Doctor quick guide

Who: doctors.

Call a patient from the OPD queue​

  1. Go to OPD Queue. The Queue tab opens.
  2. On the patient's row, select Call patient, then Start consultation, then Open OPD visit.
  3. When you are done, select Complete. Use No show for a patient who does not come in.

There is no single "call next" button: you call each row. If someone else called the patient first, the screen says so and refreshes the queue.

Write the consultation​

See write and sign a consultation.

Write a prescription​

  1. In the visit, open Prescriptions.
  2. Search for a drug by salt or brand name and pick it.
  3. Set Dose, Frequency, Duration and Timing.
  4. Select Safety to see allergy, interaction, duplicate and dose checks. To go past a serious warning, give an Override reason.
  5. Select Sign & save, then Print.

Repeat last prescription and Order sets save typing.

Mark a medicine "Buy outside"​

Use this when the hospital does not stock a medicine. It is always your choice: MedBrains never marks a line buy outside by itself.

  1. Type the medicine name in the prescription search.
  2. Choose Buy outside: "<name>" under the matches.
  3. Fill Medicine and Dose (and Strength), then select Add as buy outside.

The line prints as "Buy from outside the hospital". The pharmacy does not dispense or bill it.

Order a lab test​

See order a lab test and read the result.

Admit a patient​

  1. In the OPD visit, select Admit to IPD.
  2. Choose Department, Ward and Bed, and select Admit patient.
  3. Write orders from the admission's tabs: Prescriptions, Investigations, Progress Notes, Diet.

Write the discharge summary​

  1. Open the admission and go to Discharge Summary.
  2. Fill the diagnosis, course, treatment, follow-up and discharge medicines.
  3. Select Save, then Finalize. The summary shows Signed.

Editing a signed summary removes the signature; the screen asks first.
