Discharge Summary is an official document given by the Hospital to the patient or patient’s relative at the time of discharge. Here is a sample of Discharge Summary printed from MyOPD Software.

Discharge Summary is one of the most important document to possess while getting out of the Hospital for following reasons:

• It is a summarized reference to the treatment given in the Hospital.
• It can be used for future treatment course anywhere else.
• It will be used for settlement of insurance bills.

Based on our experience while working with Hospitals, we have seen that Discharge Summary requires an update even after the patient is discharged from the Hospital for following reasons:

Reason # 1: Missing Details

It may happen that the Hospital Staff failed to add certain details of treatment to the Discharge Summary at the time of discharge only to realize that later.

Reason # 2: Incorrect wording

At times, choice of words adds ambiguity to the details entered in Discharge Summary. In such cases, insurance company asks the patient to get the Discharge Summary updated again removing the ambiguity.

Patients then visit the Hospital again requesting an update to the Discharge Summary.

Reason # 3: Miscellaneous changes

Any other changes that the Doctor or Hospital Staff deems required for the completeness or correctness of Discharge Summary.

How does MyOPD Hospital Software handle Discharge Summary updates?

MyOPD Hospital Software handles the updates to Discharge Summary in the following way:

1. Allow only admin users to update the Discharge Summary:
   • This is very important. Only the admin should be able to update the Discharge Summary post the Discharge of the patient. This way, only authorized personnel can make the required changes.
2. Capture the change reason for the update to Discharge Summary:
   • This is also an extremely IMPORTANT option. It allows the admin to capture why the Discharge Summary was updated. While viewing the updated version, this change reason is always shown.
3. Capture admin details who updated the Discharge Summary and date time of update:
   • When the Discharge Summary is updated post discharge, MyOPD Captures the login details of the admin account responsible for making the update along with date and time.
   • This way the Hospital Admin can know which admin account changed what and when.

While using MyOPD Hospital Software, the Hospital Staff will be able to see the latest version of Discharge Summary along with the previous obsolete versions as well.

This way, we try to keep the interest of Patients as well as the Doctors in balance.

Online Consultation provides below direct advantages to the Doctors:

1. Helps to get new patients who end up looking for you on the internet
2. Helps to avoid unnecessary visits of existing patients
3. Provides a formal mechanism for patients to pay and consult for services which don’t require seeing the patient.

In this post, we provide ways in which Online Consultation can be used by Doctors using MyOPD Software Platform:

How to make best use of online consultation clinic platform for your own benefit?

# 1: Health questions from your own patients via Online Consultation

Many Doctors are troubled by consistent questions from their patients over WhatsApp. Not answering them also creates an incorrect impression.
How about having a way where you direct your patients to a platform where you can answer them and also get paid?

Start telling your patients to contact you via your own Online Consultation Clinic when they have questions about their health. It is always better that our patients contact their trusted Doctor than someone else on the internet for their regular questions.

# 2: Discussing Investigation Reports

Many times, patients have to just discuss the investigation reports with Doctors. If no clinical examination of the patient is required, you can ask such patients to discuss them in the online consultation clinic instead of regular clinic. This way, patient can avoid a visit to the clinic and continue with the modified treatment based on the PDF prescription you share from MyOPD Software.

# 3: Consulting your own patients who are traveling

We don’t realize, however, many of our existing patients keep traveling and getting sick. It is always better for them to get in touch with their existing Doctor for their complaints. You can offer online consultation to such patients who need your help while they are away from your city.

Based on the charges you set, MyOPD collects the patient’s payments using Debit Card / Credit Card / Net Banking / UPI and settles them into your account after deducting the payment gateway charges. MyOPD does not earn money for your consultations.

Should I have Online Consultation Clinic time separate than my regular clinic time?

1. It is better to have a separate time if possible. You can have a dedicated 30 minute slot at a minimum.
2. This way, you will know for sure that online consultations have to be done in that dedicated time rather than juggling them during the busy clinic hours.
3. MyOPD books online appointments on first come first serve basis. Patients are added to a online queue. This way, Doctors get free once all the patients for online consultation are done.

Where will I see the online consultation appointments?

1. Currently, you will receive an email when patients book an appointment. Plus, you will see them in your online profile at Profile -> My Online Profile in MyOPD Windows Application.

We have already explained in another article What is a Hospital Management System? In this article we look at the growing importance of Hospital Management System in India.

Why is Hospital Management System In India important today for Hospitals in India?

Hospital management solutions help hospitals run smoothly. They make sure that every aspect of the hospital’s operation runs as planned. This includes scheduling appointments, tracking patient data, and managing billing.

In the Indian context a Hospital Management System in India is seeing growing importance because of factors below:

1. Professional Outlook of the Hospital

Some Hospitals in India provide a Handwritten Discharge Card and Hospital Bill. That is a very old way of working.

A hospital that provides its patients with a printed Hospital Bill (See Sample) and a printed Discharge Summary (See Sample) is been seen by patients as a forward looking, professional setup. Patients also get a comfort feeling that the Hospital is saving their records digitally and Doctors are looking at previous records for making further decisions regarding the patient’s health.

Hence, a Hospital that wants to differentiate itself and want to present its forward looking outlook to Patients should be considering the use of a Hospital Management System.

2. Better Co-ordination between Doctor and Staff resulting in free time for Doctor running the Hospital

Many Hospital setups fail to maintain co-ordination between Doctors and Staff because of lack of proper documentation and processes in the Hospitals. In such Hospitals, the Doctors running the show are always overwhelmed with questions from Patients as well as staff. Using Hospital Management Systems brings in a discipline in the Hospital resulting in better co-ordination between various parties. This frees up considerable time for the Doctor owning the Hospital.

