Panchakarma Software for All Five Shodhana Procedures
Track every patient from Poorvakarma preparation through Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana to Paschatkarma recovery — with therapist assignments, therapy room scheduling, and stage-by-stage clinical documentation in one system.
Why Panchakarma needs its own software
Standard clinic management software handles appointments and billing. Panchakarma requires something fundamentally different. A single Shodhana programme spans three distinct phases — Poorvakarma preparation with Snehana oleation and Swedana sudation, the Pradhanakarma procedure itself, and the Paschatkarma recovery period with Samsarjana Krama dietary protocols. Each phase involves different staff, different rooms, and different clinical documentation that must stay connected as the patient progresses.
In practice, clinics working with generic systems maintain parallel records: clinical notes in the software, therapist assignments on a whiteboard, therapy room bookings in a spreadsheet, and Paschatkarma diet instructions in a third document. None of these sync. When a Vaidya adjusts a patient's programme mid-course — pausing Virechana to address unexpected Pitta aggravation and substituting a Basti course instead — the changes have to be communicated manually across three separate systems, creating real risk of error and compliance gaps in NABIDH documentation.
MedicoPlus Ayur is built around the Panchakarma workflow from the ground up. Stage progression, therapist assignment, therapy room scheduling, and clinical documentation are a single integrated workflow where every change propagates correctly — across the treatment board, the pharmacy, and the NABIDH submission queue.
Poorvakarma: preparation that determines outcomes
Poorvakarma determines how effective the main procedure will be. Snehana and Swedana need to be administered in the right sequence, at the right intensity, for the right number of days before Pradhanakarma begins. MedicoPlus Ayur tracks each preparation session, records the patient's response, and signals the Vaidya when the preparation criteria are met. For clinics running multiple simultaneous programmes, the system resolves scheduling conflicts in Swedana chambers before they become clinical problems.
All five Pradhanakarma procedures
Each procedure has distinct workflow requirements. Vamana requires patient monitoring and immediate dietary intervention. Virechana needs precise timing and post-procedure assessment. Basti involves alternating Anuvasana and Niruha formulations in specific sequences. Nasya requires specific positioning and observation. Raktamokshana has strict documentation requirements for equipment and volumes. MedicoPlus Ayur has dedicated documentation templates for each — the Vaidya records clinical parameters, the therapist documents observations, and the system generates NABIDH-compliant procedure records automatically.
What the Panchakarma module covers
Every operational need of a Panchakarma programme — from the first consultation to the discharge summary.
Stage-by-Stage Progression
Visual treatment board showing each patient's current phase. Vaidyas and therapists see exactly who is in Poorvakarma, Pradhanakarma, or Paschatkarma — updated in real time as sessions are completed.
Therapist Assignment
Assign therapists based on their specific certifications — Basti requires different training than Nasya or Abhyanga. The system prevents assignment of unqualified staff to specialist procedures.
Therapy Room Scheduling
Real-time room availability across Shirodhara tables, Swedana chambers, Abhyanga tables, and other therapy spaces. Book rooms against specific sessions and detect conflicts before they happen.
Samsarjana Krama Dietary Tracking
Paschatkarma dietary schedules generated from the specific procedure performed and the patient's Prakriti. Dietary compliance tracked through the recovery period with daily check-ins.
Formulation & Medication Tracking
Record herbal formulations used in each procedure — oils in Snehana, Basti preparations, Nasya compounds. Quantities draw from pharmacy stock automatically, linking clinical use to inventory.
Discharge & NABIDH Submission
Generate complete discharge summaries with procedures performed, clinical findings, dietary recommendations, and follow-up intervals. Submitted to NABIDH automatically for DHA-licensed Dubai clinics.
Inpatient and outpatient Panchakarma in the same system
UAE Ayurvedic clinics serve two distinct populations: outpatients attending for day-procedure Panchakarma, and residential inpatients admitted for 7, 14, or 21-day programmes. Most clinic software forces a choice between these models. MedicoPlus Ayur handles both simultaneously. Outpatient programmes use the appointment and session scheduling workflow. Inpatient adds bed management, meal coordination with the kitchen, and admission-to-discharge documentation meeting DHA and DOH requirements.
For residential programmes, the compliance documentation burden is higher. NABIDH requires daily encounter records for admitted patients. Insurance claims need pre-authorisation documentation and procedure-level coding. MedicoPlus Ayur handles the ICD-10 and CPT code mapping from Ayurvedic procedure names automatically, so clinical staff document in Ayurvedic terminology and the system generates the codes required by UAE insurers and health authorities.
