A Clinic's Transition from Paper to Paperless in 30 Days

In the digital age, it's no longer effective—or feasible—to run a clinic on paper-driven systems. Between lost files and billing discrepancies and hours of delay in seeing patients, manual processes often do more harm than help. For one small Indian clinic, this was their daily problem—until they came across DotHealth.

This is the tale of how they achieved complete paperlessness in 30 days, streamlined their operations, and optimized the patient experience with DotHealth's clinic management software.

The Problem: Manual Work, Cluttered Records, and Lost Revenue

Prior to the transition to DotHealth, this one-doctor clinic was completely reliant on:

• Paper patient records

• Handwritten prescriptions

• Manual billing and invoices

• Appointment logs in a notebook

• No digital data backup

This resulted in:

• Missing files

• Prolonged patient registration

• Billing delays and inaccuracies

•No tracking of returning patients

•Zero analytics for growth

They knew it was time to go digital—but worried it would be complicated, costly, and time-consuming.
