General

Add a patient
Create a patient record with the essentials, then finish the rest of their details afterwards.
Find and manage your patient list
Search for a patient, filter the list, and jump straight into a new appointment or record.
Archive, restore, or delete a patient
Retire a patient record you no longer need active, bring one back, or remove one permanently when you're certain.
Set up concession types
Create concession types so you can charge certain patients a reduced rate that's applied to their invoices automatically.
Set concession prices on services
Give each service a reduced price per concession so patients with a concession are billed the lower rate automatically.
Assign a concession to a patient
Give a patient a concession so their invoices are automatically billed at the concession rate.
Edit a patient's details
Update a patient's identity, contact information, and communication preferences, and see who changed what.
See what changed on a patient's record
Check who edited a patient's details, and what the value was before the change.
Record a patient's pronouns and preferred name
Make sure staff and outgoing messages use the name and pronouns a patient actually wants.
Set a patient's time zone
Make sure a patient in a different time zone sees their appointment time correctly, in reminders and online booking.
Relate patients to one another
Link family members and other connected patients so their relationship is visible on each record.
Set a patient's communication preferences
Control what a specific patient receives by email or text, separate from your clinic's usual defaults.
Build custom patient fields
Add your own fields to every patient record, grouped into sections, so you capture exactly what your clinic needs.
Set up referral sources
Track how patients find your clinic, so you know which sources of new patients are actually working.
Manage contacts
Keep a record of referring doctors and other people outside your clinic you communicate with.
