Overview

A mid-size multi-specialty hospital in Gujarat moved from paper-based OPD and manual billing to Softpital in 6 weeks — recovering ₹2.8L in monthly missed charges within the first quarter.

The Challenge

  • 1

    OPD registration was handled on paper. Front desk staff re-keyed patient data into a separate billing spreadsheet — introducing errors and missing charges on procedures ordered during consultation.

  • 2

    Pharmacy dispensing had no connection to billing. Medicines were often given to IPD patients without being invoiced, creating consistent end-of-month revenue shortfalls.

  • 3

    Lab reports from the in-house pathology unit were delivered on printed sheets. There was no digital trail, no TAT tracking, and no way to audit which reports had been shared.

  • 4

    Three departments — OPD, pharmacy, and billing — ran on separate spreadsheets. Generating month-end MIS reports took 2 days and required manual reconciliation across all three.

The Softpital Solution

The hospital deployed Softpital Hospital Pro across all six departments in a single go-live. OPD registration auto-populates billing. Every pharmacy dispense triggers an automatic charge. Lab orders are tied to patient encounters. The billing team now works from a single unified view — no spreadsheets, no manual reconciliation.

We were losing money every month without knowing exactly where. Softpital showed us the leaks — and then closed them. The billing team now finishes in half the time and the reports run themselves.
