OUTPATIENT DEPARTMENT
With TechMediz Hospital Management Software, the entire OPD workflow is streamlined and efficiently managed, enhancing both patient experience and administrative control
In an OPD setting, patients typically don’t require long-term hospitalization and can return home on the same day after their appointment or procedure. OPDs are designed to handle a variety of cases that don’t need continuous or intensive care.
An OutPatient Department (OPD) in a healthcare setting is a facility within a hospital or medical center where patients receive diagnosis, treatment, and care without being admitted to the hospital for an overnight stay. It is designed to provide medical services to patients who do not require 24-hour monitoring or hospitalization.
