Develop a Consultation-Focused Basic Billing System Module to CARE

[nihal467]

Project Detail

CARE is a centralized capacity management and patient management system, central to the 10BedICU Project, integrating patients, doctors, hospitals, labs, specialized treatment centers, hospital administrators, and shifting control cells. Hospitals update crucial information about their assets, providing district administration with a comprehensive view of the healthcare system via smart dashboards. CARE digitizes patient records, streamlines workflows for pandemic management, and is deployed in remote areas, enabling TeleICU services for underserved citizens. It revolutionizes healthcare management, enhancing efficiency, accessibility, and patient outcomes.

Features To Be Implemented

This Project outlines the creation of a new feature to support consultation-specific patient billing system tailored to support. This feature will constitute the first version of the billing system and is expected to cover the basic functionalities. The features expected to be achieved are outlined below:

• [ ] Integration with Patient Consultation: Ensure the system uses patient consultation-specific bill generation.
• [ ] Invoice Creation: Enable basic invoice creation for consultations (in-patient and outpatient), procedural services, diagnostics, room rent, doctor fees, Medicine etc. Support customisations in bill copies for insurance, hospital, payer, patient etc.
• [ ] Manual Entry Support: Allow manual adjustments or entries to accommodate exceptions or unique cases.
• [ ] Track payments: Allow invoices to be marked as eligible/ineligible for insurance claim, cash/card payment, payers details (individual payer, institutional payer etc) and status of payments.
• [ ] Reporting: Provide basic reporting capabilities for billing summaries and account receivables.
• [ ] Simple UI: Develop an intuitive UI for easy navigation and billing management.
• [ ] Audit: every change made to the invoices shall be audited and a trail of the audit must be accessible
