For front desk and reception

Check in, check out, and stop playing phone tag.

The front desk sets the tone for every visit. OpenVPM connects scheduling, check-in, itemized billing, and communication history for a guided clinic pilot.

Workspace access is immediate. Live clinic use starts as a guided pilot alongside the current PIMS. See current fit and rollout limits.

Built for the way you work.

The friction you know, and how an open, connected PIMS clears it.

01

The schedule is always changing

A multi-doctor schedule lets staff edit appointments, validate doctor and room conflicts, and update check-in status.

02

Checkout is slow

Itemized invoices can start from supported care workflows, then staff review charges and record the payment.

03

The phone never stops

Configured reminders, portal requests, and approved two-way texting can reduce selected calls after communication setup is complete.

Common questions

How does check-in work?

The connected schedule lets staff check patients in and update visit status while keeping doctor and room assignments visible.

Is checkout faster?

Supported workflows can add invoice line items, but staff still review the invoice and record payment. Online client card payment requires Stripe Connect setup; card-present terminals are not integrated.

Can reminders cut down phone calls?

Configured email and, after activation, SMS can deliver reviewed appointment reminders and vaccination recalls. Hosted texting is not enabled by default.
