OPES EMR

Electronic Medical Records for clinics and hospitals

Request a demonstration

Most EMRs fail in African clinics for the same reason: they were designed for a consultation with fifteen unhurried minutes and a fast connection. A doctor seeing sixty patients in a morning will abandon anything that adds clicks.

OPES EMR is built around consultation speed. Common actions are one or two interactions, the interface works on the hardware clinics actually own, and the record is complete enough to be useful to the next clinician who opens it.

Core platform. This is one of the four systems most facilities deploy first.

What OPES EMR does

Fast patient registration

New patients registered in seconds; returning patients found by name, phone or Health ID even when the spelling differs.

Consultation notes

Structured enough to be searchable and reportable, free enough that a clinician is not fighting the form during a consultation.

Prescriptions and orders

Prescriptions, lab requests and imaging orders raised from the consultation and visible to the pharmacy and laboratory immediately.

Complete patient history

Every previous visit, diagnosis, prescription and result in one timeline rather than scattered across paper files.

Genuinely bilingual

English and French at the interface and the document level, so a francophone clinician and an anglophone one work in the same record without translation loss.

Billing at the point of care

Charges raised as care is delivered, with Mobile Money settlement, so revenue is captured rather than reconstructed later.

Who it is for

Private clinics, health centres, polyclinics and small hospitals that want a real record system without the weight of a full hospital platform.

Common questions

How long does it take to train our staff?

Most clinical users are working unaided within a day. The interface follows the sequence of an actual consultation rather than an administrative form, so there is less to unlearn.

Can it work in a clinic with unreliable power and internet?

Yes. Critical functions cache locally and continue through an outage, reconciling when the connection returns. A power cut should not stop a consultation being recorded.

What if we later grow into a full hospital?

OPES EMR shares its data model with OPES Hospital HIS. Growing into wards, theatre and full inpatient management is an upgrade path, not a migration to a different vendor.

Can we keep our existing paper records?

Yes. Historic files can be entered progressively as patients return, so you are not forced into a mass data-entry exercise before going live.

Connected to the rest of the ecosystem

Every OPES system shares one patient identity through OPESCare, so a patient moving between departments or facilities keeps one record rather than accumulating several.
