Software for small and mid-size nursing homes

A nursing home is a harder software problem than a clinic, and most clinic software gives up at exactly the point where it starts to matter. A patient walks in to OPD, gets admitted the same afternoon, spends four days on a bed, has lab work done on two of them, and leaves with one bill that has to add all of that up correctly. If the software treats OPD and IPD as separate islands, somebody does that arithmetic by hand at the discharge counter, with the family waiting.

What it covers

  • Admissions — admit from an OPD visit or directly, with ward and bed assignment
  • Bed tracking — who is where, and what is free
  • Charges as they accrue — bed charges, doctor visits, procedures, lab
  • Discharge billing — one bill that pulls in everything from the stay
  • Cashbook — what came in, in what payment mode, on any given day

Built in a hospital, not in a meeting room

Every part of this was written against a real hospital's real workload and is still running there. That shows up in small places: the UHID prefix is yours to set, discharge bills print on half-page stationery because that is what the stationery drawer had, and the trial prints ordinary unmarked bills so you can evaluate it on actual patients rather than on dummy data.

Try it before you decide

The seven-day trial covers 30 OPD registrations, 20 lab bills and 5 admissions. That is deliberately enough to admit a real patient, run the stay and print the discharge bill — because admissions are the thing you are actually shopping for, and a trial that hides them tells you nothing.

Questions we get asked

How many beds does it handle?

There is no bed limit in the software. It was built for a working hospital and is sized for the 10–50 bed range, where one or two people at reception handle both OPD and admissions.

Can two computers use it at once?

Not in Solo, which is licensed for one PC. Other machines on the same network can open it in a browser, but the multi-user edition with separate roles and permissions is still being built.

Will it print on our existing printer?

Yes. Bills print on ordinary A4 or half-page stationery on a normal printer. No special hardware.

Try it on your own counter

Seven days, your own patients, nothing to pay. If it does not suit you, uninstall it; your records stay on your computer either way.
