Who it's for
PRIMARY & MEDIUM CLINICS

Clinic management software for primary and medium clinics

Every service charged where it happens, a drug window that will not release medicine until the visit is paid, and any patient found in seconds by name, phone or card number. Built for Ethiopian private clinics — on the Ethiopian calendar, with Telegram booking and the HMIS return included.

See what you get
SOUND FAMILIAR?

The problems we hear from clinic owners

Money lost between the room and the cashier

An injection given, a dressing changed, a test added at the last minute — when the charge depends on someone remembering at the end of the visit, some of it never reaches the bill.

Cards that cannot be found

A missing or misfiled card means the history is taken again, tests are repeated and the patient waits while someone searches the shelves.

A waiting room nobody can see

Who is next, who has waited longest, who has paid — on paper, nobody knows until a patient complains.

Stock-outs, expiry and the inspector

Expired medicine on the shelf is waste on a good day and a closure on a bad one. Bin cards that do not match the shelf will not satisfy an inspector.

Chronic patients who do not come back

Hypertension and diabetes are repeat-visit conditions. Each missed review is a patient getting worse, and a visit your clinic did not have.

The HMIS report nobody has time for

Private clinics are expected to report too, and the monthly tally from registers falls to whoever is least busy.

WHAT CHANGES

What you get on day one

Charged where it happens

Services and consumables selected in the room become the invoice line — one balance per visit, however many counters the patient passes.

No medicine leaves unpaid

The pharmacy will not release medicine until the visit is paid, and each cashier closes their shift with a Z-report by payment channel.

Any patient in seconds

Find a patient by name, phone or card number, with a duplicate warning at registration — one record per person, with every visit on it.

Start small, add as you grow

Start with the core — front desk, charting, billing, staff and reports — and switch on lab, pharmacy, inventory or insurance when you need them.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

The modules clinic owners use

Every facility gets the core. Add-ons are switched on only where you need them.

Front Desk & Patient Flow

One screen for the whole front desk, and a live board showing where every patient is.

  • Single-screen front desk: find patient, register, check in, take card fee
  • Live queue board showing everyone in the building, where they are, how long they have waited, and what they owe
  • Waiting-room display that calls queue numbers, never names
  • View your own queue or the whole facility's day

HOW IT RUNS

A clinic visit, the way it should run

  1. 01

    Book or walk in

    Patients book on Telegram or your booking page, or walk in — both join the same queue.

  2. 02

    Register and check in

    The front desk finds or registers the patient, checks them in and takes the card fee on one screen.

  3. 03

    Vitals and triage

    Vitals are taken before the doctor sees the patient, and acuity can reorder the queue.

  4. 04

    Consultation

    The doctor charts, diagnoses with ICD-10, orders tests and prescribes — each order raises its charge.

  5. 05

    Lab and pharmacy

    The lab works from its worksheet; the pharmacy dispenses once the visit is paid.

  6. 06

    Pay and follow up

    One balance for the visit; the next appointment and its reminder are set before the patient leaves.

QUESTIONS

What clinic owners ask us

Can we start with just the front desk and billing, and add lab and pharmacy later?

Yes. Laboratory, Pharmacy, Inventory, Insurance, Triage and others are add-on modules, switched on per facility when you need them.

Does it use the Ethiopian calendar?

Yes. The Ethiopian calendar and time are used throughout, or Gregorian for anyone who prefers it.

Can patients book online?

Yes — through a public booking page and through Telegram, where patients can book, reschedule or cancel. You accept or decline each request.

Will it produce our HMIS report?

It produces the monthly, quarterly and annual HMIS service return, the OPD disease return and a DHIS2 export keyed by FMOH indicator code, in Word and Excel. It exports; it does not submit to DHIS2 for you.

Can we bring our old patient list?

Yes. Bulk import from Excel or CSV, reviewed before anything is written, with rollback of a batch.

Can a receptionist see diagnoses?

Only if their role allows it. Roles are defined by your clinic, and every action is logged.

What does it cost to set up?

Pricing is per facility and depends on the modules you switch on. Our setup cost calculator prices the devices, network and hosting in birr, and a demo gets you a quote.
