How to run your hospital & clinic business with TheCEOApp

TheCEOApp team ·

A clinic juggles two businesses at once: care for patients, and a small pharmacy and store behind it. Bills for consultations, tests and admission days add up fast, and a patient who leaves owing is easy to lose track of.

TheCEOApp keeps the patient, the bill and the drugs used in one place.

Patient records

Visits, diagnoses, treatments and prescriptions go on each patient's record, with their consent, and only the owner and managers can see them.

Bills that add up

Consultation, tests, admission per day and drugs dispensed go on one bill. Part payments stay on the patient's name until the balance is cleared.

The pharmacy behind the clinic

Drugs are kept by batch with their expiry dates, sold by the tablet, strip or vial, and you're warned 30 days before a batch expires.

Record every sale in seconds

Add what you sell once, for example paracetamol (strip), drip (bag) and injection (vial), and services like consultation, admission (per day) and malaria treatment. Suggestions for a hospital & clinic come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.

Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the patient on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.

Keep stock the way you count it

Count stock by tablet, strip, sachet, pack and bottle. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the patient wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. Each item can carry expiry dates on each batch and barcodes (scan to sell). You can record each product's batch number, so you know exactly what is on the shelf.
