One system vs.
paper, sheets & chat
Many clinics still run on paper charts, a spreadsheet, and a group chat. Here's what changes when it all lives in one place.
Side by side
The everyday jobs of a clinic, done three ways.
| Task | Paper charts | Spreadsheets & chat apps | MyClinicSoft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Find a patient’s full history | Weak:Pull the folder by hand | Partial:Scattered across files and threads | Strong:Searchable in seconds, every visit linked |
| Bookings and reminders | Weak:Logbook and phone calls | Partial:Manual messages, one by one | Strong:Online booking with automatic SMS reminders |
| Waiting room | Weak:Paper numbers, crowded lobby | Weak:No live view | Strong:QR check-in and a live queue on patients’ phones |
| Prescriptions and lab results | Weak:Handwritten, easy to lose | Partial:Photos sent over chat | Strong:Printed or delivered to the eMCR app |
| Billing, PhilHealth and HMO claims | Weak:Receipts and manual tallies | Partial:Formulas that break | Strong:Invoices, payments, and claims tracked per visit |
| Medicine inventory | Weak:Count the shelves | Partial:Updated when someone remembers | Strong:Stock levels, low-stock alerts, expiry dates |
| Data Privacy Act | Weak:Anyone with the cabinet key | Weak:Shared files, personal phones | Strong:Role-based access and an audit trail |
| If disaster strikes | Weak:Fire or flood loses everything | Partial:Depends on one laptop | Strong:Cloud-hosted, with backups you can take any time |

- Is the pricing public?
