Patient records for clinics: one file for each patient
In Curogrid every patient has one file, the clinic's electronic medical record for that person. Allergies, long-term conditions and current medicines are at the top. Below them are the visits, prescriptions, tests and scans, appointments, bills, readings, files and consent forms, each on its own tab.
What does a patient's file hold in Curogrid?
- Allergies cannot be missed
- “Allergic to”, “Conditions” and “Takes” sit in a marked panel above everything else in the file. It is the first thing on the screen every time the file opens.
- Last visit, next visit, still to pay
- Three boxes under the patient's name answer the three questions asked at the desk: when did they last come, when are they due, and do they owe anything.
- A first card that follows your speciality
- A family doctor sees blood pressure over the last five visits. A paediatrician sees the child's weight. A diabetes clinic sees HbA1c. A physiotherapist sees the course of sessions.
- Nine tabs, one patient
- Overview, Visits, Prescriptions, Tests and scans, Appointments, Bills, Readings, Files and Consents. Nothing about the patient lives in a second place.
- Act from the file
- Give a token, book a visit or start a bill from the top of the file. The patient's number can be copied, or opened in WhatsApp, in one tap.
The same thing on the phone app.

Questions about patient files
Yes. Each patient gets a number in your clinic's own series, shown beside their name and on their bills. You can search by it, by name or by mobile number.
Yes. The Files tab holds documents and photographs. Storage is 150 GB on the Plus plan and 200 GB on Pro.
Yes. Diagnoses are searched from an ICD-10 list by name or by code, with the everyday word shown where it differs, for example “Chloasma [melasma]”.
Yes. When a medicine on the prescription matches something the patient is recorded as allergic to, the doctor's screen shows a red line that says “Check before giving”. It is a reminder to check, and it does not block the prescription.
