Who uses it

Doctors, during a consultation

Needs first

Rx templates, services catalogue, inventory, print templates

Focus Mode is where the consultation actually happens. It replaces the whole interface with a single screen holding the patient's history on one side, the note being written in the middle, and everything the doctor can order on the other — so a visit is completed without navigating anywhere. You enter it from an appointment record and leave it with End Consultation.

The context rail — what the doctor needs to know

Read-only context, assembled so nothing has to be looked up mid-consultation.

• Case — which episode this session belongs to, with New Case and a link to the case details.
• Alerts — allergies, shown as red chips. The first thing on the rail, deliberately.
• Chief complaint — carried through from the booking.
• Active conditions — each with its type, General or Episode.
• Last vitals — dated, with BP in mmHg, HR in bpm, temperature in °C, SpO₂ as a percentage and weight in kg.
• Active medications, recent labs (with a normal / abnormal badge and the result summary) and recent imaging (with findings and status).

The centre — writing the note

1. 1Enter vitals in the strip along the top: BP, HR, Temp, SpO2, Weight. They save with the note.
2. 2Either type the SOAP note directly into the four fields, or dictate it.
3. 3To dictate: choose the language beside Record Voice Note — Arabic is supported — record the consultation, then click Extract SOAP from Voice. Clinicon drafts the Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan from the recording.
4. 4Always read back what was extracted and correct it before saving. The recording stays attached to the appointment as evidence.
5. 5Add photographs or scans under Visit Media.
6. 6Click Save Notes.

Session orders

Six tiles. Anything raised here is attached to this visit and appears in the patient's record and on the invoice.

Prescribe

Requires a diagnosis. Then either pick from Templates — filtered All / Adult / Peds — or switch to Manual and write the medication out. Templates come from Settings → Rx Templates; if the panel says no templates were found, that is where to add them.

Lab

Set the priority — Routine, Urgent or Stat — then click the panels you want. Twenty-four are built in: CBC, CMP, BMP, HbA1c, Lipids, TSH, FT4, LFT, KFT, U/A, C&S, ESR, CRP, Creatinine, Uric Acid, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Iron, PT/INR, RBG, FBG, Hep B, Hep C and β-hCG. Panels that need fasting are marked. Anything not listed goes in Custom test. Fasting instructions are set with the chips: No fasting, Fast 8h, Fast 12h.

Imaging

Choose a modality — X-Ray, CT Scan, MRI, Ultrasound, Mammography or PET Scan — then the body part, laterality (N/A, Left, Right, Bilateral), priority and a clinical indication. Click Add to Session.

Certificate

Generates a printable document: Sick Leave, Fit for Work or Medical Report. Set the start and end dates; the diagnosis is pre-filled from the Assessment field. The body wording and letterhead come from Settings → Print & Docs, so set those up before a doctor needs one. Generate & Print produces the document.

Orders

Products or outside services the patient is buying — spectacles, an orthotic, an outsourced test. Set Bill to (Patient, Doctor or Center) and Payment mode (Full, Installment or Flexible), add items, and the running total shows in the footer.

Resources

Consumables used during the visit, drawn from Inventory. Recording them here is what keeps stock counts honest — a syringe used and not recorded is a syringe you will reorder too late.
