Filopto is known for its neat and intuitive work flow based user interface. Filopto is user centric versus patient centric. By this, we mean users can accomplish most task in the order they want versus having to always open the patient file to complete a task. For example, a user does not have to open a patient file to create and invoice. The user can create a patient file directly from the scheduler, patient file, or using the Invoice Manager to name but a few. This flexibility permits user to complete task quicker and reduces the number of clicks required compared to patient centric system which mandates that you must first navigate to the patient file before completing a task.
The Filopto Interface is made up of four primary work areas:
1) The Menu Bar located on the top of the screen
2) The Ribbon Bar located below the menu bar.
3) Activity Work flow located in the center of the screen
4) The Activity buttons, Grid & links located in the bottom section of the screen.
