MediCore
Custom hospital and clinic management software
Appointments through billing, with records that stay findable.
For hospitals, nursing homes and multi-doctor clinics where the front desk, the consulting room, the pharmacy, the lab and billing all need the same patient record and currently do not have it. Built around your departments, your tariffs and your insurance mix.
Screens
What it looks like
4 screens from the working demo — the same data you will see if you open it.
The problem
Why this gets built
A patient's history is spread across a registration desk, a doctor's notebook, the pharmacy counter and the billing system. When it matters, retrieving it takes longer than the consultation.
Who it is for
Fit
Clinics, nursing homes and small hospitals moving off paper registers and disconnected billing software.
Capabilities
What the system does.
Appointments
Doctor and department-wise scheduling with the day's list visible at the desk.
Patient records
One UHID per patient carrying visits, prescriptions, reports and billing history.
OPD & IPD
Outpatient consultation alongside admissions, bed and ward occupancy.
Prescriptions
Structured prescription lines with dosage, linked to the pharmacy rather than handwritten.
Pharmacy stock
Batch and expiry tracked, with near-expiry surfaced before it becomes a write-off.
Billing
Cash, insurance and TPA billing with itemised charges that reconcile against services delivered.

Buying decision
Why off-the-shelf falls short here.
Hospital software fails at the joins. Registration is usually fine and billing is usually fine; what breaks is that the doctor's notes, the lab order, the pharmacy issue and the bill are four systems with four patient identities, reconciled by a person carrying a file. Every one of those handoffs is where a charge gets missed and where a patient waits.
Insurance and TPA work makes it worse. A cash tariff, a scheme tariff and a corporate tariff for the same procedure, pre-authorisation that has to be tracked, and a claim that needs documents from three departments. Generic packages model one price per service and leave the rest to a clerk.
A custom build fixes the identity first - one patient record across every department - and then models your actual tariff structure and your actual claim workflow, so the bill is complete when the patient is discharged rather than a week later.
Comparison
Packaged product vs a custom build.
The differences that decide it, for this sector specifically.
| Aspect | Packaged product | Custom build |
|---|---|---|
| Patient identity | Separate records per department | One UHID across OPD, IPD, pharmacy, lab and billing, with the full history attached |
| Tariffs | One price per service | Cash, scheme, corporate and TPA rate cards applied by the patient's category automatically |
| Insurance | A field on the bill | Pre-authorisation tracking, document checklists and claim status as a workflow of its own |
| Clinical notes | Free text or a separate EMR | Structured where it helps ordering and billing, free where the doctor needs it to be |
| Pharmacy and lab | Standalone systems | Orders raised from the consultation, issues and results posting back to the same record and the same bill |
| Discharge | A manual summary | Assembled from the record, with the final bill reconciled before the patient leaves |
Integrations
What it connects to.
A system that cannot reach the tools already in use becomes another island. These are the connections this sector normally needs.
Accounting
Revenue by department and payer posted to Tally or Zoho Books without a monthly re-key.
Payments
Counter and online collection, including advance deposits against an admission.
Lab and imaging
HL7 or file-based interfacing with analysers and PACS so results land on the record.
Insurance and TPA
Claim packets assembled from the record, in the format each payer expects.
Messaging
Appointment reminders and report-ready alerts to the patient's phone.
How it runs
From first conversation to cutover.
Indicative for a build of this shape. The parallel run is not optional — nothing is retired until the numbers agree.
- 2 weeks
Discovery
We take your service master, every tariff you operate, and walk one patient's path from registration to discharge.
- 6-10 weeks
Core build
Registration, OPD, billing and pharmacy first, because that path carries the most patients.
- 3-4 weeks
Department pilot
OPD runs live while IPD continues as it is, until billing reconciles daily without correction.
- 3-5 weeks
Rollout
IPD, lab, insurance workflow and reporting brought on, department by department.
After rollout
What changes day to day.
- Charges stop being missed at handoffs, because the order and the bill line are the same event.
- A discharge bill is ready when the patient is ready, not after a reconciliation the next morning.
- Claim rejections fall because the documents a payer needs are collected as the episode happens.
- A patient's history is available to the doctor without the physical file.
Described qualitatively on purpose. We do not publish percentage improvements we cannot attribute to a named client with their agreement.
Questions
Common questions.
Does it cover both OPD and IPD?
Yes. Outpatient consultation runs alongside admissions, with bed and ward occupancy tracked.
Is patient history accessible across visits?
Yes. One patient identifier carries visits, prescriptions, reports and billing history, so retrieval is immediate rather than a search through files.
Can it handle insurance and TPA billing?
Yes. Cash, insurance and TPA billing are supported, with itemised charges that reconcile against services actually delivered.
