General practice¶
WideCare serves the general practitioner in their own practice, alone or with colleagues: the patients, the diary, the consultation note and the acts billed for it, in one app.
The Practice app¶
Menu |
What it opens |
|---|---|
Patients |
The patients of the practice, one card each. |
Appointments |
The diary: one calendar, one colour per practitioner. |
Consultations |
Every encounter with a patient and its SOAP note. |
Billable Acts |
The acts performed, to invoice or already invoiced. |
Key principles¶
Patient: a person the practice cares for. Their card holds the identity, the contacts and the history of what was done for them.
Appointment: a time slot in the diary with a patient, a practitioner and a reason. It follows the visit: planned, confirmed, arrived, seen.
Consultation: one encounter, at the practice or at home. It records the reason and the SOAP note (subjective, objective, assessment, plan).
Billable act: one act performed for the patient during the consultation, with its fee and who pays what.
Invoice: the acts become a customer invoice, one per patient.
A consultation, from the diary to the invoice¶
Book the slot in Practice → Appointments.
When the patient arrives, click Patient Arrived, then Start Consultation.
Write the SOAP Note and add the acts on the Acts tab.
Click Close Consultation, then Create Invoice.
In Belgium
The Belgian practice adds the eID card reading, the insurability check, the eAttest, the global medical file (DMG), the INAMI nomenclature and the eFact per act: see General practice in Belgium.
