Are Fake Prescriptions on the Rise?

Let’s start with examining some statistics. The picture below shows the trends of Google Searches for “Fake Prescription” and “Clinic Software”.

You can view such trends at trends.google.com We ran this trend search for “fake prescription” and “clinic software” on 5th April 2024 keeping Geographical region as India. The data seen here is for the past 12 months. You can run the same Google Trends check for previous 12 months HERE

What do the results show?

  1. As seen, the number of searches done for Clinic Software are almost equal to the number of searches being done for Fake Prescriptions.
  2. There are people out there who want to create Fake Prescriptions and submit them at work or other places for medical reasons.

Should I as a Doctor be concerned about this?

If such a Fake Prescription is created by anyone using the name of the Doctor, then the Doctor would need a way to prove that the Rx is indeed not theirs. The good news is, if the Doctor is already using an EMR Software or a Clinic Software, proving is very easy. If this Rx does not appear in your software, it was not issued by you, simple.

How are Fake Prescriptions created?

Anyone with basic knowledge of using Word processor or Spreadsheet could create a Fake Prescription that can be printed and made to look legitimate. Plus, many software products, including MyOPD, offer free trial to Doctors. Anyone can download such a free version and create a printed prescription.

How can Doctors protect themselves?

Make sure you follow these best practices while using your Clinic Software in general:

  1. Your EMR Software already captures the digital record of your prescription. If you haven’t issued any prescription similar to the person creating a fake prescription, then it was simply not issued by you.
  2. Always make sure you stamp and sign the Prescription. It just makes it somewhat harder for the Fake prescription creator as they now need to have a stamp like your Clinic’s stamp.
  3. Sensitize the Pharmacy People to check back with you when they receive suspicious prescriptions under your name that don’t make sense.
  4. Always have a strong password with at least 15 characters with a mix of Special Characters and Upper and Lower cases while using EMR Software.
  5. Never tell your password to anyone. Never share the OTPs you receive on your apps with anyone.
  6. Always keep your OS patched up to latest versions. Use good quality Antivirus Softwares.
  7. Never click on any suspicious links received from known / unknown contacts. When you do so, hackers might be able to gain access of your devices remotely.
  8. Always keep the Software products to the latest versions that are released to the market. There are various issues that are fixed to keep the software up to date and current.

Hello Doctor, Are people recommending you?

The Problem

An important aspect of growing your practice is having Happy Patients.

Happy Patients usually take following actions:

  • Recommend you to others
  • Leave generous reviews on your social media handles
  • Follow you / your Hospital / your clinic on Social Media like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram

Many times, we really don’t know if people are really recommending us to their friends. Here is one way where MyOPD Clinic and Hospital Software solves this issue for your Clinic / Hospital.

When you start using MyOPD Software, you also get an Online Web Presence page that we provide. Read more about this feature at Doctor Web Page – MyOPD™ Updates

This individual webpage for Doctors has information about Doctor’s Degree, Clinic Address, Timings and so on. We have provided an easy way for visitors to share this page with their friends and family.

This page can be easily shared via WhatsApp, Facebook and multiple other options provided.

Is Anyone sharing my page?

MyOPD provides Doctors with stats to check the page sharing activity. This way, Doctors know that their page is shared by patients. Without that, you have no idea whether your page / website is really working for you or not.

All the best!

Why does India celebrate Doctors’ Day on 1st July?

Here is an important piece of information about Doctors’ Day.

We have an International Doctors’ Day as well which falls on 30th March of every year. Plus, Doctors’ Day is celebrated on different dates in different countries.

Doctor’s Day in India is celebrated on July 1st to honor the birth and death anniversary of Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. Dr. Roy was a renowned physician and the second Chief Minister of West Bengal, India. He was born on July 1, 1882, and passed away on the same date in 1962.

Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy made significant contributions to the field of medicine and played a vital role in the development of healthcare in India. He was instrumental in establishing various medical institutions and implementing several healthcare reforms. In recognition of his immense contributions and selfless service to society, the Government of India designated July 1st as Doctor’s Day to commemorate his achievements and express gratitude to the medical fraternity for their invaluable services to the nation.

Super Fast way to create Discharge Summary

Hospital Staff have a hard time managing patients and creating the required documents like Hospital Bill, Discharge Card and so on.

To solve this issue, we have introduced Templatized Discharge Summaries. Many a times, the Discharge Summary is usually the same for similar type of Diagnosis. These repetitiveness of Discharge Summary is used to our benefit while creating the template. This avoids recurring entry of same data by the staff.

See how quickly a Discharge Summary can be created:

This solution just gives a way for the staff to carefully draft the Discharge Summary based on treatment course in the hospital without missing out on any details. The Discharge Summary can be freely changed from patient to patient as necessary. However, the repetitive items in the Discharge Summary can be reviewed and then kept or removed or modified based on case by case basis.

#1 Reason why Doctors don’t use Clinic Software

At MyOPD, we have been working with Doctors providing them Clinic Software since the year 2012.

While many Doctors have good intent to use a clinic software in their practice, to generate an Electronic Medical Record (EMR), only some are able to put that to actual use.

The most important reasons why Doctors are unable to use an EMR system is because they cannot keep up with the flow of patients while using the software.

At MyOPD, we are constantly working on improving the experience for our Doctors and also for easier adoption of the product for our new clients.
