Clinic equipment lists fail in both directions: under-buying what licensing requires (discovered at inspection) and over-buying prestige machines that idle (discovered at year-end). The discipline is regulatory-first, utilisation-second, prestige-last.
This checklist covers the universal categories, the specialty layer, and the operational equipment that pays for itself fastest.
For tcm clinics specifically: TCM clinics serve a patient base that often prefers Chinese-language service, dispense herbal formulas with hundreds of raw ingredients, and sell treatment in courses — acupuncture packages, tuina sessions — that generic clinic software has no concept of.
In Philippines: data privacy act 2012 (npc) alignment; patient identity via PhilID / UMID; english and filipino patient flows.
What inspections expect regardless of specialty:
Specialty equipment follows your actual procedure list, not the specialty's catalogue. Buy for the procedures that fill your first year; certified-refurbished serves identically for most bench equipment at 40–60% of new.
The front-of-house stack pays back fastest of anything on the list: self check-in kiosk, queue display, and the software beneath them — from RM 4,999 / S$2,499 / ฿49,900 bundled, typically recovering its cost in staff time within two months.
A parked machine is negative ROI: it depreciates, occupies clinical space, and needs maintenance. Defer any purchase whose utilisation you cannot forecast from booked demand — leasing and referral arrangements bridge the gap while demand proves itself.
Full tcm clinic workflow coverage: TCM Clinic software & kiosk pages
High-ticket specialty machines bought on optimism — used twice monthly, financed for years. Utilisation forecasting before purchase prevents most of it.
The operational stack. Clinics that open with a manual front desk retrofit a kiosk within two years anyway — after paying the extra-staff cost the whole time.
TCM Clinics have specific operational realities — chinese-first patient experience — herbal dispensary inventory, treatment courses, and bilingual records. The platform ships tcm clinic-specific workflows on the same foundation; see the dedicated pages under /clinic-types.
Data Privacy Act 2012 (NPC) alignment; DOH documentation practices; PhilHealth workflow tagging. Patient identity runs on PhilID / UMID; billing and payments run locally (GCash, Maya, QR Ph, Visa/Mastercard). Platform bundles start from ₱74,900 with first-year support.
Every guide on this page assumes one thing: operations you can see and steer. That platform exists and runs live clinics today.
