menu.

  • Laboratory scientist

    The lab dashboard, samples, results inbox and critical values, with QC runs, proficiency testing and the turnaround-time report for quality.

  • Cashier

    Cashier Checkout, today's cash session, deposits and refunds, the M-Pesa STK push and unreconciled C2B payments waiting to be matched to bills.

  • Management and finance

    CEO, CFO and operations dashboards, daily snapshots against benchmarks, and profit and loss or aged receivables in Accounting.

In your country

Made for how hospitals get paid and report, country by country

Mobile money, national tax rules, local insurers, two currencies and six languages are already set up on the demo hospital, which runs the Kenyan pack.

  • Mobile money at the cashier

    With M-Pesa on the demo, send an STK push to the patient's phone, receive paybill C2B payments, handle reversals and match unreconciled receipts to bills.

  • Mobile money at the pharmacy till

    On the demo, the pharmacy point of sale has its own M-Pesa STK, cash, card and insurance payment methods, kept apart from the main hospital cashier.

  • Tax authority e-invoicing

    On the demo's Kenyan pack, a KRA eTIMS menu covers item registration, KRA PIN verification, tax rates, transmissions with a retry queue and daily Z-reports.

  • Local private insurers

    On the demo, ten Kenyan private insurers are listed at Reception, and each admission records the insurer's pre-authorisation number and the date it expires.

  • Country modules across the continent

    Country localisation modules sit beside the core hospital apps, with packs today for Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia and South Africa.

  • Several currencies side by side

    KES and USD are both active, and each company in the database keeps its own currency, as the demo's Nairobi hospital bills in USD.

  • Six languages for staff and patients

    On the demo, English, Swahili, French, Arabic, Portuguese and Spanish are active, and after-visit summaries record the language they were issued in.

  • Ministry and programme reporting

    Modules for Ministry of Health reports, DHIS2, Pharmacy and Poisons Board reports, immunisation, TB DOTS and HIV ART programmes are installed.

Reports and control

See revenue, occupancy and lab turnaround before the board asks

Every report below is a menu on the demo hospital, built from the same records the departments work in.

  • Executive dashboards

    CEO, CFO, CMO and Operations dashboards give each leader one view of activity, money and clinical work across the hospital.

  • Daily snapshots and benchmarks

    Daily Snapshots keep the hospital's key figures day by day for graph and pivot analysis, compared with benchmark sources you configure.

  • Billing analytics

    Daily Revenue, MTD Revenue, Collection Rate and Services Profitability reports read straight from hospital charges, in pivot and graph views.

  • Inpatient reports

    Occupancy, Length of Stay, readmissions and Bed Turnover reports, built from admission records and the bed-cleaning log.

  • Laboratory quality

    A turnaround-time report, QC materials and runs, proficiency testing and the critical-values list keep the laboratory accountable.

  • Theatre outcomes

    Surgical outcomes, complications, the equipment usage log and the implant register give the theatre manager an audit trail per procedure.

  • Financial statements

    Profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, aged receivables and the general ledger, built from the invoices that hospital billing creates.

  • Custom and scheduled reports

    Build your own report, share it with colleagues or schedule it by email, next to digest subscriptions for regular summaries.

Getting started

Go live one department at a time

Set up the catalogues first, import what you already have, then open each department once its staff are ready.

  1. Load your price list

    Enter or import service tariffs, bed-night rates and payer contracts, the prices that every department's charges are raised against.

  2. Map wards, beds and theatres

    Create wards, beds with their features and night rates, and theatre rooms, and the Bed Map and OR schedule fill themselves in.

  3. Tune the lab catalogue

    Adjust the Test Catalog and panels, register your analysers and add the reference laboratories you send specialist tests to.

  4. Import patients, suppliers and products

    Contacts, products and opening entries import from Excel or CSV files, with a Test button that checks the file before anything is written.

  5. Desks, tills and mobile money shortcodes

    Configure reception desks, cashier registers and mobile-money shortcodes, such as M-Pesa's, so each desk and cash session is set up before the first patient arrives.

  6. Roles and more sites

    Give each role its own apps through access groups and record rules, and add further hospitals or clinics as companies in one database.

Questions

Questions about Hospital Management

Not covered here? Contact us.

Does it cover both outpatient clinics and inpatient wards?

Yes. Reception, Outpatient, Laboratory, Wards & Admissions, Theatre and Emergency are separate apps working on the same patient visit, so a clinic can start with outpatients and add wards later.

Can patients pay by mobile money such as M-Pesa?

Yes. With M-Pesa, for example, the cashier can send an STK push to the patient's phone or receive paybill payments, and unreconciled M-Pesa receipts are listed for matching to bills. The pharmacy till has its own M-Pesa payment method.

How is medical insurance handled?

Each charge splits into an insurer amount and a patient amount, bills raise separate invoices for each, admissions record pre-authorisation numbers, and insurers and payer contracts are kept in the system.

Is it ready for tax authority e-invoicing, such as KRA eTIMS?

Yes, through the country pack. With the Kenyan pack, for example, the Invoicing app has a KRA eTIMS menu for item registration, KRA PIN verification, tax rates, transmissions with a retry queue and daily Z-reports.

Can we run several hospitals or clinics in one system?

Yes. Each facility can be its own company in one database, with its own currency and tax settings, and staff switch between the companies they are allowed to see.

Can we bring in our existing patients, suppliers and price list?

Yes. Contacts, products and other records import from Excel or CSV with a test run first, and service tariffs can be entered or imported before go-live.

Can each member of staff see only what they need?

Access is set per app through user groups, from user up to administrator, and record rules narrow which records each group can open.

Which languages can staff and patients use?

English, Swahili, French, Arabic, Portuguese and Spanish are active on the demo hospital, and after-visit summaries record the language they were issued in.
