Chronic disease patients need more than a prescription pad. Clinit's general medicine module tracks HbA1c trends, blood pressure logs, and NICE-aligned management protocols for the five most common chronic diseases.
The Volume Problem in General Medicine
A busy general practice in Cairo sees 40–60 patients per day. A significant proportion have one or more chronic diseases requiring consistent review: DM2, HTN, asthma, COPD, or CKD. The clinical challenge is maintaining quality of care at volume — ensuring every diabetic patient gets their HbA1c reviewed, every asthmatic gets their inhaler technique checked, every hypertensive has a documented cardiovascular risk score.
Clinit's Chronic Disease Module
Each chronic disease registered for a patient activates a disease-specific management tracker:
Diabetes Mellitus
- HbA1c trend chart (with target line at <7% or patient-specific target)
- Fasting and random glucose logs
- Last eye exam, foot exam, and nephropathy screen — with overdue alerts
- Medications with dose and monitoring notes
- AI coaching: NICE NG28 / WHO DM management framework
Hypertension
- BP log with trend chart (office and home readings separately)
- Cardiovascular risk score (SCORE2 pulled from the cardiology module if present)
- Medications: RAAS, CCB, thiazide — current dose and target
- Renal function monitoring
Asthma
- GINA step (1–5) with treatment aligned to step
- Symptom control: GINA criteria (daytime symptoms, night awakening, rescue inhaler use, activity limitation)
- Spirometry record and trend
Medical Certificates
Seven certificate templates are pre-built: sick leave, fitness for work, fitness for sport, fitness for driving, medical report for insurance, school absence, and travel fitness. Each is auto-numbered (CERT-YYYY-NNNN), print-ready, and stored against the patient record.
