Clinic Management System

Clinic management software automates various tasks such as scheduling appointments, storing patient database including their prescriptions, reports, billing and hosting it on cloud. Healthcare units and hospitals use this software to automate the tasks that were otherwise performed manually. Automation reduces the chances of errors to almost null.

Clinic management systems are computer software products that coordinate and integrate all the essential activities involved in the administration and running of a healthcare facility. Clinical software must meet specified security, technology and functionality standards for managing electronic medical records and practice management information (clinical data management) with integrated medical software, healthcare software, practice management software, laboratory information management system and patient management software. Some clinical softwares maintain the complete patient information coupled with the electronic medical record (EMR).