3. Patients with Insurance

The number of patients in India having insurance is increasing day by day. If you want to serve these patients in your Hospital, you need a Hospital Management System. No insurance company would entertain a hand written Hospital Bill or a Discharge Summary.

4. NABH Accreditation for Hospitals in India

As Hospitals try to get themselves accredited with NABH, they need to satisfy conditions set by the board. Various levels of NABH require Hospitals to store and present information related to patient treatments and so on. Using a Hospital Management System allows Doctors to elevate themselves and prepare their Hospital setups for NABH compliances.

5. Better Documentation of the cases with the help of Hospital Management System

Using a Hospital Management System results in better documentation of treatment offered if uses correctly. In addition, since the information is stored, this information can be referenced for future visits of patients to the Hospital providing better care for patients. Patients are increasingly becoming more aware of the approach a Doctor takes while providing care. Using a Hospital Management System clearly puts the Doctor at an advantage as they can make informed decision about the patient’s case based on past history.

MyOPD Software allows Doctors to add Documents from Reception Desk. This feature is now available in MyOPD ZIP app for Android. It will soon be available on the Windows PC Version of the product as well. This article examines how adding Documents from Reception Desk will help Doctors.

Case 1: Saving written Prescription by the Doctor

This functionality of the Software is especially important for Doctors who want to write prescription and save it for later reference. Here are the steps involved:

1. Doctor writes the prescription as they are doing currently i.e. by writing with pen and paper.
2. When the Patient walks out, the Patient presents the prescription at Reception Desk.
3. Reception Staff scans the prescription and saves it to MyOPD Software for future reference.
4. When the patient visits the Clinic next time, without prescription, Doctor can view the prescription saved in previous visit in the software.

Case 2: Scanning X-Rays, Lab Reports before meeting the Doctor

When patients visit Doctor’s clinic, they often come with Lab Reports and X-Rays. Staff can scan these reports ahead of time and save it to the patient’s case before the patient meets the Doctor. This way, when the patient is with the Doctor, Doctor can quickly view the Digital copy of X-Ray or Documents in the software.

Important Points to keep in mind:

Before starting to use this feature, there are a few things to consider keeping in mind the privacy of the patient.

1. Educate the reception staff about the privacy of patient reports and documents.
2. Always have a clinic’s own Device for reception staff if you are using this feature. Ask them to operate this feature only through the authorized device of the clinic.
3. If you are using the application as explained in Case 2, make sure the number of reports patients have brought match the number of documents shown in the software. This is to ensure that the Reception staff has not missed any important document while scanning or a case where the Documents scanned from Reception hasn’t yet synced to Doctor’s device.

Do Physicians really need Physician Software?

As a physician do you really thing that software is a requirement?

If your answer is No, we encourage you to read further. If your answer is yes, well, you are already convinced about using it. However, you may still continue to understand our point of view.

5 Reasons Physicians need a Physician Software

1. Printed Prescriptions and their advantages

Clearly written printed Prescriptions look way professional than handwritten prescriptions. Writing a prescription by hand can also be time consuming as many times same instructions for medicines, their dosages, advices have to be rewritten for different patients.

Chronic patients simply need repeat prescriptions with minor modifications if any. EMR Software offers clear advantage in repeat medicine entry.

Doctors also have these records handy at one place in the Software during the next consultation with the patient.

MyOPD Software offers 4 Different Ways to create a Prescription saving enormous time for Doctors.

Also take a look at our article explaining 5 Advantages of EMR explained using a Single Prescription. Almost all EMR software provide these advantages these days.

2. Prescriptions in Regional Languages

Cities have become a hub of multi-lingual people. As a result Doctors see patients with different mother tongue. EMR Software assists you to print Rx in the language that the patient will understand best.

Check few Sample Prescription Documents in multiple languages generated using MyOPD Software https://www.myopd.in/blog/sample-prescriptions-documents/

Some of the Prescriptions shown in the above link are simply impossible to create using a handwritten Prescription.

3. Tracking Outstanding Payments of Patients

We have come across Doctors who give credit to their patients because patients may not have the right method to pay at the time of consultation. While that is really good, tracking the balance amount to be paid by the patient can help Doctors inform the patient about the actual amount to pay during the next visit.

Physician Software allow Doctors to take care of this aspect of the Practice as well.

4. Automated Reminder System

Follow-ups are an inherent part of any Physician’s practice. However, many Patients simply forget to visit the Doctor again because they did not remember the date of next visit.

Physician software have a built in Reminder system that allow patients to be informed over SMS or WhatsApp automatically. So even if you have 2 follow-ups or 50 follow-ups for the day, the Software will do the job of sending automated reminder messages.

This helps Patients get timely check-up. It also helps increase the patient follow-up compliance for the Doctor.

5. Transparency in Practice

Last and the most important point of using a Physician Software is bringing transparency in the practice. Almost everything you enter is documented.

• If a patient needs an old prescription print again, you have it.
• If they need Payment Receipt, you can give it.
• Medical Certificates, Fitness Certificates and other Documents can all be issued at ease.
• Outstanding payments are tracked
• Prescriptions can be sent as PDFs to patients
• And much more is possible simply because you have digitized your practice.

MyOPD offers you a way to check if your requirements match with what we have to offer. You can download a free trial of MyOPD Clinic Software from our website www.myopd.in

MyOPD Software works best for Physicians who are more interested in managing their EMRs thoroughly.
