Names spelled differently
Chukwuemeka, Emeka, and C. Okafor can all end up as separate patients.
Health ID & patient matching
Recognise the same patient, every time.
Give each patient a unique health ID without heavy infrastructure. ClinicOS matches returning patients and flags likely duplicates, so one person has one record.
The problem
One patient, many folders.
Phone numbers change
Matching on a phone number fails when the patient gets a new line.
History split across files
Duplicate records mean clinicians only see part of the story.
With ClinicOS
One person. One health ID.
Each patient gets a unique identifier. When someone registers again, ClinicOS checks for likely matches and helps staff merge duplicates, using verified details.
Unique health IDs
A simple identifier assigned at registration.
Patient matching
Likely matches suggested when a patient registers or is searched for.

Staff review and merge duplicate records safely.
Lightweight setup

Lookups and merges are logged.
How it works
Three steps, start to finish.
- 1
Register once
The patient is given a health ID at their first visit.
- 2
Match on return
ClinicOS finds the existing record, even with small differences.
- 3
Keep one record
Duplicates are flagged and merged by staff.
Built for Nigeria
Not a NIN. A practical health identifier.
A ClinicOS health ID is not a government ID and does not give nationwide access to records. It helps participating facilities recognise the same patient, based on verified details and permission.
- Separate from the NIN and government IDs
- Sharing depends on permission and participating facilities
- Designed to reduce duplicate records from day one
Is a ClinicOS health ID the same as a NIN?
No. It is not a government-issued ID and does not replace the NIN.
Can any hospital see a patient's record with their ID?
No. Records connect only across participating facilities, based on permissions and the patient's consent.
How are duplicates merged?
ClinicOS flags likely duplicates. A staff member reviews them and confirms any merge, and the change is logged.
