Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about setting up EliteHMS in your pharmacy, clinic, or hospital.

Is EliteHMS suitable for a small pharmacy in Pakistan?

Yes. The Pharmacy Basic plan (₨1,999/month) covers medicine inventory, billing with barcode scanning, patient records, purchase orders, expiry alerts, and WhatsApp reminders. It is designed specifically for single-location pharmacies and medical stores in Pakistan.

Does EliteHMS support JazzCash and EasyPaisa payments?

Yes. The billing module accepts Cash, JazzCash, EasyPaisa, Bank Transfer, Insurance Panel, and Credit. Each payment method is tracked separately in reports and payment method analysis.

What is DRAP compliance and does EliteHMS support it?

DRAP is the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan. EliteHMS provides a controlled medicines register (Form-10 equivalent), batch tracking from purchase to patient, expiry destruction records with pharmacist signature, and a one-click compliance PDF for inspector visits. This is available on the Hospital Pro plan.

Can patients book appointments online without calling the clinic?

Yes. Each clinic gets a public booking page (elitehms.online/book/your-clinic). Patients choose doctor, date, and available time slot — no login required. The clinic receives a real-time Socket.io notification for every new booking. Available on Clinic plan and above.

How does the AI Diagnosis Assistant work?

Doctors enter patient age, gender, symptoms (per body system), vital signs, and lab results. Gemini 1.5 Flash and Groq Llama-3.1 process the case and return ranked differential diagnoses with probability scores, red flags, recommended investigations with PKR cost ranges, treatment protocols, and Pakistan-specific clinical notes. All sessions are saved and searchable.

Is patient data secure in EliteHMS?

Yes. EliteHMS uses JWT access tokens (15-minute expiry), httpOnly refresh token cookies (30 days), optional Google Authenticator 2FA with recovery codes, and a maximum of 5 active sessions per user. All passwords are bcrypt hashed. Admin can remotely logout all sessions for any staff member instantly.

Can I export reports for FBR and my accountant?

Yes. The Advanced Accounting module generates a P&L statement, medicine margin analysis, expense register, and FBR GST summary (output tax minus input tax). All can be exported as Excel files compatible with the FBR IRIS portal. Available on Pharmacy Pro plan and above.

Does the IPD module support medication administration records (MAR)?

Yes. Once a doctor creates medicine orders for an admitted patient, the system auto-calculates administration times (e.g. Twice daily → 08:00 and 20:00). Nurses record each dose as Given, Skipped (with reason), or Refused (with reason). Each action logs the nurse's name and exact timestamp.

How does the OPD TV display work?

EliteHMS includes a full-screen public page (/opd-display/:storeId) that shows the current token and next 3 in queue. It requires no login and can run on any laptop connected to a TV via HDMI. Voice announcements (Web Speech API) call out token numbers and doctor names — no additional hardware or speaker system needed.

What blood groups does the blood bank module support?

All 8 standard blood groups: A+, A−, B+, B−, O+, O−, AB+, AB−. Each group's stock is tracked separately. When any group falls below 2 units, a critical alert fires to all logged-in staff immediately via Socket.io.

Does EliteHMS work on mobile phones?
