Staff App Overview
What is Medbot CMS?
Medbot CMS is the clinic operations app. It is the day-to-day system a clinic’s front desk, nurses, doctors, and administrators use to run a physical location. Staff register patients, book and run appointments, manage a walk-in queue, roster staff, record clinical care, file results, and bill for visits.
It sits alongside the patient portal, where a clinic’s own patients sign in to request appointments, read visit summaries, message the clinic, and manage their contact details. See the Patient tab for the patient’s own view.
Key concepts
| Concept | What it is |
|---|---|
| Organization | A clinic’s account: its staff, locations, and patients. A person’s role is set per organization, so someone can be a Clinic Admin at one clinic and a Nurse at another. See Roles & Permissions. |
| Clinic location | A physical site. Sessions, rooms, staff assignments, and the queue are all scoped to one location at a time. |
| Clinic session | A location’s working day: which staff and rooms are active. Opened from Session Setup. |
| Reception queue | The live, location-scoped list of today’s booked and checked-in patients. See Reception Queue. |
| Roster | The staff schedule: draft shifts, recurring patterns, and a publish step that starts each day’s session and attendance tracking. See Rostering. |
| Patient portal | A separate, patient-facing app where a clinic’s patients sign in to manage their care. Staff connect a patient to it from the chart. See Patient Portal. |
