OPES CDMS

OPES CDMS is the digital document repository for clinical records. It enables facilities to scan and index paper records, store structured and unstructured clinical documents, and retrieve any document instantly by patient Health ID, document type, or date — even for pre-digital patient histories.

Documents stored in OPES CDMS are accessible directly within OPES EMR and OPES Hospital HIS, giving clinicians a complete view of the patient's record including scanned historical documents that predate the digital system.

Who is OPES CDMS for?

  • Facilities transitioning from paper to digital records
  • Medical records departments managing large document volumes
  • Hospital legal teams storing consent and medicolegal documents
  • Facilities with legacy paper records requiring digitisation
  • Any OPES EMR or Hospital HIS deployment
