# CRM Development for Clinics

> Clinics need patient relationship tools that respect medical boundaries, not sales pipelines with "deal value." CRM development for clinics focuses on appointment history, recall campaigns, insurance vs private tracks, and admin follow-ups while keeping clinical records in your practice software.

## Patient CRM ≠ sales CRM

Use CRM for scheduling reminders, treatment plan follow-ups (administrative), satisfaction surveys, and referral source tracking, not diagnosis or clinical notes duplication.

## Workflows

**Recall and reactivation.** Hygiene recalls, annual check reminders, no-show follow-ups, with consent and opt-out per channel.

**Referral tracking.** Which GPs, insurers, or partners send patients, without exposing PHI in marketing tools.

**Private vs insurance tracks.** Different communication templates and payment follow-up rules.

**Family accounts.** Linked profiles for paediatric or family practices with guardian consent rules.

## Integrations

Clinic Cloud, Dentrix, Google Calendar, Twilio SMS, Stripe for deposits, lightweight patient portal links.

## GDPR

Special category data stays in EHR; CRM holds contact preferences and appointment metadata only unless you scope otherwise with DPO sign-off.

## Delivery

Recall workflow + referral tracking in 6–9 weeks. InfoWebPlus.

This complements our broader [custom software](/services/custom-software) service, and pairs naturally with [AI integrations for clinics](/topics/ai-integrations/clinics) when the same administrative workflows need automation beyond the CRM itself.

## FAQ

### Will CRM store medical records?

By default, no, appointment and communication metadata only. Clinical notes remain in your practice management system unless your DPO approves a broader scope.
