DEV3 Curavane – Multi-Branch Hospital Management System (OPD, IPD, Pharmacy, HR, Billing) on Next.js + MongoDB

DEV3 Curavane is a self-hosted hospital management system for a group of hospitals or clinics, built by DEV3 Technologies on Next.js 16 (App Router and Server Actions) and MongoDB. One installation runs a hospital group with many branches. Each branch has its own timezone, currency, tax, letterhead, wards and stock, and staff see only the branches they are allowed to. It is a responsive web app: it works in a phone browser, and there is no native mobile app.

Try the live demo: it is read-only, with one-click logins for 19 roles on the sign-in page (password demo-pass-2026). All names, hospitals and data are fictional (the Larkmoor Health demo group, three branches). Payments, SMS and email are simulated: nothing is charged or sent.

Front desk and OPD

• Patient registration with a duplicate check, one MRN across branches, a printable MRN card, merge of duplicates, consents and policies.
• Appointments with a doctor calendar, live slots, schedules and leave blocks, a waiting list, token queue, kiosk check-in and a TV display that shows no patient names.
• Consultation workspace: vitals, history, ICD diagnosis (a starter list, with a note to load your licensed code set), orders, prescriptions with allergy and interaction warnings and an audited override, prescription PDF.

Inpatient care

• Six-step admission wizard (patient, payer, package, bed, consent, deposit) and a wristband.
• Ward, room and bed masters with day and hourly tariffs, a live bed board, reservations with expiry, transfers between beds, wards and branches, room booking.
• Inpatient chart with rounds, nursing notes, vitals trends, orders, diet and I/O, a nurse station and a 24-hour MAR with late and missed doses and witnessed controlled doses.
• Emergency board with triage levels, unknown-patient registration and an MLC register.
• Operation theatre calendar with room, surgeon and anaesthetist conflict checks, a WHO-style safety checklist and consumables issued from the OT store.
• Discharge with a checklist, summary PDF and a bill-clearance rule: discharge with unpaid dues is blocked unless a permitted role approves.

Diagnostics, pharmacy and store

• Laboratory: collect, in-lab and verify queues, reference ranges by sex and age, critical values, outsourced tests between branches, signed report links.
• Radiology: modality schedule, report templates and image attachments.
• Pharmacy: first-expiry-first-out dispensing, substitution, POS with split payment, returns, a controlled-drug register with witness, expiry and low-stock alerts, ward drug indents.
• Store and procurement: stores, indents, requisitions, purchase orders, goods receipts by batch and expiry, supplier invoices and payments, inter-branch transfers, stock counts and adjustments, reorder suggestions.

Billing, insurance and accounts

• OPD counter bills, a live bill for each admission, packages with absorbed and excluded items, deposits, interim and final bills, discount, write-off, refund and re-open approvals with role limits, credit notes and cash close by cashier.
• Insurance and TPA: pre-authorisations, payer split with approved ceilings, claims, settlement and deductions, insurer receivables.
• Doctor revenue share and referral commission, simple accounts (day book, expenses, other income, profit and loss).

HR and payroll

• Employees, documents, contracts, licence expiries, onboarding and exit checklists, duty roster with conflict rules, attendance with CSV import, leave with two-level approval, overtime, loans.
• Payroll with salary structures, a monthly run, approve, lock and pay, branded payslip PDFs. A locked month refuses changes.

Support services

Blood bank (donors, screening, cross-match, issue), ambulance fleet and trips with charges posted to the bill, housekeeping tasks created on discharge, linen ledger, maintenance tickets and assets with AMC dates, diet orders and a kitchen list.

Reports and dashboards

A group dashboard (census, occupancy, revenue and payroll across branches), a branch dashboard with the Census Strip, a "My day" view for roles without module access, and about 60 reports with date and branch filters and CSV and PDF export.

Access, safety and audit

• 19 built-in roles plus custom roles, a permission matrix with own, department, branch or all scope, and branch-scoped staff.
• Two-factor sign-in, lockout, password age, session list with remote sign-out, an audit log with before and after values, break-glass access.
• Every module has list, view, add, edit and delete. When a delete is blocked, the app tells you why.

Public website and patient portal

• A hospital website with departments, doctors, branches, online booking with a simulated SMS code, contact form and pages managed in a built-in editor.
• A patient portal: appointments, reports, prescriptions, bills with online payment (simulated gateway), documents and family links.

What's in the package

• Full TypeScript source of the web app and the background worker, .env.example, the HTML documentation and a START-HERE guide.
• 1,600+ automated tests (Vitest), including race tests on real MongoDB, static checks on access control, and browser smoke flows.
• A demo seeder: three branches, about 100 staff, 300 patients, six months of activity and live today's data.

Requirements

• Node.js 20.9 or newer and npm
• MongoDB 6 or newer (a single node works; a replica set is recommended)
• Your own SMTP account and payment gateway keys if you want real email and payments. Out of the box, email goes to a log and payments are simulated.

Good to know

• It is not a certified clinical system. You are responsible for clinical content, licensed code sets and local regulations. Controlled drugs in the demo use generic class labels.
• SMS is simulated and has no provider connector. Payments use a simulated gateway until you connect your own.
• Web only: responsive for phones and tablets, with no native iOS or Android app.
