Summary:
A South Indian conglomerate set out to strengthen community health by building a modern clinic for underserved populations in Chennai. Camomile Healthcare redesigned the clinic’s operations end-to-end—creating 14 SOPs, streamlining workflows, planning capacity, and forecasting CAPEX/OPEX to ensure a smooth launch.

A 4-month hands-on training program equipped staff with the clinical, administrative, and digital competencies needed for high-quality care.

With standardized pathways, aligned EMR workflows, and a scalable operating model, the clinic is now positioned to deliver consistent, safe, and patient-centered services to the community.

Exhibit 1: A leading conglomerate with a strong CSR mission partnered with Camomile Healthcare to upgrade its community clinic in Ennore, Chennai. The goal was to transform the centre into a modern, patient-focused facility with stronger systems and an improved care experience. Camomile overhauled operations, built 14 SOPs, optimized HR and capacity planning, and delivered an intensive 4-month training program. A comprehensive annual operating plan was also created to ensure scalable, efficient, and sustainable clinic performance.

 

Exhibit 2: The clinic achieved stronger operational consistency through well-defined clinical pathways and SOPs. Staff capability improved significantly through hands-on training, while IT and HIS workflows were aligned for real-time digital documentation. Structured referral systems now ensure seamless continuity of care for complex patients.
