Clinic management software for clinics in Pakistan

Type a few letters of the name or part of the phone number and the file comes up. The patients you opened last sit at the top of the list, so the one who just came back from the pharmacy with a question is a single click away.

A new patient takes less than a minute. Name, age, gender and a phone number are enough to start, and the form has room for CNIC, father's name, a second contact, email, address, occupation, referral and health insurance details when you need them. More on replacing the patient register.

Each visit has the fields a GP or specialist actually fills in: presenting complaint, systemic history, allergies, investigations, diagnosis and treatment, plus the doctor who saw the patient. The fee and what the patient paid go on the same note.

We should be upfront that FindClinica started as dental software, and you can tell. The visit form opens with a tooth chart at the top. If you aren't a dentist you skip it and fill in the fields underneath; nothing needs a tooth to be picked. The suggestions that appear as you type also lean dental at first, but the app remembers what you write and offers it back next time.

Visits stay on the patient's file in date order, as cards or as a table when you want to scan the whole history. How the record works as an EMR.

Book from the phone or from the reception desktop. Your working hours decide which half-hour slots are open, and when more than one doctor works in the clinic you can look at everyone's day or one doctor at a time.

The patient gets an SMS when an appointment is booked, moved or cancelled, and on the paid plans a reminder shortly before the visit. The messages go out through FindClinica, so there is no SMS package to buy and nothing to configure. You can also tick a box to send the patient a WhatsApp message when you book.

Add medicines from your own frequent list with their usual dose, or start from a saved set. Doses are written 1+0+1 with the number of days and an instruction such as after meals. The finished prescription carries your name, clinic details and PMDC number, and goes to the patient on WhatsApp or to the printer. How prescriptions work in detail.

Charges and payments sit on each visit, so part payments and follow-up payments add up by themselves. Open a patient's Payments tab and you see total charges, total paid and what is still owed.

Rent, the electricity bill, lab bills and supplies go into Spendings. The boxes at the top show today, this month, this year and the total, so you can see where the month's money went without a calculator.

On the phone that owns the account, Statistics puts revenue, spending and profit on a chart by day, month or year, and can show the revenue of one doctor at a time.

Add your receptionist, assistants and other staff with their role and how they are paid (monthly, per day or per procedure). Each day they check in and out, and the app shows who is present, who is still working and who hasn't come. Paid plans can add a face photo at check-in.

The Clinic Management section keeps the registers that healthcare commission inspections ask about: a drug inventory that shows what is close to expiry, a sterilization log for failed cycles and breakdowns, sentinel events for clinical incidents with their root cause and corrective action, and a waste disposal log. Each one prints as a report.

Patients can also leave feedback by scanning a complaints QR code. Their complaint lands in the app with a status you update as you deal with it, which is a lot easier to show an inspector than a drawer of notes.

Your account lives on your Android phone. When you want the receptionist to work from the clinic computer, install the Windows app there and connect it with a QR code or a short code from your phone. One connected device is included free, and Premium allows three.

A connected computer can look up patients, add visits, book appointments and take payments. It can't edit or delete payments, expenses, staff or doctors, and it can't change your working hours. Those stay with you.

Records are kept on the device and synced to our server, with a full backup every day. Patients, visits and payments can be added with no internet at all; sending a prescription and uploading photos need a connection.

The free plan has no limit on patients and includes the desktop app on one connected computer. Pro is PKR 2,000 a month and adds appointment reminders and the expense tracker. Premium is PKR 5,000 a month with more storage and three connected devices.

You pay in rupees by bank transfer or QR code, and paid plans have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Compare the plans.

There is no lab or pharmacy integration, no insurance claims and no one-click export of everything to Excel yet; records and registers print as PDFs. The screens are in English. And if you run a hospital with wards and admissions, you need a hospital information system, not this.
