Goodx Software

For medical practices in South Africa, GoodX Software provides web-based practice management software. Practitioners use the system for billing, diaries and patient records, reaching them wherever they have a connection. The company says it has been operating since 1985, and that more than 3,000 South African medical practices use its software.

Practice management software for medical practices

Billing and medical aid claims

Billing covers fast patient registration and invoices, with claims to medical aid schemes filed in real time. The company describes its billing as simple to use, and says it handles large volumes of invoices each day for practices and billing bureaus.

Electronic medical records

GoodX offers electronic medical records with clinical templates that a practice can customise to its own type of work, workflow and preferences. Clinical notes are integrated with the record, and a paperless document manager keeps the practice free of paper files. The company says electronic records reduce medication errors and unnecessary pathology tests.

Scheduling

Each user has a customisable diary with their own booking statuses, display modes, colours and visibility. A task list is linked to the diary, so that follow-up work sits alongside appointments.

Online bookings for patients

The MyGrandCentral portal lets patients register, book appointments and use self-service features online. The company says this removes work from the front desk. Patients can register through a link or at a kiosk in the practice.

Scripting, pathology and prescriptions

The software supports electronic prescriptions and electronic pathology test requests, which the company lists as part of its clinical workflow.

Remote access and security

The system is delivered as a cloud service. Practices store their data remotely and reach it from any device, anywhere, and the company says the storage is safe and secure.

Who uses it

Small clinics, multi-specialty groups and medical centres are its customers. Billing bureaus also use it. The company offers a demonstration to practices that want to see the software before they decide, and it describes its support as available to practitioners as their needs arise.
