A digital physician's logbook
for a precise workday.
A daily view that brings together appointments, visits, receipts and summaries. Record-keeping done right by the law, with a modern experience for your clinic team.
What goes into a physician's logbook?
A physician's logbook is the appointment log of a self-employed doctor, recording each day who came in, how much they paid, how they paid and who the receipt belongs to. The goal is clear documentation of all income and activity.
- Date and name of the patient or service recipient
- A note for home visits or night visits when relevant
- The amount actually received
- Who paid, and if someone else paid — their name in the notes
- Payments from HMOs, institutions or third parties, listed separately
- Receipt number and payment method: cash, credit card, check and more

Automatic patient retention after payment
Appointments, visits and receipts in the same workday
In addition to the physician's logbook, every self-employed doctor needs to keep an appointment book that records in advance who booked, for what time and on which day. In Medform, the daily view connects planning with what actually happened.
- Appointments documented in advance and kept as an appendix to the accounting system
- A daily summary of receipts and patient count
- Receipts recorded no later than 30 days after the end of the month they were received
- The clinic logbook kept for at least 7 years
What happens over a clinic workday
The logbook turns the doctor's day into an organized process: from a pre-booked appointment, through check-in and payment, to an activity summary.
Pre-booked appointments
The clinic calendar shows who booked, for what time and on which day, with a clear daily view for the team.
Real-time patient check-in
The patient's name is recorded the moment they're seen, and the team sees the day's schedule without flipping through pages.
Payments and receipts
The payment record, payment method and receipt are saved alongside your accounting activity.
End-of-day summary
Every day gets a full summary of activity, receipts and patient count, for a complete operational picture.
A logbook that serves both the law and your daily work
When the logbook runs on approved software, you can keep organized, transparent records without giving up a fast workflow.
A clean daily view
Every workday gets an organized snapshot of appointments, visits, receipts and open tasks.
Synced appointment booking
Cloud-based self-booking for patients based on availability rules, synced with external calendars.
Transparent history
When the logbook runs on approved software, changes are recorded in an activity log that can't be deleted.
Less paperwork for the team
Record-keeping, payments and the daily summary connect in one system, so the team can focus on care.
A bound logbook no longer has to be paper
By regulation, the logbook must be a bound book or approved software. When the logbook is kept in software, it must record changes transparently — for example, through an activity log that can't be deleted.
How a physician's logbook helps you close the day without gaps
When the logbook is connected to the appointment calendar, the patient record and receipts, it's easier to make sure every clinical and administrative action is documented in the right place.
Documentation as you work
When a patient is seen, the logbook links the pre-booked appointment to the actual visit, so the team can see what happened that day.
Linked to invoices and receipts
Amounts received, payment methods and receipts are saved in the context of the day's activity, instead of double entry in notebooks.
End-of-day review
A daily summary helps confirm that every visit, payment and open task is closed before the team moves on to the next workday.
What to know about a digital physician's logbook
Common questions about daily record-keeping, receipts, approved software and connecting the physician's logbook to the rest of your clinic's processes.
What's the difference between a physician's logbook and a regular appointment book?
An appointment book shows who booked a meeting and when. A physician's logbook also records the actual visit, the amount received, the payment method, the receipt and a summary of the day's activity.
Can a physician's logbook be digital?
Yes. Under the requirements, the logbook can be kept in approved software that maintains organized records and keeps a transparent history of actions and changes.
Which details should be recorded in the logbook?
Record the date of activity, the name of the patient or service recipient, the amount received, the payment method, the receipt number and special details such as a home visit or payment from a third party.
How does Medform help summarize a workday?
The system brings appointments, visits, receipts and open tasks together in a daily view, so it's easy to check what's done and what still needs attention.
Is the logbook connected to the rest of the clinic system?
Yes. The logbook is connected to the patient record, invoices and receipts, reminders and appointment booking, so the information never sits disconnected from your other workflows.
