RAKT / OPD

Manage outpatient
visits and follow-ups.

Connect reception, consultation, prescriptions, and follow-up around the patient. Give the front desk a queue to manage and the clinician a record to work from, without treating each appointment as a fresh start.

Sample patient A

Consultation
VISIT CONTEXT

First consultation

Record the presenting complaint, examination, and assessment in the visit. Vitals and earlier visits give the clinician context without starting the patient record again.

Clinical notes Visit-linkedVitals Recorded in the encounterConsultation template Reusable structure
01

Register

Find the patient, open the visit, and assign the consulting doctor.

02

Prepare

Allocate a queue token and record the vitals and symptoms for the consultation.

03

Consult

Capture clinical notes, prepare prescriptions, and arrange investigations or referral.

04

Follow through

Close the visit with the prescription, billing, and next follow-up recorded.

01 / A queue with clinical context

Manage the visit from reception to the consulting room.

Open a visit against the existing patient record and consulting doctor. Queue tokens give reception and clinical teams a shared reference for the day. The visit brings together the information needed for the consultation, so the queue is connected to the work happening behind each number.

  • Patient-linked visits and queue tokens
  • Consulting doctor assignment
  • Vitals and presenting symptoms

02 / Document the consultation

Make the record useful for the next visit.

Capture clinical notes alongside the patient’s vitals, symptoms, and visit history. Where appropriate, the last closed visit can provide a starting point for a new consultation, with the clinician reviewing what is carried forward. The record stays tied to the visit rather than becoming an unrelated document.

  • Clinical notes and visit attachments
  • Previous-visit context
  • Referrals and follow-up details

03 / Prescribe and hand over

Keep the prescription connected to dispensing.

Build a prescription with drug items and instructions, then sign it as part of the visit. Allergy checks use the information recorded for the patient. A prescription can be sent into the pharmacy workflow, where the pharmacy team handles allocation, billing, and dispensing.

  • Prescription preparation and signing
  • Recorded-allergy checks
  • Prescription-to-pharmacy handoff

04 / Complete the visit

Record billing and follow-up plans.

Consultation charges and payments belong alongside the care record. Follow-up dates and reminders help the team manage the next contact; messaging depends on the organisation’s delivery settings and consent requirements. Day-care visits are also supported where the outpatient setup includes day-care beds.

  • Consultation charges and visit billing
  • Follow-up reminders
  • Day-care visit and bed assignment

BEYOND THIS DEPARTMENT

How this department
works with the others.

A consultation can lead to laboratory or radiology investigations, a pharmacy prescription, or further care. The patient identity stays connected as those teams take over. Configure the receiving departments and staff access to fit your hospital.

A CLOSER LOOK

Practical
questions.

Can the doctor use information from the previous visit?

Yes. The outpatient workflow includes previous-visit context and a service for carrying selected information from the last closed visit into the new one. The new visit remains its own record.

Does a prescription go straight to the pharmacy?

The prescription can be sent to the pharmacy module. The pharmacy then follows its own stock allocation, billing, and dispensing steps; sending a prescription does not itself dispense medicines.

Can we use OPD without running every other department?

The department structure lets you scope the setup to the teams you need. We’ll review your outpatient workflow, roles, and required connections before enabling the wider hospital setup.
