Get a project estimateHospitals are many businesses under one roof
A hospital runs outpatient clinics, inpatient wards, operating theatres, a lab, a pharmacy and a billing office that deals with cash patients, insurers, TPAs and government schemes. Each department often has its own system, and data moves between them on paper.
We build hospital software in modules that can replace or integrate with what you have: registration and OPD, admission and bed management, billing and claims, lab and pharmacy, and patient-facing apps. ABDM integration lets records link to a patient's ABHA, with consent.
Challenges
Common hospital system problems
Disconnected departments
Lab, pharmacy and billing systems do not share patient context.
Discharge delays
Final bills, summaries and insurer approvals hold up bed turnover.
Claims friction
TPA pre-authorisations and claim documents are prepared manually.
Patient communication
Appointments, reports and bills reach patients only by phone or in person.
Solutions
Software we recommend for hospitals

ABDM integration
ABHA linking and consent-based record sharing within ABDM.
How it works
How a patient moves from registration to discharge
Each department works in its own module, while the patient's record and bill follow them through the hospital.
- Front desk
Step 1: Registration and OPD visit
The patient is registered once, optionally linked to their ABHA, and given a place in the OPD queue.
- Doctor
Step 2: Doctor orders tests
Lab and radiology orders go straight to the LIS and imaging, and results come back to the same record.
- Admissions desk
Step 3: Admission and bed allocation
Live bed status by ward shows where the patient can go, and TPA pre-authorisation starts in parallel.
- Nursing and pharmacy
Step 4: Care on the ward
Ward indents, medicines and consumables are charged to the patient's account as they are used, not reconstructed at discharge.
- Billing office
Step 5: Discharge and final bill
The discharge summary and the package or itemised bill are prepared together, and the claim goes to the insurer with its documents.
- Patient app
Step 6: Reports and follow-up on the phone
Reports, bills and the follow-up appointment reach the patient without another trip to the counter.

Plain-English glossary
Hospital system terms, in plain English
- OPD and IPD
- The outpatient department (patients seen and sent home) and the inpatient department (admitted patients). Their workflows and billing differ, which is why hospital software treats them as separate modules.
- TPA (third-party administrator)
- The company that processes health insurance claims for insurers. Hospitals send it pre-authorisation requests and claim documents, so tracking both in the billing module shortens the wait at discharge.
- LIS and PACS
- The laboratory information system that manages test orders and results, and the picture archiving and communication system that stores scans and X-rays. Connecting both puts results next to the patient record.
- ABHA
- The Ayushman Bharat Health Account number a patient can create under ABDM. Linking it lets the patient share your hospital's records with other providers, with their consent.
Product preview
Screens across admissions, billing and the patient app
Bed management. Admissions and nursing staff see live bed status by ward, including beds waiting on discharge or cleaning, so new admissions are not held at the desk. 
Billing and TPA desk. The billing team tracks every pre-authorisation and claim with its documents and queries in one place, which shortens the wait at discharge. 
Patient app. Patients receive reports, bills and follow-up appointments on their phone, instead of calling the hospital or collecting paper at the counter.

Cost drivers
What drives hospital software cost
Modules in scope
Each department module adds workflows, roles and staff training.
Legacy data and integrations
Migrating records and connecting analysers or PACS adds significant effort.
Deployment model
On-premise servers, cloud hosting or hybrid setups change infrastructure and support needs.
Estimates are written from your scope, with the effort and assumptions behind each line item.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do we have to replace our entire HMS at once?
No, and we usually advise against it. Hospitals can modernise module by module: for example, a patient app and online appointments first, then billing and claims, then inpatient workflows, while the existing HMS keeps running. Integration layers keep data consistent during the transition. A phased plan reduces risk to clinical operations and spreads cost over time.
What does ABDM integration involve for a hospital?
It lets your hospital act as a health information provider, and if needed a user, so patient records can be linked to their ABHA and shared with consent. Technically it involves registering the facility, implementing ABDM's APIs and FHIR-based record formats, testing in the ABDM sandbox and completing the required approval before going live. Timelines depend on your existing systems and data quality.
Can the system run on-premise for data control?
Yes. Some hospitals prefer servers on their own premises for control or connectivity reasons, while others choose cloud hosting in Indian regions with managed backups. We containerise the application so it can run either way. On-premise setups need a plan for backups, updates, power and hardware failures, which we document and can support under a maintenance agreement.
