With the RxOffice patient portal, patients no longer need to wait in a queue
Just as the peripheral devices connect with the computer to add functionality similarly peripheral applications enhances the scope and applicability of Hospital Management Software.
Few top peripheral apps are listed below:
Patient portal
A patient portal is a secure portal that provides patients convenient 24X7 access to his personal health information from anywhere in the world through web with a secure authentication. This is typically crucial when someone travels abroad and needs medical care. With patient portal his vitals, allergies and active medication list is available to download in Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (CDA), internationally acceptable format at a click of button (Blue Button).
A number of wearable devices are available in the market for tracking the vitals. With CDA, the vital patient health information gets available to doctors directly. The wearable data is directly sent to the portal interface which in turn sends the data to the doctor’s HMIS. This would help the doctors to track the abnormalities in the vitals like BP, sugar levels etc. Doctors can pro actively call the patients rather than a reactive response.
With the RxOffice patient portal, patients no longer need to wait in a queue. Patients can request for appointments online. The one touch ‘My Health’ empowers the patients to keep track of their medical records like
- Allergies
- Diagnosis

RxOffice RxTextSave (Messaging Mobile Application)
RxOffice RxTextSave is a mobile application designed to help healthcare stakeholders (doctors and patients) to securely save the text messages into respective Electronic Medical Records (EMR)/ Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems. This supports the doctors to keep track of communication done via mobile platform, those later syncs with EMR / EHR system. This way important text messages become a part of the patient chart.

This application also acts as a secured storage vault for your text messages. Any message saved in this would get encrypted and is only accessible to authorised user, thus protecting the text messages in case of loss of mobile.
On connecting to the computer the data can be backed up to the PC.
How it works
Once the user has logged in, he will have options of selecting and viewing the existing selected messages.
The application also provides the option of sending text messages to the patients directly. There is also an additional facility to set a priority message with a colour option, which prioritises messages as per importance. This facility helps doctors to prioritise text messages for the follow ups later.
3.RxOffice Consultant
RxOffice Consultant is a mobile application for visiting doctors in multiple hospitals. In today’s multi-specialty hospital it’s an easy app to monitor your patients. In the present scenario, the hospitals provide the doctors with a list of patients they have examined along with the amount payable at the end of each month. With the RxOffice Consultant mobile application, the doctors can also keep track of the patients they have diagnosed and get a monthly report as well. This will enable them to cross check the report send by the hospitals.
How it works:
From the hospital list, the doctors can select the hospitals and make the patient entries. At the end of the month, they will also get patient reports per hospital. RxOffice Consultant application, also provides doctors an option to enter their payments received from the hospitals and get a reconcilation report.
4.WipeOut Security Tool
Confidentiality is the primary goal for the people who handle sensitive data like patient medical records or accounts related data. When you delete files from the computer, they are all merely tagged for ‘being deleted’, but not actually deleted. This exposes an organisation to a possible non-compliance with data destruction policies, as well as endangering the safety of personal information in cases where a computer is hacked, stolen, or simply repurposed after upgrading to a new machine.
WipeOut is an advanced security tool, which allows the user to completely remove sensitive data from the hard drive. The pattern used for overwriting, effectively removes the files/ folders from the hard disk while making the data recovery impossible.
Benefits
- Secures wipe out of any file/ folder on the PC
- Protects privacy by ensuring that the wiped out file cannot be recovered
- Permanent removal of old wiped out files from the hard drive
- Cleans Internet history, cookies, and temporary files
- Prevents identity thieves from retrieving personal information from the system
- Helps clean your old PC or laptop data before donating or selling them
WipeOut has one more unique feature that is ‘Rescue Me’. It is a feature provided to help users wipe out files specified in the option menu instantly. Multiple files can be selected here and wiped out as and when required using this feature.
