Comparison
Paper never argues with you. It also never tells you anything.
A register and a prescription pad are fast and cheap until you need last month's visit, a follow-up list or a GST invoice. An honest look at the trade-off.
| paper registers | Clinicket | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed at the desk | Very fast for one entry. Nothing beats a pen for a single line in the register. | Comparable for a new patient, and faster for a returning one: search by name, phone or UHID and the record is already there. |
| Finding a past visit | Turn back through the register, if you know roughly when they came. | One record per patient, every consultation, prescription and bill in order. |
| Prescriptions | Handwritten, and only as legible as the doctor's handwriting. No copy kept. | Typed, printed for the patient or sent on WhatsApp, and saved to the visit. |
| Follow-ups | "Come back in a week", remembered by the patient or not at all. | Booked at the end of the consultation and listed for the front desk on the day. |
| Risk | Fire, water, a lost register. No copy. | Encrypted, backed up, access-logged. |
If the clinic is one doctor seeing familiar patients, paper genuinely works. The moment a second doctor has to read the first one's notes, or a patient asks for last year's prescription, it stops.
