OPDs in India are extremely busy. We have too many patients and too less Doctors to address our situation.

Doctor Software and Vendor Selection

Started to think about Software? Great! You have taken an excellent step towards functioning better. The hard part is deciding from where to buy. Doctor software has too many choices these days. You need to be careful about selecting where to buy from.

In this article we will help you present our perspective to help you make a better judgement. So what are your choices?

I want to build my own software

Unless you have a requirement completely different than the rest of the world, avoid this option. This should be your choice only if you have a particular niche practice that no other solution is able to manage. Remember, it is one part to build a software and another to keep it updated based on your changing requirements. As a Doctor, it will be hard to focus on this. Frankly speaking, it is not worth the effort. Plus, you lose out on enhancements suggested by other Doctors using a common software.
