Running Multiple Clinic Branches: How Clinit Handles Multi-Location Management

The Multi-Branch Complexity Jump

A single-branch clinic has one set of doctors, one schedule, one billing ledger, and one patient list. Two branches means you now have to answer: Can a patient from Branch A book at Branch B? Can a doctor work across branches? Can the owner see consolidated financials? Most clinic software treats each branch as a separate subscription with no data sharing. This forces double-entry, prevents patient movement between locations, and makes comparative analytics impossible.

Clinit's Multi-Branch Architecture

Unified Patient Record: A patient registered at Branch A automatically exists in Branch B. Their medical history, prescriptions, and billing records are accessible to authorised staff at any branch. Per-Branch Schedules: Each branch has its own schedule, opening hours, appointment types, and room/equipment configuration. A doctor working across branches has separate schedules per branch, both visible in one calendar view. Cross-Branch Booking: When a patient calls Branch A but Branch B has earlier availability, the receptionist can book Branch B without creating a duplicate record. The booking links to the same patient profile. Consolidated Financials: The owner dashboard shows revenue, collections, and outstanding balances either consolidated (all branches total) or per-branch. Doctor performance is tracked per branch and in aggregate. Branch-Level Access Control: Staff at Branch A cannot see Branch B's records unless explicitly granted multi-branch access. This maintains confidentiality in competitive scenarios (e.g., two branches in competing geographic markets) while allowing shared infrastructure.

How to Set Up a Second Branch

Clinic Settings → Branches → Add Branch. Assign a slug, address, phone number, and the doctors who work there. Existing patients and records are immediately available. Setup takes under 10 minutes.
