Clinical Tools is a doctor's toolkit for prescribing faster and coding accurately. It has two parts: Prescription Templates for the medication bundles you use again and again, and an ICD-10 Reference for looking up diagnosis codes.
Accessible by: Admin, Doctor
In the sidebar, click Clinical Tools (keyboard shortcut R).
The page is split into two sections — Prescription Templates on one side and the ICD-10 Reference on the other.
A template is a saved set of medicines — with dosage, frequency, and duration — for a condition you treat often (for example URTI Protocol, Fever Bundle, or Hypertension Starter). Building one once saves you from typing the same medicines on every visit.
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Medicine name | Paracetamol |
| Dosage | 500mg |
| Frequency | BD — Twice daily |
| Duration | 5 days |
A template needs a name and at least one medicine before it can be saved.
The frequency dropdown uses standard dosing shorthand:
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| OD | Once daily |
| BD | Twice daily |
| TDS | Three times daily |
| QID | Four times daily |
| SOS | As needed |
| HS | At bedtime |
| 1-0-0 | Morning only |
| 0-0-1 | Night only |
| 1-0-1 | Morning & night |
| 1-1-1 | Three times (morning, noon, night) |
Inside the consultation's prescription builder you'll see your saved templates. Click Apply on one and its medicines drop straight into the prescription — ready to adjust for the specific patient before you print. You can also save the current prescription as a new template from the same place, so you can build templates as you work without coming back to this page.
Templates are shared across the clinic, so every doctor can prescribe consistently for common conditions.
Look up standardised diagnosis codes by code (e.g. J06.9) or description (e.g. upper respiratory infection) — matching results appear as you type.
