Doctor: your first day

What you'll do as a doctor in Usystems

As a doctor (or clinician), your primary role is to see patients, document their medical history and findings, diagnose, and prescribe treatment. Usystems is designed to let you focus on patient care while the system handles scheduling, records, and coordination with pharmacists, lab technicians, and billing.

On your first day, you'll log in and see a clinic-centric dashboard tailored to your role. Your main workflow centers around queues (patient waiting lists), medical cases (patient visits and conditions), and documentation (history, exams, diagnoses, prescriptions). You don't manage inventory or payments — that's for admins and other specialists — but you do have read access to important patient data like past diagnoses, allergies, and test results.

Why Usystems matters for clinicians

Keeping accurate, organized records saves lives. Usystems ensures that:

• Every patient visit is documented in one place (no lost notes).
• Your prescriptions are automatically sent to pharmacy, so no handoffs are missed.
• Lab orders are tracked from request to result, so you see test outcomes as soon as they arrive.
• Patient history is always available — past diagnoses, allergies, and medications are visible at a glance.
• Coordination is seamless — pharmacists and lab technicians see exactly what you've ordered.

How Usystems works for you

Your daily workflow in Usystems follows three main flows:

1. Check-in and queuing

Patients arrive and check into a queue (waiting list). As a doctor, you see the queue on your dashboard. You select a patient from the queue, and a new medical case is created for that visit.

2. Examine and document

Once you have a patient in front of you, you:

• View their past medical history (old visits, diagnoses, allergies).
• Record findings from today's exam (vitals, symptoms, exam notes).
• Order tests (lab or imaging) if needed.
• Prescribe medications (pharmacy receives them automatically).
• Add diagnoses (ICD codes, chief complaint).

3. Close and hand off

When the visit is done, you close the case. The system automatically routes:

• Prescriptions → pharmacy for dispensing.
• Lab orders → lab technicians for processing.
• Patient info → billing (if applicable).

Where to find what you need

Your dashboard
When you log in, you see your queue(s) — the list of patients waiting to be seen. This is your starting point every day.

Medical cases
A "medical case" is a patient visit. You create one by selecting a patient from your queue. Inside a case, you document everything: history, exam, diagnosis, orders.

Patients
A full list of all patients in your clinic, with their contact info and past case history. You can search for a patient here if they're not in your current queue.

Lab results and imaging
Once you've ordered a test, you check back here to see results as they arrive. Lab technicians upload results, and you're notified.

What you won't do (and why)

• Manage inventory or stock medicine — pharmacy handles this.
• Process payments or billing — admin and billing staff handle this.
• Create or manage staff accounts — admin does user management.

This separation keeps your focus on patients, not paperwork.

Tips for your first day

• Ask your clinic admin to show you your queue. Make sure you know which queues are assigned to you.
• Ask a colleague to walk you through one patient visit. It only takes 5 minutes and will make everything click.
• Bookmark the medical cases page — you'll visit it dozens of times a day.
• Don't worry about the billing section — you don't need to understand it.
