Sri Lankan buyers often search outdoor patient system or OPD software separately from inpatient hospital system. Mini hospitals need both. Capricon Care treats OPD and IPD as linked channels under one patient identity.
Outdoor patient (OPD) core
- Registration and appointments by consultant
- Queue and waiting-list visibility for front desk
- Consultation notes and prescriptions
- Lab and pharmacy orders from the visit
- Same-day billing and cashier close
Inhouse / inpatient (IPD) core
- Admission, bed allocation, transfer, and discharge
- Ward nursing notes, vitals, and medication administration basics
- Pharmacy and lab orders from the ward against the admission
- Deposits, interim estimates, and final settlement
- Doctor rounds and continuity from prior OPD visits
Mini-hospital reality check
If you have beds but still run admissions on paper, pharmacy and lab will invent parallel patient names. If you only run OPD, do not buy a heavy IPD package yet. Capricon Care lets starting hospitals enable OPD first, then inpatient when beds are real.
See Capricon Care and the private hospital HMS case study for how patient flow and billing unify at the front door.
Frequently asked questions
What is outdoor patient software?
Outdoor patient (OPD) software covers same-day clinic visits: registration, queues, consultation, prescriptions, investigations, and outpatient billing, without bed allocation.
When do we need IPD modules?
When you admit patients overnight or for multi-day stays: beds, nursing notes, ward orders, pharmacy issues to beds, and discharge settlement.
Can one system run OPD and IPD together?
Yes. Capricon Care uses one patient master so an outdoor visit can become an admission without re-registering the person or losing clinical history.
