Software for gynaecology and obstetrics OPD clinics
Gynecology clinic software for the OBG OPD counter
Vitels is gynecology clinic software for the outpatient side of an obstetrics and gynaecology (OBG) practice in India: a solo gynaecologist's consulting room, or two or three consultants sharing one front desk. It keeps every antenatal and gynaecology visit in one expandable history, writes and prints prescriptions on your letterhead, runs the token queue and records the fee. It works offline and has no licence fee. It does not run a labour room, beds or scans.
What does a gynaecology and obstetrics clinic need from software?
An OBG outpatient clinic needs the earlier visits of a returning patient open in front of the doctor, because an antenatal patient comes back every few weeks across nine months and each visit builds on the last. It needs a prescription pad that handles long courses of the same medicines without retyping, a print on the clinic's own letterhead with nothing from the vendor on it, a follow-up list for women due back, and strict separation of one clinic's records from every other clinic. It does not need a labour room register, bed management or an ultrasound archive, and Vitels does not offer them.

What an OBG outpatient day looks like
A gynaecologist's OPD mixes two very different kinds of visit. Gynaecology patients mostly come once or twice: a complaint, an examination, a prescription, perhaps a review in a fortnight. Antenatal patients come back on a schedule, roughly monthly at first and then more often, across nine months. By the third trimester the doctor has seen the same woman eight or nine times, and each visit only makes sense against the ones before it.
That pattern shapes what software has to do. The front desk must find a woman who registered months ago in a few keystrokes, without creating a duplicate. The doctor must see the earlier visits without leaving the screen, write the next prescription quickly, and set the next date so the desk knows when she is due. Many antenatal prescriptions repeat month to month with small changes, which is where templates and the repeat function earn their place.
Keeping nine months of visits at hand
In Vitels every visit is saved as its own record in the patient's history. On the consultation screen, the patient rail shows allergies, existing conditions, the last visit with its prescription, and the earlier visits below it, each one expandable. The doctor reads the previous note, writes today's, and the new visit joins the list. Nothing is overwritten; a same-day correction is stored as a revision and the earlier version stays visible.
Vitels does not calculate the expected date of delivery from the last menstrual period, and it has no antenatal flowsheet or chart that plots weight, blood pressure or growth across visits. A clinic records those readings in the optional vitals fields and in the free-text complaint and diagnosis of each visit, and keeps the antenatal card or paper chart alongside. The patient's full history can be printed when she is referred elsewhere or moves to the hospital where she will deliver.
Long courses, templates and the repeat visit
A large share of what an OBG clinic prescribes is the same few medicines for months at a stretch. The prescription pad is keyboard-first: type the first letters of a drug, pick the variant, set frequency and duration, add the instruction, and the quantity for tablets and capsules is computed. Each doctor keeps favourites under F8 and builds multi-drug templates for the combinations they write most often, so a routine antenatal prescription is a template plus a tweak.
On a return visit the repeat path is three steps: Start, F4 to copy the last prescription, Ctrl+Enter to save and print. The copy is fully editable, so a changed dose or a new addition is a quick edit, and every version is kept in the history. Vitels records what the doctor decides. It does not suggest medicines, check doses or interactions, or propose a diagnosis; the complaint and diagnosis autocomplete learns only from that doctor's own completed visits.
Privacy at a women's clinic
Patients at a gynaecology clinic have a stronger claim to privacy than almost any other OPD. The token queue helps at the desk: tokens reach patients on WhatsApp and SMS, and the optional 80 mm slip shows patients ahead and an approximate wait, so a woman can wait outside or in the car rather than in a crowded room where names are called out. Reception and the doctor's screen stay in step within seconds, so the desk knows when to send the next patient in.
Inside the system, each clinic's records are isolated at the database row level, and Vitels staff have no standing access to patient records. The printed prescription carries only what the clinic chooses to put on its letterhead. There is no vendor logo, advert, QR code or pharmacy name on the page. More on how the data is held is on the security page.
