💡Note:

  • Price and Duration: Make sure to set appropriate pricing and duration for each service based on your clinic’s offerings.

  • Assign Departments: Services need to be tied to at least one department, so make sure your departments are set up before creating services.

  • Service Status: Services can be set as Active or Inactive. Only Active services will be visible for use in the system.

With these steps, you can easily create and manage services in LinkHMS, ensuring that your clinic’s offerings are well-organized and ready to use.
