Role-Based Access in Clinic Software: Setup Guide
Configure roles for doctors, nurses, reception, and billing staff — permission matrices, audit logs, and preventing unauthorised access to patient data.
Not every staff member should see every record. Reception needs demographics; nurses need vitals; doctors need full charts; billing needs invoices — not psychotherapy notes.
Role setup guide
- Define roles: Admin, Doctor, Nurse, Reception, Billing, Pharmacy
- Map minimum permissions per role
- Enable audit log for exports and after-hours access
- Review permissions when staff leave — disable same day
- Two-factor for admin accounts
OpdNest role matrices implement least-privilege by default templates you customise. NABH and DPDP audits increasingly ask who accessed what — logs answer instantly.
Shared doctor login passwords are a compliance failure; issue individual credentials.
