1
Register or find the patient
Create the patient record or reopen an existing one before starting the visit.
Patient registration and OPD
Move an outpatient visit from registration to a completed encounter
Register patients, create encounters, capture triage and consultation details, add diagnoses, place service orders, bill, receive payment, and close the visit.
The operational problem
Outpatient work becomes fragmented when every desk keeps a separate record
Registration, triage, consultation, orders, billing, and fulfilment need a shared patient and encounter context. CliviQue keeps the operational hand-offs attached to the same visit instead of rebuilding the story from paper and verbal updates.
What CliviQue currently supports
Patient and encounter context
Keep demographic details, the active encounter, clinical notes, diagnoses, orders, and billing references connected.
Triage and consultation
Support role-specific work for triage staff and clinicians without exposing every action to every user.
Ordered services
Create lab, imaging, pharmacy, and procedure orders from the encounter workflow.
Completion with billing context
Track the visit through charges and payment before the encounter is completed.
How the workflow progresses
A connected operational sequence
2
Document the encounter
Capture triage, consultation, diagnoses, and the required clinical service orders.
3
Complete the operational hand-offs
Fulfil orders, resolve billing, and close the encounter with its history intact.
Current scope and limitations
What this feature does not claim
- The current MVP is an operational HMIS workflow, not an autonomous clinical decision system.
- Clinical decisions and documentation quality remain the responsibility of authorized hospital staff.
- Appointment scheduling is not presented as part of this OPD feature set.
