Hospital OS Clinical Suite
A modern, unified Hospital Information System (HIS) connecting clinical care with Katixo's enterprise ERP backend. Explore complete module documentation covering the entire patient journey: from front-desk registration and OPD token calling to inpatient ward admissions, laboratory investigations, operation theatre scheduling, pharmacy dispensing, and cashless TPA insurance billing.
1. Module Overview: The Unified Hospital Information System
Katixo Hospital OS bridges the historical divide between medical software and commercial accounting. Clinical events (admissions, lab tests, medications administered, surgeries) automatically generate billing lines in the patient folio and post compound journals to the General Ledger with zero manual reentry:
Single UHID Patient Record
One Unique Hospital Identification (UHID) number connects lifetime OPD visits, IPD admissions, and lab results.
Auto-Accrual Billing
Daily bed rent, nursing charges, and doctor consultation fees auto-accrue to the patient folio at midnight.
ABDM & E-Prescription
Compliant with Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) guidelines for interoperable health records.
2. End-to-End Clinical Workflow (The 5-Stage Patient Journey)
- 1Reception Registration & OPD Token: Front desk captures patient demographics, creates the UHID, and issues an OPD consultation token. Token status displays live on the waiting room digital TV screen.
- 2Doctor Consultation (eRx): The physician calls the token, reviews medical history, records chief complaints, vitals, and diagnoses, and generates an electronic prescription with digital signature.
- 3Diagnostics & Pharmacy: Prescribed lab tests flow directly to the Pathology workstation for barcode accessioning; medicines flow to the Hospital Pharmacy for FEFO batch dispensing.
- 4Inpatient (IPD) Care: If hospitalization is required, the patient is assigned a ward/bed (General, Semi-Private, Deluxe, ICU). Nurses maintain electronic medication administration records (eMAR).
- 5Discharge & Final Billing: All bed fees, pharmacy issues, surgeries, and doctor visits consolidate into a unified itemized bill. Cashless TPA insurance pre-authorizations are settled in one click.
