What is ThePractitioner
ThePractitioner has been developed for general business use, plus all health care professions
and is now used by General Practice, Chiropractic, Dentistry, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy,
Podiatry, Psychology, Sports Medicine and General Business sites. It can be readily adapted for
user-specific requirements, and to handle future developments in the I.T. industry.
The inclusion of goods handling and inventory control enables the running of a service provider
business and / or a goods oriented business, with combinations of both a possibility.
Banking features allow for any number or combination of both types of businesses.
Finances and Expenses tables provide added flexibility with book keeping, and the automation of
Wages provides for a fully integrated package. A multi-user appointment system is incorporated.
The appointment system and most other functions can be optionally selected when registering the package,
and you may also turn features on / off as your needs change or dictate.
The relational functions allow you to quickly and directly create or update records in any associated
files as you work, providing a continuous and optimum work-flow to speed up data entry and analysis.
When adding consultations to an account, for example, only appropriate consultations are presented to
you in a quick pop-up menu. Consultations may also be accounted automatically with a single button
press, or collected together for you into a destination account, and claims forms generation is
automatic. Artificial intelligence is used to recall appropriate past data.
Based on client / server architecture, it can operate as a small single-user system through to
multi-user and multi- practice sites. Full extensibility, remote access plus connectivity to the
world of mini-computer and mainframe database systems provides an unlimited growth path for future
requirements.
ThePractitioner Design Concept
The advantage of ThePractitioner package is that it is based on a very powerful analytic
database engine which can provide a full and complete investigation of all your clinical and
business activities. It also enables rapid modifications and report generation. The reporting
functions that you can trial are a sample of what is possible. The user has access to full report
generation and label creation tools. Communications via e-mail, and SMS is supported and it is also
possible to access the package remotely and get your printouts and reports locally, without the need
of a server based system.
Other advantages include full extensibility to additional word-processing, spreadsheet, charting and
drawing modules, as well as Oracle, SQL Server and DAL connectivity for minicomputer and mainframe
environments.
In Conclusion
While this package is a completed production system, like any program, it may not fully meet your
needs. The advantage of this implementation is that it can be readily modified and enhanced to
accommodate new features. Often, an adjustment can be accomplished quite easily and this would
be provided as a matter of course, and many reports and forms are subject to customization for
the end user. Major changes to the system would also be considered in the light of stability to
existing users, and these would be subject to regular negotiation and charging.
