I have developed an application using Visual Basic 6 and Sql Server for Clinic Management. The development was done in the year 2004 and its been used at our Clinic since then. I have done the 100% coding and it took me about 8 months to complete the project and 3 months we did the testing work. Now we have 2 installation running at Maldives. Almost bug free, excellent performance, very user friendly.

Brief Idea of the software

This application was designed for the place where I work and I knew what we needed. We do the invoicing, at different location, Payroll, Management reports, Patient History, Laboratory Module, Pharmacy Module and almost every thing available

Masters

1. Patient
2. Doctors
3. Employees
4. Departments
5. Products and Services

Features

When a patient enters the clinic, invoicing is done, but before that the patient is registered if the patient is coming for the first time. We can make credit as well as cash bills, payment mode is recorded. It has a strong security feature where every user has to use the login information to use the software and different rights can be set by the administrator. The administrator can create new users and has more rights to use the software. Every transaction is saved with the details of user, time, etc. The system is multi-user and connects to the central Database. Patient visit details, token numbering, Bar code, setting the service validity date, like repeat consultation with 5 days can be set to be free and a zero value invoice can be generated for records are some of the other features

Reporting

This application has excellent reporting system, which can be used by the accountant, Management to check the performance of every department, doctors, etc. We have closing report for doing sales closing.

Pharmacy Module

Pharmacy module is connected to the main application and the patient data is shared. You do not need to register the patient again if the patient is registered with the clinic. Credit and cash invoicing can be done. Features like request quotation, releasing purchase order, entering stock, managing inventory, checking for near expiry products, rack numbers, product details are available.

Patient Record Module

This application has a patient records module which is used to store the details of the patients. New records can be added by the doctor and get all the details of the previous treatments given at the clinic

Appointments Module

This module is used to register appointments for the Doctors. Invoices can be generated from the appointments page directly if the patient is already registered

Laboratory Module

Once a patient requests for a laboratory investigation and the invoice is made, the laboratory gets all the information related to the request and enter the reports directly.

The software is very user-friendly and has be modified by getting feedbacks from the user. The application can work even on a 64 mb ram Machine. The program needs a strong server and good networking done for high speed performance. I am now confident of making this application commercial as I have worked on this project for more than 4 years now, tons of invoicing done, used by novice users who had never used computers. If you are interested in this application, I would be happy to answer your queries
