Founding Hospital Programme
Be first. On terms that make first safe.
DDRT is choosing its founding hospitals now — and there are exactly five slots. Being early is usually a risk. The programme is structured so the first five carry the least of it — and keep the most upside, for good.
The straight answer
“Who else uses this?” — No one yet. Here's why we say that plainly.
A vendor who pretends about references will pretend about other things. What we have is a finished, working system — every department, registration to NHIS claim to the financial statements — that we will walk you through live, for as long as you like, with your own scenarios. What we don't have yet is a logo wall. The terms on this page exist to make that trade clearly worth it: you take a chance on being first, and the structure of the deal takes the risk out of it.
Honesty about being early, paired with a working product, beats a vendor who pretends.
The founding terms
Six commitments, in writing.
Every one of these appears in your proposal and your agreement — not just on this page.
30% on signing, 30% when your facility is configured and your data is migrated, 30% at go-live — and the final 10% only after thirty days of stable operation. You pay as it works, not before.
Founding hospitals contract below standard list — and keep founding rates for the life of the agreement. Your price never climbs to standard list. Being early should keep paying.
The code sits in escrow with release conditions in your agreement. If DDR Technologies ever cannot support you, your hospital gets the source. Your operations never depend on our fortunes.
Run DDRT on your own hardware, on a licence you own outright. On-premises deployment is a first-class option, not an exception — designed for Ghana's power and network reality.
If a licence ever lapses, the system degrades to read-only — it never switches off, and it never holds your patients' records hostage. Full data export is your right, in the agreement.
Founding hospitals get the people who built the system, not a ticket queue — and configuration changes turned around in days, often the same day. You'll help shape the roadmap.
How the engagement runs
The DDRT Method — four stages, each with an exit you control.
Typical durations for a mid-size facility; your proposal fixes the dates. The sequence below is also the payment schedule — each stage ends with something you can verify.
Assess
Discovery on site. We map your departments, payer mix, NHIS workflow, and price list — and you see the live demo built around your own scenarios. You leave with a written scope. No commitment yet.
Sign → 30%Configure & migrate
Forms, tariffs, roles, wards, and stores configured to your facility — configuration, not custom code. Legacy records migrated with our tooling and verified against source counts, which you approve.
Verified → 30%Train & go live
Department-by-department cutover with super-user training and side-by-side running. Our team is on site for the first days of live operation.
Go-live → 30%Support & grow
A direct line to engineering, monthly operational reviews, and a public feature-status page so you always know what's live and what's next.
30 days stable → 10%What founding hospitals get
The whole system. Not a starter tier.
- All ten modules — registration to NHIS claim to the general ledger. Founding hospitals aren't sold a cut-down edition.
- On-premises or cloud — including the self-contained appliance for facilities where the network can't be trusted.
- Legacy data migration — patients, catalogues, and balances imported and verified before cutover.
- Training and go-live support — on site, department by department, until your team runs it without us.
- Patient-facing channels — branded portal, WhatsApp and SMS notifications, mobile-money payments.
What we ask of you
Three things. None of them money.
- A named champion — an administrator or medical director with a few hours a week during setup, empowered to make workflow decisions.
- Real workflows, honest feedback — you'll be shaping the product for every hospital that follows you, and we'll act on what you tell us.
- A reference conversation — later. Once you're live and genuinely happy, we'll ask permission to tell your story. Never before, and only if you're happy. That's the whole trade.
Questions founders ask
Asked plainly, answered plainly.
Who else is using DDRT today?
What happens if DDR Technologies shuts down?
What does it cost?
How long until we're live?
What about our existing patient records?
Can it run without reliable internet or power?
Next step
Founding conversations go straight to the engineering team.
Start with the demo — 45 minutes, the real product, your scenarios. If it's not the best hospital system you've seen, you'll have lost an hour and gained a checklist for whoever you pick instead.
