What PRIME does in every consultation
From the first question to the signed script, PRIME works through the consultation with you, using the South African guidelines you already work by.
Guideline-driven care
Every diagnosis and script is built from the South African PHC STG/EML, with each line cited to its guideline section. One tap opens the guideline at the right page.
A diagnosis you can explain
A ranked differential with the reasoning behind each option. PRIME spots when a patient has two unrelated problems and gives each its own plan.
Danger signs checked first
Red flags are screened on every consultation, and the dangerous conditions that were ruled out are listed, so nothing serious is missed.
A doctor only when you need one
Within your scope, you treat. Outside it, PRIME sends the prescription and case summary to an HPCSA-registered doctor, who edits or signs off remotely.
Automated follow-ups
PRIME checks in with your patients after the visit and tells you who is not improving, so no patient slips through the cracks.
Your clinic's dashboard
See how your clinic is doing at a glance: patients seen, consultations, follow-ups and more.
Consult in the patient's language
Take the history in isiZulu, Sesotho, isiXhosa, Afrikaans or any of the 11 official languages, with the English translation side by side.
The right tests, and only those
PRIME recommends the investigations that change management, and says which ones are not needed.
Counselling made simple
Patient advice laid out per problem as a short checklist, so nothing important is forgotten before the patient leaves.
Paperwork done for you
Prescriptions, referral letters and medical certificates are drafted from the consultation, ready to sign and send.
Children under five
A dedicated IMCI pathway with growth and nutrition checks, so a sick child gets the right classification and urgency.
Occupational health built in
Medical surveillance, certificates of fitness and statutory forms such as Annexure 3 and CM12, from the same system.
A doctor only when the script needs one.
You treat everything within your scope yourself. Only when a patient's treatment falls outside it does PRIME send the prescription and a case summary to an HPCSA-registered doctor for review.

The doctor edits or signs off
Remotely, without the patient coming back. You pay only for the scripts a doctor reviews.
Nurses pay R55 only for each case a doctor reviews, and nothing extra for medical aid patients.

How PRIME works
PRIME guides nurses step by step through every consultation, with an HPCSA-registered doctor's review whenever a script is outside the nurse's scope.
1
Pre-consultation: an in-depth history
While the patient waits, PRIME takes a structured, in-depth history in their own language. Total of 21 languages, including all 11 official South African languages. By the time the patient sits down with you, the history is ready, which improves diagnostic accuracy.
2
Differential diagnosis & patient summary
PRIME generates a differential diagnosis and a concise summary for the practitioner, improving accuracy and saving time.
3
Recommended examinations & investigations
PRIME suggests the examinations and investigations each case needs, and explains an examination step by step when you are unsure, keeping care structured and standardised.
4
Local guideline integration
PRIME references South African guidelines, advising when to administer oxygen, give stat medication, or escalate to a specialist.
5
Prescription generation
Automatic prescription creation, improving safety and reducing administrative time.
6
Patient communication
PRIME communicates to patients their diagnosis, potential adverse reactions to monitor, and lifestyle advice. Extending the quality of care beyond the consultation.
7
Remote doctor review
Only when a patient's treatment falls outside the nurse's scope are the prescription and a case summary sent to an HPCSA-registered doctor, who edits or signs off remotely, enabling nurse-led care with physician oversight.
8
Automated follow-up
PRIME follows up your patients automatically on WhatsApp. If a patient reports ongoing or worsening symptoms, the system books a follow-up or alerts the doctor, so every patient is followed up and no one slips through the cracks, without needing the doctor's time.
