Patients
Register a new patient
Patients → “New patient”. Only the surname, first name and sex are required. A file number (P-000001…) is assigned automatically.
Find a record
Type a name, a phone number or a file number in the search at the top of the screen or in the patient register.
Record an allergy
Fill in the record’s “Known allergies” field: it shows as a red banner on the record and on each of the patient’s consultations.
Consultations
Open a consultation
Consultations → “New consultation”: choose the patient, enter the reason and, if you have them, the vital signs taken at reception. “Start the consultation” takes you straight to the examination; “Add to the queue” keeps it waiting for another health worker.
Conduct the consultation
Open the consultation, click “Start”, fill in symptoms, diagnosis and notes, then “Save”. “Close” locks the sheet: a diagnosis is required.
Write the prescription and dispense
In the consultation, add lines to the prescription (from the pharmacy stock or typed freely) and save. Each line linked to the stock can then be dispensed: the stock is deducted automatically.
Pharmacy
Add a medicine
Pharmacy → “Add a medicine”: name, form, strength, unit price, alert threshold, expiry date and opening stock.
Receive a delivery, remove a product, take stock
The “Movement” button on the line, or In / Out / Inventory on the medicine’s sheet. Each movement is written in the register with its author and the resulting balance.
See the alerts
The “Alerts” tab lists the medicines at or below their alert threshold, and those expiring within 90 days.
Cash desk & Mobile Money
Take a payment
Cash desk → “New payment”, or “Take payment” from a consultation, a record or a stay. For MTN MoMo and Orange Money, enter the transaction ID received by SMS.
Print a receipt
After the payment, the numbered receipt appears: the “Print” button. It stays available at any time from the cash desk or the patient’s record.
Cancel a receipt
Reserved for the facility’s administrators. The receipt is not deleted: it is marked “Cancelled” with the reason and leaves the day’s total.
Inpatient care
Set up the beds
Inpatient care → “Add a bed”: a department (Maternity, Paediatrics…) and a bed name.
Admit and then discharge a patient
“Admit a patient”: patient, free bed, reason and daily rate. Discharge is done from “Current stays”; the balance due is shown and can be collected before or after.
Teleconsultation
Schedule a session
Teleconsultation → “Schedule”: patient, reason, date and time. Built-in video calling is not switched on yet: call the patient at the scheduled time, then complete the session like a consultation.
Reports
Follow the activity
Reports: consultations, takings, new patients, admissions over 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or 12 months, with the breakdown by payment method and the most frequent diagnoses.
