Compassionate Cancer Care, Intelligently Managed
Chemotherapy scheduling, tumor marker tracking, treatment response documentation, survivorship planning, and MDT coordination.
Industry Insight
India sees over 1.4 million new cancer cases annually, with the oncology services market growing at 12-15% per year. Oncology clinics manage some of the most complex patient schedules in medicine — multiple appointment types, frequent lab monitoring, and long treatment timelines. Workflow automation is critical for efficient care delivery and patient experience.

Complete Oncology Clinics Automation Suite
Every module is tailored to the unique workflows of oncology clinics.
IVR & Appointment Management
Oncology scheduling is complex — consultations, chemotherapy sessions, blood work appointments, and imaging slots all need coordination. Doctat's IVR and smart queue handle it.
- AI-powered IVR lets patients and caregivers book appointments across consultation, chemo, and lab slots
- Smart queue manages multiple appointment types in parallel with accurate wait times
- Automated reminders for upcoming chemotherapy sessions with pre-session instructions (fasting, hydration)
- 2-month scheduling forecast helps oncology coordinators plan chemo chair utilisation and drug procurement
Pre-Consultation Intelligence
Oncology patients require thorough intake — treatment history, current cycle status, symptom assessment, and performance status. Octa captures it before every visit.
- Nurse captures vitals, weight, performance status, current side effects, and medication list via structured intake or voice
- Critical flags for febrile neutropenia symptoms, severe pain, or acute deterioration trigger immediate alerts
- Previous investigation results, treatment summaries, and cycle history auto-surface for every visit
- Structured intake ensures toxicity grading and symptom assessment are captured consistently
Prescription Templates & Speed
Oncology prescriptions include supportive care medications, pain management, anti-emetics, and oral chemotherapy agents. Templates speed up the routine prescriptions.
- Pre-built bundles for supportive care (anti-emetics, PPIs, growth factors), pain management, and oral maintenance therapy
- F-key shortcuts for common supportive medication combinations prescribed with each chemo cycle
- Anti-duplicate check prevents conflicting medications, especially important with polypharmacy in cancer care
- Instant test requisitions for CBC, LFT, KFT, tumour markers, and imaging with one click
Lab & Diagnostic Integration
Oncology relies on frequent lab monitoring — pre-chemo blood work, tumour markers, organ function panels. Doctat makes lab ordering and result tracking seamless.
- Your lab orders for CBC, LFT, KFT, tumour markers (CEA, CA-125, PSA, AFP), and coagulation panels go straight to the lab with zero re-entry
- Results sync back into the patient record — trend tumour markers and blood counts across treatment cycles
- Auto-billing for every investigation ensures accurate invoicing
- Pending result alerts ensure pre-chemo clearance labs are reviewed before treatment proceeds
Pharmacy & Dispensing
Oncology patients take multiple supportive medications alongside their cancer treatment. Doctat's pharmacy module handles dispensing efficiently.
- Prescription medicines auto-populate in the pharmacy — anti-emetics, analgesics, oral chemo agents, and supportive drugs
- Dispense, bill, and update inventory in one step with no re-entry
- Stock alerts for critical medications that cancer patients cannot afford to miss
- Consolidated invoice covering consultation, labs, pharmacy, and procedure charges
Patient App & Follow-ups
Cancer patients and their caregivers need constant communication and schedule visibility. The patient app provides a reliable channel.
- Patients and caregivers view prescriptions, lab results, upcoming appointments, and chemo schedules on their phone
- Automated reminders for blood work appointments, chemo sessions, and follow-up consultations
- Patients can report new symptoms, side effects, or concerns through the app between visits
- Appointment booking via app reduces the phone burden on oncology coordinators

What Oncology Clinics Doctors Say
“Oncology patients have the most complex follow-up schedules — chemo cycles, blood work before every session, imaging at intervals. Before Doctat, my coordinator spent 4 hours a day on phone calls alone. The IVR and patient app cut that to under 30 minutes.”
“No-shows for chemotherapy sessions were costing us Rs 3-4 lakh a month in unused drugs and blocked slots. Doctat's automated reminders with pre-session instructions brought our chemo no-show rate from 18% down to 4%.”
“Every oncology visit needs a fresh CBC, KFT, and LFT before we can proceed with treatment. Doctat's lab integration means those orders go out automatically and results come back into my screen without anyone re-entering numbers. We saved 3 hours of staff time per day.”

Yes. Build bundles for anti-emetic regimens, pain management protocols, growth factor support, oral maintenance therapy, and symptom-specific combinations. Assign to F-keys for instant prescriptions during busy clinic days.
How does Doctat handle pre-chemo lab clearance?
Order CBC, LFT, KFT, and other clearance labs with one click. Results sync back into the patient record automatically. Pending result alerts ensure the treating doctor reviews labs before chemo proceeds.
How does the patient app help cancer patients and caregivers?
Both patients and caregivers can view treatment schedules, upcoming appointments, lab results, and prescriptions. Automated reminders for chemo sessions and blood work reduce missed appointments. The query feature lets them report concerns between visits.
Can Doctat track tumour markers over time?
Yes. When tumour marker results sync back from the lab, they appear in the patient timeline. You can view trends across treatment cycles — CEA, CA-125, PSA, AFP, and others — to monitor treatment response at a glance.
Does Doctat help reduce chemotherapy no-shows?
Automated reminders sent via SMS and the patient app — including pre-session instructions for fasting, hydration, and medication holds — typically reduce chemo no-show rates by 60-80%. This directly saves costs from unused drug preparations and blocked chair time.
