- A hospital runs many departments at once — front desk, wards, OT, pharmacy, lab, billing and accounts.
- Generic software can't connect OPD/IPD, EMR, TPA claims, pharmacy and lab into one record.
- A custom HIS models your departments, packages and workflows exactly as your hospital runs.
- Disconnected systems cause billing leakage and slow discharge — the pain patients feel most.
- Wizix builds a custom hospital ERP from ₹49,999, with AI for scheduling and occupancy on top.
Few businesses are as operationally complex as a hospital. At any moment you're registering OPD patients, admitting IPD cases, running the OT schedule, dispensing pharmacy, processing lab samples, and billing — often against insurance and TPAs. When these run on separate tools or registers, records fragment, billing leaks, and discharges crawl. Hospital management software (HIS) brings the whole hospital into one connected system, from registration to discharge.
Why generic software fails hospitals
A hospital isn't a shop with an inventory — it's a set of interlocking clinical and financial workflows:
- No unified patient record across OPD, IPD, pharmacy and lab
- No IPD billing with room, procedure, package and consumables
- No TPA / insurance claim workflow and pre-authorisation
- No doctor, OT and bed/ward scheduling
- No in-house pharmacy and lab integration to the patient bill
- No discharge summary and audit-ready records (ABDM/ABHA)
Consumables used in the ward, a lab test not posted to the bill, a TPA deduction nobody tracked — each leaks quietly. Across a busy IPD, unbilled items and claim shortfalls add up to a serious, invisible loss.
What hospital management software must do
1. Patient flow & records
- OPD registration, appointments and queue
- IPD admission, bed/ward and OT scheduling
- EMR / EHR — one patient record across departments
2. Billing & insurance
- OPD and IPD billing with packages, procedures and consumables
- TPA / insurance pre-auth, claims and deductions
- Advance, deposits and final settlement at discharge
3. Clinical support & compliance
- In-house pharmacy with stock, batch and expiry, posted to the bill
- Lab / diagnostics — sample, test and report linked to the patient
- Discharge summary and ABDM/ABHA-ready records
Why custom ERP beats off-the-shelf for hospitals
A multi-speciality hospital, a nursing home, an eye or dental clinic and a diagnostic centre all work differently — different packages, departments and billing rules. Off-the-shelf HIS forces one template on all of them. Wizix builds a custom system around your departments, packages and TPA workflows — so it fits your hospital, ward by ward.
As a custom-ERP and AI partner, Wizix can add AI on top — predicting appointment no-shows, forecasting bed occupancy, and flagging billing anomalies before they become revenue leakage.

Frequently asked questions
Does it handle IPD billing with packages and TPA?
Yes — IPD billing covers room, procedures, packages and consumables, with TPA/insurance pre-auth, claims and deductions handled in the same flow.
Is the pharmacy and lab connected to the patient bill?
Yes. In-house pharmacy (with batch/expiry) and lab tests post directly to the patient's bill, so nothing is missed.
Is it ABDM/ABHA ready?
Yes — records are maintained in an audit-ready, digital-health-compliant way for India's ABDM ecosystem.
