Basic Hospital Management

Small hospitals and clinics need a compact system for patients, doctors and care. This module adds a Hospital Management app with patient files, physician records, appointments, prescriptions, lab tests, inpatient registration and maternity data. Receptionists, doctors, chemists and lab staff use it on top of Contacts, Invoicing and Inventory. Invoices and shipments are created from appointments, prescriptions and lab requests, and printed cards and reports are provided.
