# One system for every branch of your clinic group > Run every branch of your clinic group on one system: separate records, central admin, stock transfers, referrals and every branch's numbers side by side. Source: https://www.medicine.et/for/multi-branch Site: Bloom Medicine — https://www.medicine.et --- Every branch on one system — stock moved, cash closed and numbers compared over the same period, from head office or your phone. Each branch keeps its own records, hours and settings; you keep the whole picture. ## Measured in Ethiopia - **4.87%** — medicine expiry across nine Jimma Zone hospitals, against a 2% national target ([Research note · Stock records](https://www.medicine.et/research/inventory-management)) - **20.5M ETB** — of expired stock across western Ethiopia’s public supply chain, with poor store management the strongest factor ([Research note · Stock records](https://www.medicine.et/research/inventory-management)) ## The problems we hear from clinic groups - **No single view of every branch** — Each branch sends its numbers in its own spreadsheet, on its own schedule, counted its own way — and the group total is a week late. - **Stock expiring in one branch, out in another** — One store is about to throw away what another has run out of. Without a shared ledger, nobody sees both at once. - **Cash you cannot see from head office** — The further the branch, the less anyone knows what was collected today, by whom, and through which channel. - **Every branch doing it differently** — Different forms, different prices, different roles — so the numbers cannot be compared and staff cannot move between sites. - **Staff, attendance and payroll across sites** — Rosters, attendance and licences tracked branch by branch, and payroll stitched together at the end of the month. ## What changes - **Every branch side by side** — Visits, no-shows, new patients, invoiced and collected — for every branch over the same period, with Excel export and reports on the phone. - **Stock that moves** — Transfers between stores and branches, batches and expiry on one ledger, and reorder alerts before a branch runs out. - **Cash closed per shift, everywhere** — Each cashier closes with a Z-report by payment channel, and every discount, waiver and refund carries a name. - **One way of working** — Facility-wide form templates, roles and home screens, with each branch’s own hours, settings and branding. ## The modules clinic groups use - [Multi-Branch & Multi-Facility](https://www.medicine.et/features#multi-branch) — Several facilities on one system, separated by default and administered from one place. - [Reports & Analytics](https://www.medicine.et/features#reports) — Clinical, financial and operational reporting — for one site or every branch side by side. - [Inventory & Stock](https://www.medicine.et/features#inventory) (add-on) — Purchasing, receiving and consumption in one ledger, so the screen matches the shelf. - [Billing & Payments](https://www.medicine.et/features#billing) — One balance per visit, however many counters and bills it passed through. - [Dashboards](https://www.medicine.et/features#dashboards) — A different home screen per role, arranged by the person who has to use it. - [Staff & HR](https://www.medicine.et/features#staff-hr) — Who works when, who is on leave, who is licensed, and who actually turned up. - [Payroll](https://www.medicine.et/features#payroll) (add-on) — Ethiopian tax brackets, loans and payslips — run from the attendance you already have. - [Security & Privacy](https://www.medicine.et/features#security) — Each role sees only its own work, and every action carries a name and a timestamp. - [Bringing Your Records Over](https://www.medicine.et/features#data-import) — Start with your history, not an empty system. ## Questions ### Can we run several facilities on one system? Yes. Multiple facilities on one system, each fully separated, with a central administration console. ### Can we compare branches? Yes. Every branch side by side over the same period, with Excel export and reports in the mobile app. ### Can stock move between branches? Yes. Transfers run between stores and between branches. ### Can each branch keep its own hours and branding? Yes. Operating hours, settings and branding are set per facility. ### How do patients move between branches? Each branch keeps its own records. Patients move between your branches — and to outside facilities — with referral letters in both directions, from a shared referral directory. ### Each branch already has its own system. Can we bring the records over? Yes. Patients, staff and visit history import in bulk, reviewed before anything is written, with rollback of a batch. ## Cited research - [Stock records in Ethiopian health facilities: what the studies measured](https://www.medicine.et/research/inventory-management) — Ethiopian facilities do not mainly run out of medicines because nothing was ordered. They run out because the record of what is on the shelf disagrees with the shelf. The published measurements are consistent, and unflattering. - [Who pays: out-of-pocket, insurance, and why billing accuracy is a supply problem](https://www.medicine.et/research/who-pays-for-care) — The most-quoted figure for Ethiopian out-of-pocket spending is 31%. The WHO-sourced series puts it at 46.3% for 2023. Both are cited here, because the gap between them is the whole point about dated statistics.
