Patient tracking programs are software developed to improve patient care. These programs allow doctors and other healthcare professionals to access their patients’ medical histories, medications, and test results more easily.
The first versions of these programs, which began to be used in our country as early as 1996, stored patients’ information on a single computer. However, over time, these programs evolved, and today, patients’ medical information has become accessible via the internet. This has enabled doctors and other healthcare professionals to monitor their patients from anywhere, providing better care.
With the widespread use of the internet and advancements in technology, patient tracking programs have evolved from merely tracking patients to becoming comprehensive software that manages all operations of a clinic. At Medicasimple, we now define these systems as clinic management systems. Unlike older programs, clinic management systems manage and organise all the clinic’s operations, including patient appointments, treatment process management, finances, and many other functions.
These systems, with their various automations, have become an indispensable part of any clinic looking to grow.
The greatest contribution of these automated processes is that they reduce the margin for error while allowing clinics to spend more time with more patients with fewer staff.
In the current climate, we are seeing that clinics in Turkey are also embracing these automations, with data-driven management approaches becoming a trend and the role of the clinic coordinator gaining importance.
