Looking at MocDoc
Clinidiary, if you are weighing it against MocDoc
A fair account of what MocDoc is good at, and then what we do differently — in detail, and only things that exist today. No feature table with our column pre-ticked; you can get that anywhere and it is worth nothing.
What MocDoc is good at
An honest description
MocDoc, from Yro Systems Private Limited in Chennai, describes itself as a "cloud-based, fully integrated, secure, and reliable healthcare management suite". It sells a hospital management system, a clinic management system, a laboratory system and a pharmacy system, with dedicated editions for dental, ophthalmology and fertility practices. The clinic product is aimed at single-specialty clinics, polyclinics and medical centres across many specialties, from general medicine, cardiology and orthopaedics to ayurveda, naturopathy and homeopathy. Its site emphasises appointment views with SMS, WhatsApp and email notifications, patient check-in, specialty case-sheet templates, prescriptions, three billing workflows, a large library of reports with an end-of-day email, multi-location management, NABH certification and ABDM integration.
Who tends to compare the two
A clinic comparing the two is usually a polyclinic or small hospital with a physiotherapy department, where MocDoc is being considered for the whole building and someone asks whether the physio unit would be better served by a system built for its own workflow. MocDoc's positioning is an integrated suite across departments, labs and pharmacy; Clinidiary's is a single-discipline record at no cost. The choice usually depends on whether physiotherapy bills and reports separately.
We do not run MocDoc, so we will not tell you what it cannot do — the people who can answer that are MocDoc and the clinic down the road who uses it. Everything below is only about us.
What Clinidiary does differently
Built for a clinic, not a hospital
A single-discipline practice is not a small hospital, and software written for wards tends to make a physiotherapy clinic pay for complexity it will never use. Clinidiary is shaped around the clinic day — the diary, the treatment room and the money — with the parts a small practice actually touches put where a busy person can reach them.
A paid invoice never quietly changes
Once money has been taken against an invoice, the total stops moving. A correction becomes a credit note plus a replacement, and the original keeps its number and its date. It is less convenient than an edit box, and it is the only version an accountant, an auditor or a funder can actually rely on.
Free, and no card
The whole workspace, not a crippled tier, and no card. Refer a colleague and you earn points every time one joins, with no limit — they sit on your account and do not expire. No lock-in contract and no exit fee.
Your records leave in one click
Full CSV export of patients, appointments, notes and invoices, whenever you want, without asking us and without a fee. Every export is recorded in the audit log. We would rather show you the exit before you sign up than have you discover it does not exist two years in.
Moving your patients across
You can do it yourself
Export your patient list from MocDoc as a CSV and load it in Settings → Bring your data. The columns are read from the file's own headings, so you do not have to tell us what shape the export is in or rename anything first.
Nothing is written until you have seen it
The first pass only reads: it shows which columns were recognised, how many patients would be created, and who would be skipped because they are already here. You decide after seeing that, rather than before.
A date it cannot read, it refuses to guess
03/04/1980 is March in one country and April in another. Rather than pick, the import leaves that date blank and tells you the line number. A wrong date of birth decides concession eligibility and which of two same-named patients you have open.
Run both for a fortnight
We would rather you kept MocDoc running alongside for the first couple of weeks than trusted a migration on anybody's word, including ours. See what moving involves.
Questions worth asking any vendor
How do I get my data out?
Ask before you sign up, not after. Ours is a CSV export of patients, appointments, notes and invoices, available to you without asking us and without a fee. If the answer involves a support ticket or a quote, that is the answer.
What happens to a note if my internet drops?
In Clinidiary it keeps saving locally and recovers when you come back. It is a dull question until the day it is the only question, which is usually the day somebody loses a consultation.
Can a paid invoice be edited?
Ours cannot. A correction is a credit note plus a replacement, and the original keeps its number and date. Convenient editing of paid invoices is a problem waiting for an audit.
Who is actually building it?
Two people, in a clinic that sees patients. That is a real limitation — we are smaller than everything else on this page — and it is also why the person who fixes a bug is the person who hit it.
