One Connected System for Your Acute-Care Hospital

Care18 gives your general acute-care hospital one operational spine: registration, consultation, wards, diagnostics, pharmacy and billing running on a single patient record. Front-desk queues move faster, ward staff chart at the bedside, and administrators watch the whole day unfold live, from first token to final discharge settlement.

  • One record from registration to discharge
  • Ward, theatre and diagnostics in step
  • Live census and collection dashboards

Introduction

Built Around How a Hospital Actually Runs

A hospital is not one workflow but dozens running at once: OPD queues, emergency admissions, ward rounds, operation theatres, laboratory orders, pharmacy dispenses and a billing desk that has to reconcile all of it before the day ends. Care18 connects these streams through a single patient record, so every department works from the same information at the same moment. Registration data reaches the consultant without being typed twice, an order placed in OPD appears in the lab immediately, and charges land on the bill as care is delivered.

  • One patient record shared by OPD, wards, diagnostics and billing
  • Charges captured at the point of care, not at discharge
  • Live bed, queue and workload visibility for every shift
  • Modular rollout — start with core modules, add the rest over time

Key Benefits

  • A Shorter Patient Journey

    Registration, consultation, diagnostics and billing follow one continuous flow, cutting repeat data entry, queue backlogs and waiting time at every touchpoint.

  • Complete Charge Capture

    Every service ordered during care reaches the patient's bill automatically, reducing unbilled procedures, disputed lines and the end-of-month reconciliation your finance team otherwise performs.

  • Safer Clinical Handovers

    Doctors, nurses and technicians read the same record during shift changes, referrals and emergencies, so history is never lost between teams.

  • Clearer Operational Control

    Managers see occupancy, collection, staffing load and department performance live, replacing end-of-month spreadsheets with decisions made and acted upon the same day.

Core Features

Key Features

  • Unified Patient Journey

    Registration, consultation, admission, procedures, pharmacy and discharge all update one record, so no department re-enters the same details or hunts for history.

  • Ward & Bed Management

    Track admissions, transfers, bed availability and nursing tasks from a live ward board that reflects the floor in real time.

  • Diagnostics Ordering

    Push lab and radiology orders from the OPD desk or bedside; results return to the same patient file for every treating team.

  • Pharmacy at the Counter

    Dispensing checks stock, batch validity and the prescription together, giving outpatients and inpatients accurate medicine without a second queue or a manual lookup at the counter.

  • Integrated Billing

    Services, consumables and medicine charges flow into one bill, with insurance and TPA support, package rates and settlement tracked from admission through discharge.

  • Operational Dashboards

    Monitor occupancy, collections, waiting times, staffing load and department trends on live dashboards built for the daily management review rather than month-end reporting.

Hospital journey

How a Patient Moves Through Your Hospital

One connected flow from the front desk to discharge and beyond.

  1. 01

    Front Desk Registration

    Front-desk staff capture demographics, insurance and contact details once, issuing a hospital-wide ID that follows the patient everywhere.

  2. 02

    Consultation & Orders

    The consultant reviews history on the same record, notes findings and raises lab, imaging or admission orders without re-collection.

  3. 03

    Ward & Procedure Care

    Nurses admit, chart vitals and administer medicines while theatre lists, procedure schedules and discharge plans stay coordinated across the teams involved.

  4. 04

    Diagnostics & Pharmacy

    Laboratory, radiology and pharmacy fulfil requests against the same patient record, with stock levels, result status and charges updating live for everyone.

  5. 05

    Billing & Discharge

    The bill settles by payment or insurance, and a discharge summary closes the episode with follow-up already planned.
