- Patient Consent Forms: MyOPD now allows Doctors to create Patient consent forms using Microsoft Word. You can design your own forms and import them as templates into MyOPD. Once you create the form, the name of selected patient, Date of birth and other details will get automatically replaced in it. It can then be printed so that you can take a signature of the patient and scan it and attach it to the patient's visit.
Here is how this works:- Creation of Consent Form Template:
- This feature is available under Settings -> Document Templates. You will see the tags that MyOPD Recognizes in the Word document.
- Create a consent form in Microsoft Word using these tags as place holders. So use #PATIENT_NAME where you want the name of the patient to come in the document or #PATIENT_GENDER where you want the Gender to reflect or #ADDRESS where you want the address of patient to be printed.
- A complete list of tags to be used is available in MyOPD.
- Once this document is ready, import the template of document under Settings -> Document Templates using Add New

- On Demand Online Backup: As of now, the online cloud backup of MyOPD happens every 24 hours.

Here is how to make it work:

- On clicking this option, the software will start to backup your data.
- Tap the Refresh link at the bottom left corner to know the status of the backup. Once the backup is done, the Online backup message will indicate the same.
- This feature will be mostly used by MyOPD Support staff while assisting you with changing computer or helping you before formatting the computer etc.
