For general physicians
The highest-volume queue in Indian medicine, run from one screen.
A GP's OPD is walk-ins, repeat chronic patients and a fever season that arrives without warning. The software's only job is to stay out of a consultation you have three minutes to finish.
The four pressures specific to this practice.
The parts of this particular day that software either fixes or makes worse.
The pressure
Volume: the waiting room is full by 9 and everyone believes they were there first.
What answers it
Tokens settle the argument, and the live board on the waiting-room TV settles it without anyone asking your front desk.
The pressure
Chronic patients: BP and sugar cases who must return, and quietly do not.
What answers it
When you say "come back in ten days" the follow-up is recorded as you say it, and appears on a due list with the overdue ones separated out. You can see who never came back. On paper, that list does not exist.
The pressure
Repetition: the same six presentations, twenty times a day, typed out each time.
What answers it
The consultation is one screen and saves as you type, so a repeat visit stays on that screen. When you say come back in ten days, the follow-up stays on the list.
The pressure
The prescription leaves your hand and stops being understood.
What answers it
The prescription prints on the clinic letterhead. Standard dosing instructions print in 8 Indian languages, Telugu first. Free-text advice stays in English.
"Come back after ten days." Said aloud, and easy to lose if nothing writes it down.
When OPDesk is the wrong tool for you.
If you run beds, a laboratory, or a pharmacy with stock to manage, OPDesk is the wrong tool. It covers an outpatient day: the queue, the visit, and the letterhead prescription.
The rest of the honest limits are on the comparison page and in the FAQ.
