Where a nursing home loses money
Small hospitals rarely lose money on big things. They lose it on small ones, every day. A bed-day nobody charged because the patient was shifted late at night. A deposit taken in cash and never adjusted against the final bill. A lab test sent out and written on a slip that never reached billing. A TPA file that came back rejected because one document was missing.
On paper, or on three disconnected programs, nobody sees these gaps until the month's collections do not match the register. By then the patient has gone home and the money is gone with them.
Nursing home management software closes those gaps by putting the admission, the ward record and the bill on one patient record. Charges are added where the care happens, deposits sit against the admission, and the final invoice is built from what was actually done.
One patient, door to discharge
This is how a typical admission runs in a small hospital on Tapti HMIS.
- 01OPD visit and tokenReception registers the patient, prints an OPD token and books them against the doctor. The consultation, prescription and lab orders go in during the visit.
- 02Admit into a bedIf the doctor admits, the same patient record becomes an IPD admission with a room category and bed. No second registration, no copying details.
- 03Collect the depositThe deposit is collected with a receipt and tracked against the running IPD bill, so nobody forgets it at discharge.
- 04Record the ward's careVitals, doctor visits, medication and specialty records go into the IPD file. Doctors and nurses can use a tablet on rounds.
- 05Room charges post themselvesEvery morning at 5:00 AM IST, the day's room and bed charge is added to every open admission, so no bed-day is missed.
- 06Discharge and final billThe discharge card prints in one step and the IPD invoice moves from pending to final, with the deposit already adjusted.
Built for the way nursing homes work
Everything below is part of the OPD + IPD package or the Full Suite. Nothing is a separate add-on.
Deliveries and maternity
Delivery records sit in the IPD file, with delivery types in the clinical masters and the paediatrician recorded with the surgical team.
IPD moduleMinor and major surgery
Book the OT against the procedure catalogue, record the surgical team and print the operation notes when the case closes.
Surgery & OT moduleDeposits and refunds
Deposits, refunds and every payment type, from cash and card to UPI and cheque, on the same bill.
Billing moduleGST-ready invoices
HSN codes for GST and invoice numbers that restart with the April to March financial year, so your CA can reconcile them.
Billing moduleTPA and cashless files
Pre-authorisation, cashless requests per admission, and submission, payment and rejection tracking for insurance patients.
Mediclaim & TPA moduleVisiting consultants
Shares for in-house and visiting doctors are calculated, finalised and marked paid, instead of worked out in a notebook.
Doctor Sharing module
The owner's view, every evening
Most nursing home owners check the day's numbers on a phone call with the accountant. Tapti HMIS puts them on an admin dashboard instead: today's admissions, appointments and collections, plus daily balance reports by user, doctor, date and payment type.
Because every role signs in with its own permissions, the owner can see who collected what and who changed what. Reception sees the front desk screens, nurses see the ward, and billing data stays with the people who should handle it. Every create, update and delete is kept in an audit trail.
That matters more in a small hospital than a big one. With fewer staff, each person does more, and one honest view of the money protects everyone.
What to check before you buy
Ask every vendor these questions during the demo, including us. A small hospital cannot afford software that only fits big ones.
- Is there a price for my bed count?Tapti publishes starting prices for hospitals up to 15 beds. Above that, ask for a written quote built on your beds and modules.
- Can OPD and IPD share one patient record?Admission should start from the OPD visit, not a second registration.
- Do room charges post automatically?Manual bed-day entry is where small hospitals leak the most money.
- Are deposits tied to the admission?Deposits should show on the running bill and adjust at discharge without anyone remembering.
- Can I add lab, pharmacy or OT later?Start with what you run today. Tapti adds modules on the same record as you grow.
- Who trains my staff, and where?Tapti's Surat team does on-site implementation and role-based training anywhere in India.

Common questions
What is nursing home management software?
Software that runs a small private hospital's OPD, admissions, ward records, billing and insurance on one patient record. In India a nursing home usually means a 5 to 30 bed hospital, and Tapti HMIS is built for exactly that size, up to large hospitals of 400+ beds.
How much does nursing home software cost?
Tapti's OPD + IPD package starts at ₹12,000 a year and the Full Suite at ₹15,000 a year, for hospitals up to 15 beds, GST extra. Above 15 beds, we build a quote around your bed count and modules.
Does it handle deliveries in a maternity nursing home?
Yes. Delivery records sit in the IPD file, delivery types are in the clinical masters, and the paediatrician is recorded with the surgical team.
Can we start small and add modules later?
Yes. Start with OPD + IPD and switch on lab, surgery, mediclaim or pharmacy later, on the same patient record.
Is it ABDM integrated?
Yes. Tapti HMIS is officially ABDM-integrated for milestones M1, M2 and M3, listed by the National Health Authority as an ABDM integration partner (integration completed 18 Sep 2026). ABDM integration is an optional paid add-on, charged separately on any package, because not every hospital needs it.
How long does setup take?
Most hospitals are live within 2 to 4 weeks for OPD-only and 4 to 8 weeks for the Full Suite, depending on data migration and training.
