First-day checklist​

  1. Sign up and choose facility type CLINIC ? Clinic or POLYCLINIC ? Polyclinic, then specialty DERMATOLOGY ? Dermatology. Result: the right modules, terminology, services and templates are enabled.
  2. Complete the Onboarding wizard at /app/onboarding: clinic, departments, practitioners, branding, services, templates, gst, import and goLive. Result: the go-live checklist is ready.
  3. Save Settings (/app/system-settings) and create one Branch (/app/branches). Result: the forced setup block clears.
  4. Open Services (/app/services) and review seeded services: DERM_CONSULT Dermatology Consultation, DERM_PROCEDURE Dermatology Procedure, DERM_PEEL Chemical Peel. Set prices and GST before billing. Result: service lines are ready.
  5. Open Employees (/app/employees) ? Create Employee. Fill Full Name, Phone Number, Email Address, Allow app login for this employee, Employee Role (RECEPTIONIST, DOCTOR, THERAPIST, ACCOUNTANT, BRANCH_MANAGER, SUPER_ADMIN) and Branch; for doctors/therapists add Professional Details. Result: staff receives a set-password email when login is enabled.
  6. Register the first patient from Patients (/app/patients/register); use a fictitious dry-run patient such as Asha Verma. Result: the file is ready for queue, appointment, documents and billing.
  7. Issue a walk-in token from Queue (/app/queue) or book from Appointments (/app/appointments/book). Result: the practitioner can open the visit.
  8. Start the encounter workspace (/app/patients/:patientId/encounters/:encounterId), record vitals where relevant and save notes. Result: the encounter is in the timeline.
  9. Use the Rx pad in the encounter, save and print/share the prescription. Result: Rx is available for print and portal sharing.

  12. Share Rx, clinical document or bill from print/share or WhatsApp Inbox (/app/whatsapp-inbox). Result: the patient receives the selected PDF or link.
note

Screens for signup and the onboarding wizard ship with release R1; labels may differ slightly. New owners are still redirected to Settings (/app/system-settings) and Branches (/app/branches) until organisation settings and one branch exist.

  • Use queue prefix DERM; use appointments for procedures needing room preparation.
  • Capture photo consent before adding clinical photographs.
  • Create taxable products separately from GST-exempt consultations and treatments.
  • Use treatment packages for peels or procedure courses.
  • Share sensitive photos only as selected signed documents or files.
