What a general surgery clinic needs every day

A surgical clinic's work turns around the operation, before it a visit, assessment, tests, the ASA class and questions about anticoagulants, diabetes drugs and past anaesthesia, after it the first dressing at two days, suture removal at ten, the pathology result, and a review a month after hernia or gallbladder surgery.

Each step needs an appointment of a different length, a pre-op assessment of half an hour, a dressing of a quarter and a minor procedure of 45 minutes, and services with prices, since operations, dressings and pre-op tests are all invoice lines.

The record keeps the operation note, the pathology result and wound photos, the reference if an infection appears or a report is needed for insurance, and wound, breast and anal photos are sensitive and seen by the treating doctor only.

What wears General Surgery clinics down

Pre-op tests

Blood count, coagulation, glucose, kidney function and viral screens, and every patient forgets one.

An unreviewed pathology result

The result arrives weeks later, and reviewing it with the patient depends on them coming back by themselves.

Dressings and suture removal

First dressing and suture removal dates followed by reception in a notebook.

How Clinicato handles it

Pre-op assessment

A pre-operative assessment is a ready visit type, with exam fields and ASA, Caprini, STOP-Bang and Mallampati.

Wound photos and reports

Upload wound photos, the operative note and the pathology result to the visit, and see them in the medical history in date order.

Post-op reminders

First dressing, suture removal, pathology review, and a one-month check after hernia or gallbladder surgery, on WhatsApp.

Patient privacy, by design

Health data is among the most sensitive there is, so Clinicato is built for everyone in your clinic to see only what their work needs.

    Reception books, issues receipts and collects, but never sees the diagnosis, prescription or the doctor's notes, and patient lists and exports carry no medical data.

  • A log of everyone who opened the record

    Every look at or change to the medical record is logged with who did it and when, for the clinic manager to review any time.

  • Documented patient consent

    The consent of the patient or their guardian to processing their data is recorded at registration, signed, verbal or electronic, and can be withdrawn, in line with Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law 151 of 2020.

  • A separate database for every clinic

    Your clinic's data lives in its own database, private files open through short-lived links, and our support team enters your account only with your consent and never sees medical content.
