A Hospital Management System (HMS) for WordPress is typically implemented using specialized plugins or plugin suites that transform a basic WordPress installation into a functional platform for managing clinical and administrative operations.
Unlike a simple booking plugin, a full HMS aims to cover multiple facets of clinic or hospital operations.
The most notable and comprehensive solution available is the KiviCare plugin.
KiviCare is one of the most robust, all-in-one solutions available specifically on the WordPress platform, built using Vue.js for a smooth user experience.

Add-ons
DocBooker focuses strongly on the front-end presentation and management of doctors and clinics.
Doctor Management: Detailed profiles (bio, specialty, degree, schedule).
Clinic Management: Clinic setup with contact details and Google Map locations.
Doctor Filtering: Archive pages with filtering by department and clinic.
Booking System: Includes an appointment management system, though it heavily encourages patients to call to book (using a booking number feature).
If you only need a powerful appointment system without full EHR, other general booking plugins are popular in the healthcare space:
Bookly: A very popular and robust appointment scheduling plugin with a clean interface and good automation features.
Booknetic: A multi-purpose appointment booking plugin that includes features like self-scheduling, online payments, and customer management, often used by clinics.
A true Hospital or Clinic Management System goes far beyond basic online appointments. When evaluating a plugin, look for the following modules:
Module
Core Functionality
Patient Management
Registration, managing patient flow, demographics, and contact information.

Online booking, doctor time slot management, reminders, and cancellations/rescheduling.

Automated invoicing, payment processing, and management of insurance details/claims.
Admin & HR
Staff scheduling, human resource records, and managing different user access roles.
Patient Portal
A secure platform where patients can view their records, book appointments, and check lab results.
Do you need a solution for a small clinic (primarily focused on appointments and patient records) or a larger facility (requiring billing and inventory)?