Fees, the day book and more than one consultant
Each visit records one consultation amount, defaulting to the doctor's fee and editable at the desk, paid in cash, UPI or card, with an A5 receipt. The day book prints on A4 with totals by payment mode. A saved amount cannot be edited; it can only be voided with a reason the same day and re-issued, which keeps the book honest. There is no itemised procedure billing, no package billing for an antenatal course, and no GST invoicing for goods; see clinic billing software for what the billing does.
A solo gynaecologist runs on core Vitels with no licence fee. When a second consultant joins, or a visiting specialist takes an afternoon a week, Vitels Pro at ₹999 per clinic per month gives each doctor their own queue, fee, timings, favourites and templates. Pricing is on the pricing page. An OBG unit attached to a nursing home with beds, a labour room and in-patient billing is not what Vitels is built for; the OPD counter of that unit may be, and the list below says where the line is.
An OBG outpatient day, mapped to Vitels
Every card describes something live in the product today. Read the list further down before you decide; it says plainly what Vitels does not do for an OBG clinic.
Earlier visits beside the doctor
The consultation screen keeps a patient rail with allergies, existing conditions, the last visit and prescription, and every earlier visit. An antenatal patient on her seventh visit has the first six a click away.
Find her by phone or name
Reception searches before creating, by mobile number or name, so a patient who registered in her first trimester is never entered twice. Several patients can share one number, with a guardian recorded for anyone under 18.
One queue, walk-ins and bookings
Daily tokens with waiting, called, in consultation, done, skipped and stepped out. A patient who steps out for a test keeps her place. Priority and reorder are one action each at the desk.
Keyboard-first prescription pad
Drug search as you type, variant, frequency, duration and instructions in one line. Quantity is computed for counted forms. F2 adds a drug, F8 opens favourites, Ctrl+Enter saves and prints.
Templates and repeat for long courses
Each doctor builds multi-drug templates for the combinations they prescribe most. On a return visit, F4 copies the last prescription; the copy is editable and every version is kept.
Letterhead print, nothing else on it
A4 or A5 on your letterhead with logo, qualifications and registration number. No vendor branding, advert, QR code or pharmacy reference appears on a prescription a patient carries home.
Follow-up due list
Set the next visit with a chip or a date at the end of the consultation. Reports show who is due back, so the desk can call patients who have missed a scheduled visit.
Records stay inside your clinic
Per-clinic row-level isolation in the database. Vitels staff have no standing access to patient records, and the clinic admin can export the full data as CSV at any time.

Straight answers
Can the doctor see an antenatal patient's earlier visits during the consultation?
Yes. The consultation screen has a patient rail with allergies, existing conditions, the last visit and prescription, and every earlier visit, each one expandable. The full history is also available from the patient record and can be printed, for example when a patient is referred to the hospital where she will deliver.
Does Vitels calculate the expected date of delivery?
No. There is no LMP or EDD calculator and no gestational age shown on the screen. The doctor writes the dates and the expected date in the free-text complaint or diagnosis of the visit and on the patient's antenatal card, and set the next visit with the follow-up date so it appears on the due list.
Can I attach ultrasound or lab reports to a visit?
Not at present. Vitels does not store images or report files. Findings from a scan or a test are typed into the free-text complaint or diagnosis of the visit, and the printed report stays with the patient's paper file or with the patient.
How do long courses of iron and calcium work on the pad?
Each doctor builds templates for the combinations they prescribe most, with frequency, duration and instructions already filled. On a return visit, F4 copies the last prescription and the copy is editable before printing. Quantity is computed for counted forms such as tablets and capsules. Vitels does not suggest medicines or check doses.
Who can see my patients' records?
Only the people you add to your clinic. Records are isolated per clinic at the database row level, and Vitels staff have no standing access to them. The clinic admin can export all clinic data as CSV at any time. Details are on the security page.
We have an OBG nursing home with beds. Will Vitels work for us?
Only for the outpatient counter. Vitels has no in-patient module, delivery register, bed management, labour room or discharge summary, and billing is one consultation amount per visit. If the OPD and the nursing home must share one system, Vitels is not the fit.
