For paediatricians
A waiting room with a crying two-year-old in it does not forgive slow software.
Paediatric OPD has its own physics: the patient cannot describe anything, the parent is anxious, the instruction has to survive the journey home, and nobody can sit still for forty minutes. Speed and clarity are the whole product.
The four pressures specific to this practice.
The parts of this particular day that software either fixes or makes worse.
The pressure
A waiting room of unwell children, where every extra minute is felt by two people.
What answers it
The token goes out at registration and the live board shows the parent exactly where they stand, so they can wait outside, in the car, or across the road instead of in a room full of infections.
The pressure
The instruction has to be followed by whoever is at home, not by you.
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.
The pressure
Growth only means something as a series, and paper cards lose the series.
What answers it
Record the child's weight at each visit, and every past weight stays on the file.
The pressure
The same seasonal presentations, forty times a week, in a hurry.
What answers it
The consultation is one screen and saves as you type. The weight from each visit stays on the child's file.
The mother nods at everything you say, then asks the pharmacist what it meant.
When OPDesk is the wrong tool for you.
OPDesk covers the outpatient morning: tokens, the visit, and a letterhead prescription. A vaccination register, with immunisation schedules and growth charts, is a different kind of product.
The rest of the honest limits are on the comparison page and in the FAQ.
Run one morning on it.
Register a patient, run the board, close a visit, and print the prescription. If it does not earn its place, tell us and we stop. Ask and we will arrange a copy of your records.
