How to Digitize Your Hospital in 7 Days

The biggest reason Indian hospitals delay digitization is the fear of disruption — "what if the system fails during OPD?" The good news: with the right hospital management software and a structured onboarding plan, going live takes 7 days, not months.

Day 1: Software Setup and Account Configuration

  • Sign up for your HMS (Cufront's setup is same-day)
  • Configure your hospital profile: name, address, logo, departments
  • Add doctors, staff, and their login credentials
  • Set up consultation fees by doctor and specialty

Day 2: Import Existing Patient Data

  • Export patient records from your current system or spreadsheets
  • Cufront's onboarding team handles the import — no technical skills needed
  • Verify a sample of records for accuracy

Day 3: Configure Modules

  • Set up OPD workflows: appointment slots, walk-in queue settings
  • Configure pharmacy inventory: add medicines, set reorder levels
  • Set up billing: GST rates, payment modes, receipt formats
  • Connect Razorpay for digital payments

Day 4: Set Up the Smart TV Queue and Patient App

Day 5: Staff Training

  • Receptionist training: 2–3 hours for appointment booking, patient registration, billing
  • Doctor training: 1 hour for prescription writing, consultation notes
  • Pharmacy staff training: 1–2 hours for dispensing workflow

Day 6: Dry Run

  • Run a full simulated OPD session with staff playing patients
  • Identify any workflow gaps and adjust settings
  • Test WhatsApp reminders and the TV queue display

Day 7: Go Live

  • Start with a partial OPD (morning session only)
  • Cufront support team on standby for real-time assistance
  • Full OPD and all modules live by end of day

Cufront's onboarding team manages Days 1–3 for you. Book a demo to start the process.
