About dermatology

Dermatology covers the skin, hair and nails: fungal infections, eczema, acne, psoriasis, pigmentation and hair loss, with procedures and cosmetic work alongside medical care. Volume is high, progress is visual, and treatment courses run for months.

What makes this specialty hard to run

The operational problems a system has to answer, before any feature list.

  1. 01

    Volume is high and consultations are short, so anything that adds thirty seconds to a note costs an hour a day.

  2. 02

    Progress is visual. A description of a lesion is a poor substitute for what it looked like six weeks ago.

  3. 03

    Treatment courses run over months, and the same patient returns for something unrelated in between.

  4. 04

    Procedures and cosmetic work are priced quite differently from a medical consultation, on the same appointment book.

How Nirogix supports dermatology

Grouped the way the day runs. Every line says whether it is in the product today or planned.

Available todayPlanned, not available yet

Clinical pathways are reference content your clinical team reviews and edits as its own; nothing is ordered or prescribed until a doctor chooses it. Calculators inform a decision and do not write to the record. A line that needs a particular module names it.

The skin consultation

  • Fourteen dermatology pathways ready on day one: tinea, acne, scabies, urticaria, eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, melasma, alopecia areata and more
  • Your most-used complaints, findings and medicines one tap away, and the last plan reusable at the next visit
  • Dictation into any text step in Chrome or Edge
  • With the Dermatology module, lesion morphology, configuration and distribution by body area, and Fitzpatrick skin type
  • A body map(planned)

Photographs

  • Clinical photographs attached to the patient’s record and opened from it, archived with a reason rather than deleted
  • A photography and recording consent printed for signature, with the Clinical Support module
  • Photos tagged by body site, side-by-side comparison, and a sensitive-image flag(planned)

Procedures and pricing

  • Medical consultations and procedures priced apart: fees by consultation type, procedures from your services catalog
  • Incision and drainage and debridement recorded as procedures with consent
  • With the Dermatology module, a log of skin procedures, and phototherapy courses with each session’s dose and the cumulative dose as the unit records them
  • Biopsy tracking to histopathology(planned)

Courses of treatment

  • A treatment case for each course, so a returning patient’s acne or psoriasis course is the first thing on screen
  • Follow-up dates in one press, and reminders by SMS or WhatsApp through your own accounts
  • With the Dermatology module, a skin condition followed across visits, with reviews filed under it and the next review on a due list
  • PASI, EASI and SCORAD scores(planned)

Prescriptions

  • Topical and oral medicines from your formulary, with duration and instructions, printed on your letterhead
  • Recorded allergies shown above the medicines, and an exact match flagged

What changes for the practice

Seconds saved per patient

Pathways and your own frequent items make a routine skin consultation a matter of choosing.

The course in view

A returning patient opens on the treatment course they are on.

Cosmetic and medical, priced right

A procedure is priced from your catalog, never typed at the counter.

Photographs kept with consent

Images stay on the record, and the photography consent prints for signature.

The modules a practice like this turns on

Modules are entitlements: enable what you need now and add the rest when you are ready. Nothing is re-implemented per specialty.

What gets configured for you

Consultation fees by consultation typeProcedure prices in the services catalogFollow-up intervals for treatment courses

Most specialties differ in configuration rather than code: the same modules are enabled and set up differently. Where a specialty has a module of its own (twenty-three today, from Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Dentistry to Cardiology, Oncology and Nephrology), it is switched on per hospital. Where a specialty needs a capability the platform does not have yet, we say so during the demo rather than after you buy.

Questions we are asked

Can we store before-and-after photographs?

Photographs attach to the patient’s record and open from it. Tagging by body site and side-by-side comparison are planned.

Can cosmetic procedures be priced differently from consultations?

Yes. Consultation fees follow your fee schedule, and each procedure is priced from your services catalog on the same invoice.

Are PASI and EASI calculators included?

Not yet. With the Dermatology module, the clinician records the severity at each condition review; PASI, EASI and SCORAD and a body map are planned.

Is there a dermatology module?

Yes, switched on per hospital: a structured skin assessment, conditions followed across visits, procedures and phototherapy courses. Its forms are being reviewed by a dermatologist before customer use. A body map and site-tagged photographs are planned.
