I am planning the implementation of ClinicOffice v4, starter edition, for a client who’s a speech and language therapist working with small children – the child is the patient but the parents of course are the ones who get invoices.
The main reason to use ClinicOffice is to manage the diary and particularly to do invoicing. The client base is less than 100, so performance is not a big issue.
Some questions arising:
– is it best to have the Patient record set to the parent’s name, and add custom fields for the child’s name and other info? This seems quite easy and would mean the invoice has the right name on the top, and I assume I can include child’s name in the invoice. I’m using ‘Known As’ set to the child’s name for easy searching.
– this therapist is the sole practitioner in her clinic, and also does some home and school visits. Is there any value in defining an additional clinic for “Home/School Visits”? She does need to charge for travel costs by the mile, but that can be handled separately.
– is there an ODBC driver available for COv4 starter edition? I can see that the database schema is quite simple, and would only want this for simpler data export.
– I did some customisations within the sample database in the trial edition of the product back in Sep/Oct 2009 – I now find that opening a copy of that customized DB fails while it’s being automatically upgraded – error about a table being renamed that already exists (can provide screenshot)
Overall it’s a very nice product – I particularly like the ability to add custom fields in such a simple way!
