piClinic
| The piClinic Console field test finished successfully in July 2019. Read the preliminary report. |
The piClinic is an open-source, patient-record automation solution designed for limited-resource healthcare clinics around the world. piClinic systems fill the gap between a paper-based patient-record system and a complete Electronic Health Record (EHR) system at a very low cost per system.
The piClinic is built on the digital principles to provide an accessible, sustainable, and low-cost solution.
Benefits
Many small clinics around the world would benefit from some form of patient-record automation to reduce duplicate and misplaced files and improve their ability to report on patients and clinic activities. However, for many of these clinics, an EHR system is too costly to install and too complex to maintain.
piClinic provides the essential patient-record automation functions of:
- Electronic patient master index
- Digital archiving of patient records
- Patient visit tracking and record-keeping
- Basic patient and clinic operation and summary reports
Introducing a piClinic system to a clinic helps the clinic enjoy the benefits of better organization and automated reporting quickly, while preparing the clinic and its systems to move to a more comprehensive EHR in the future.
Current status
The piClinic Console was field-tested in four clinics in Honduras during summer 2019. Read the preliminary report.
