Creating Doctors

Note:
Doctors can be broadly categorized into two main groups:

1. In-house and Visiting Doctors – These are doctors who work within the hospital premises. Visiting doctors may not be full-time but still attend the hospital.

2. Referring Doctors – These doctors refer patients to the hospital but do not visit or work within the hospital themselves.

In this document, we will focus on in-house and visiting doctors only.

Doctor Access to Nice HMS

Organizations must decide whether they want to provide Nice HMS access to their in-house and visiting doctors.

For example, let’s assume the hospital has a total of 25 doctors.
Note: Duty doctors who do not admit patients or conduct independent consultations are not included here. This document only refers to consultants.

Only users within your organization can be assigned the status of "Doctor" and be granted access to the software.

How to Convert a User to a Doctor

Administrative users have the authority to convert existing users into doctors. To do this:

1. Log in to Nice HMS.

2. Navigate to the Admin section from the sidebar.

3. Click on "New Doctor From User" under the Doctor section.

Managing Non-Active Doctors

For doctors who do not need software access (such as certain visiting doctors), you can:

• Create a user profile for them.

• Mark their status as Inactive.

This approach helps reduce software costs, as pricing is calculated based only on active users.

Important Notes

Ensure that all required details for each doctor are entered accurately.
The name entered in the doctor’s profile will appear on printed prescriptions.
