Solution

Built

A video consultation that ends as an ordinary, signed visit.

Booked like any appointment, checked in under your own fee rules, with the consent and identity check the Telemedicine Practice Guidelines ask for, and a signed prescription in the patient app.

All solutions

Telemedicine software lets a doctor consult remotely and produce the same clinical and financial record as an in-person visit. In India it is governed by the Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020, which set out how consent and identity are established, what may be prescribed remotely and what must be documented.

What is built

A video consultation is an appointment with the video mode and an OPD visit like any other, so the queue, the fee, the bill and the record all follow the rules your hospital already has.

  • Video consultations booked at the desk, or asked for online by the patient and approved by your staff
  • Start video consultation checks the patient in through the ordinary check-in and opens the consultation
  • The patient’s consent recorded: by asking online, on screen in the patient app, or by the doctor on the call
  • How the doctor confirmed the patient’s identity recorded, and the note cannot be signed without it
  • Schedule X and narcotic medicines from your medicine master refused on a video prescription at signing
  • The fee paid online before the call, where your hospital collects it first
  • The signed prescription in the patient app, printed as a consultation by video under the guidelines

What is still to come

Each of these is recorded as its own piece of work.

  • A video server in India run for your hospital(planned)
  • A waiting room the doctor admits patients from(planned)
  • Recording a consultation(planned)
  • Screen sharing and chat inside Nirogix(planned)

How it runs

  1. 01

    Book

    The desk books a video appointment, or approves a patient’s online request for one.

  2. 02

    Pay

    Where your hospital collects the fee first, the patient pays in the patient app before joining.

  3. 03

    Consult

    The doctor starts the call, records consent and how identity was confirmed, and writes the consultation.

  4. 04

    Prescribe

    The prescription is signed with prohibited medicines refused, and appears in the patient app.

What this does not do

The call itself runs on a Jitsi Meet server and opens in a new browser tab; it is not inside Nirogix, and nothing about it is recorded. Until a server in India is set up for your hospital, calls run on the public Jitsi Meet service. A medicine typed as free text carries no schedule, so the prohibited-medicine check applies only to medicines chosen from your master, and the rest stays the doctor’s responsibility as the guidelines say.

Questions we are asked

Can we do video consultations on Nirogix today?

Yes. The doctor starts the call from the appointment, the patient joins from the patient app, and the consultation is recorded and signed like any other visit.

Is the call recorded or stored?

No. The call runs on Jitsi Meet in a separate tab and nothing about it is recorded. What is kept is the consultation record: consent, the identity check, who joined and when, and the signed note.

Which guidelines does it follow?

The Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020: consent, the identity check and the prohibited-medicine list are recorded or enforced in the product rather than left to a policy document.
