In this article we will explore why Hospital Bill Modification is crucial in modern Hospital Billing Solutions.
MyOPD Hospital Software allows Hospital Staff to create an up to date bill of Patient’s stay in the Hospital.
Here is a sample Bill for a patient which can be printed on Existing Hospital Letterhead or by adding your own Hospital Logo and Name.
Staff of Hospital can create a bill of Payment using MyOPD Hospital Software. However, at times there are some practical problems after the bill gets created:
An item that was to be included in the bill was missed.
Amount paid by the patient in advance was incorrectly recorded.
An amount which was to be entered as Rs. 1500 was accidentally entered as Rs. 15000!
Such issues are practice problems that do happen in a busy setup. While MyOPD allows different ways to avoid such errors from happening (See how at the video at the end), MyOPD still allows the Admin of the Hospital to correct these mistakes by introducing the bill modification feature.
With the Hospital Bill Modification feature, MyOPD allows admin staff to change / add / delete items in the original bill to correct such a situation. This has been a long requirement of many Doctors who use MyOPD Hospital Software and we are happy to have included that as a part of our product feature.
Check how you can create a quick bill using MyOPD Hospital Software below:
This feature is available in the Paid version of MyOPD Clinic and Hospital Software.

Choosing the right Hospital Management System (HMS) / Hospital Software is crucial for efficient operations and improved patient care. But with so many options available, particularly cloud-based solutions, you might be wondering if a traditional, on-premise system like MyOPD is still relevant.
This blog post dives into a key comparison between MyOPD’s Hybrid Software and standard Cloud-Based HMS to help you make an informed decision.
Here’s why MyOPD Hospital Software might be the perfect fit for your hospital
Performance: MyOPD is a Hybrid Software. This means it functions offline, so you can keep working even during internet outages. Unlike cloud-based systems, MyOPD’s speed doesn’t rely on internet connection. Whether it’s heavy rains or unforeseen circumstances, your hospital operations continue seamlessly.
Data Ownership and Security: With MyOPD, you own your data. All information is stored locally on your system, ensuring complete control and security. Cloud-based providers might restrict access to your data if your subscription lapses. While some offer data exports, these may not be as user-friendly as working with the original software. MyOPD takes an additional step to securely backup your data to the Cloud. This ensures that even in case of a hard drive failure or computer crash, your valuable patient information can be recovered quickly and efficiently.
Focus on Your Patients: MyOPD is not in the business of doctor marketing. Our software is designed to support your existing patient base without any bias towards promoting specific doctors.
Continuous Improvement: MyOPD is constantly evolving. We regularly update our software based on valuable feedback from the medical community. This ensures MyOPD remains at the forefront of providing an exceptional user experience for both staff and patients.
In Conclusion:
While cloud-based systems offer undeniable advantages, MyOPD’s Hybrid Software provides a unique combination of offline functionality, data ownership, patient-centric focus, and ongoing development. This makes MyOPD a compelling choice for hospitals that prioritize uninterrupted operations, data security, and a commitment to their existing patients.

Many times, patients demand a Hospital Bill in the middle of treatment to get an idea of the expense on the treatment till that time. Such a bill given by Hospital is known as Provisional Hospital Bill.
Reasons to give a Provisional Hospital Bill
Patient’s demand: The patients can demand a Provisional Hospital Bill midway during the stay to understand the charges incurred so far on the treatment.
Transparency in Billing: Giving a provisional bill when required by the patient brings about a transparency in the Hospital operations. Patients know exactly what they are being charged for on a day to day basis.
Hospital billing process: Certain Hospital follow billing process where they present the patients with a Provisional Bill everyday to proactively give patients an idea of the treatments done till date.
How does a Provisional Bill Look?
Provisional Hospital Bill
Provisional Hospital Bill looks very similar to a Final Hospital Bill. However, there are some important points to be noted.
Provisional Hospital Bill has a heading as Provisional Bill clearly mentioning that this Bill is a temporary bill and not Final.
Most of the times the patient is still admitted. So Discharge Date is not available on the bill.
Items in Provisional Bill are temporary and Subject to change based on revision by Hospital if required. The Hospital Staff can print a sample bill and get it reviewed from seniors before making it final.
Conclusion
Provisional Hospital Bill is an important document that a Hospital can offer to their patients as required. Having a software that allows Hospitals to print a Provisional Bill is certainly required by Hospitals. MyOPD Hospital Software allows Hospitals to print a Provisional Hospital Bill.
A Discharge Summary is one of the most important document a hospital provides to the patient. Providing a good and clearly written Discharge Summary to the patient is responsibility of the hospital.
In this article, we will explain the various sections that ought to be present in a Discharge Summary.

