Outpatient Clinic Management System

Outpatient Clinic Management System is a system that manages outpatient patient processes where patients receive examination and treatment without hospitalization. It includes steps such as appointment, examination registration, test requests, and clinical documentation.

The system enables the physician to perform diagnosis, orders, and prescription processes digitally during the examination and ensures that this data is instantly reflected in the patient record.
