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
- Connect a TV or monitor to the Smart TV Queue display
- Customise the display with your hospital logo and color scheme
- Configure the white-label patient app branding
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