It is a dream of every Hospital Owner to give a neatly printed Discharge summary to the patients. The problem is, most Hospital Management Systems put a hole in your pocket when you try to buy them.
Not anymore. With MyOPD, we work with Doctors who own small Hospitals and Nursing homes. These Hospitals or Nursing Homes range from around 5 Beds to 40 Beds.
Doing so allows us to rightly provide the features such Hospitals need, plus provide it at the right cost that the owners want.

Is there such a thing as a best month to start using an EMR or a clinic management software?
MARCH
Here are 3 reasons why we think March is the best month to start using Clinic Software in your practice.
Reason # 1: Using a new technology when clinic load is less
Traditionally, the Summer months are the months in which people are less sick. As a result, the load in the clinics is less during the months of Summer. In India, the Summer typically starts from March and goes on till mid June. So using this criteria, we could select any of these months, say March, April, May or June to get started. Then why March is still the best?
Reason # 2: Learning time window
When you purchase the clinic software in March, you and your team gets a good 2 months on the software with less loaded clinic. It helps a lot as the team in clinic gets familiar with various features of the software with the help of training and support from the vendor. May and June do not offer that opportunity as there is a rise in patient numbers once the rainy season starts in June. April is still in the race, however, it falls out on the next selection criteria.
Reason # 3: Accounting Year
In India, the financial year starts from April and ends in March. Clinics and Hospitals need to know the counts of patients or billing details during the financial year period. Starting in March allows you to start capturing data from April. If you start in April or May, you may lose the initial set of data which need to be a part of the report.
The same logic of getting started with a clinic software is also applicable for Hospital Software.
Finally, if you are not reading this in March, don’t wait for the next March to come.
Remember the proverb: The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now.
And why don’t we provide Hospital Management Software for hospitals with more than 50 Beds?
If you are looking for Hospital Management Software and your setup is anywhere between 5 Beds to 50 Beds, you have come at the right place. You are special for us and we have a product for you.
We get asked a lot many times by Doctors and Hospital Administrators – “Why do we provide software to only those Hospitals having less than 50 Beds?”
Hospitals have multiple sizes. From our experience, Hospital Beds is one of the best criteria to classify hospitals. So you could classify Hospital roughly under below categories based on their beds:
1 – 10 Beds
10 – 30 Beds
30 – 50 Beds
50 – 100 Beds
100 – 500 Beds
500+ Beds
As the Hospital Beds go on increasing, so does
The number of Doctors associated with the Hospital
The number of specialties that the Hospital Caters to
The staff working in the Hospital
The admissions that happen in the Hospital
The computerized systems that will be used in the Hospital
The compliances for the Hospital
So, when a Hospital Management Software caters to Hospitals, the requirements and expectations from the Hospital Management Software go on changing based on the category of the Hospital.
For example
Having a Pharmacy or Laboratory module along with Hospital Management Software
Having it installed on multiple systems in multiple departments
Reports required to give insights about the functioning of the Hospital
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of such a solution
Cloud based solution or On Premise solution
Internet Dependent Solution or an Offline option
As seen, there is fundamental difference in the way Hospitals get managed depending on the type of a Hospital. Hence, a Hospital Management System should assist the administrators as closely as possible with respect to their requirements.
At MyOPD, we have perfected the functioning of Hospitals under 50 Beds. So if you have a 5 bedded Hospital or a 50 Bedded Hospital, we got you covered. We have been working regularly with Doctors and administrators managing Hospitals of these sizes.
As a result
MyOPD Hospital Management Software covers the requirements for Hospitals under 50 Beds nicely.
Suites the budget of such Hospitals.
Has well equipped support staff to handle training and support of staff working in such Hospitals.
All this results in fantastic solution for Doctors who run such Hospitals at the prices they can afford. Refer to our pocket friendly hospital management software pricing plans to see it for yourself.
