Shift Management
Schedule morning, afternoon, night and on-call shifts per ward with automatic start/end times computed from the shift type.
Auto-computed shift hoursOn creation each shift type seeds standard clock windows (e.g. morning 07:00-15:00, night 21:00-05:00) if start/end not supplied.
Shift lifecycle workflowScheduled to Active to Completed state machine with Start, Complete and Cancel buttons guarded so only valid transitions run.
Shift in-charge and nurse rosterAssign a shift in-charge nurse plus a many-to-many roster of nurses, all domain-filtered to staff with the nurse role.
Patients-covered counterEach shift auto-counts occupied beds across its assignments so charge nurses see live census at a glance.
My Shifts viewDedicated menu and action filtering shifts to the logged-in nurse via their linked user account.
02
Nurse-to-Bed Assignments
Assign specific beds to each nurse within a shift to enforce nurse-to-patient ratios and accountability.
Assignment patient load counterEach assignment computes how many of its beds are actually occupied so real workload is visible.
Assignment notesFree-text note per assignment for special-watch or task instructions.
03
Medication Administration (MAR)
Scheduled dose rows are generated from active prescriptions on admitted patients based on each drug's frequency.
Frequency-to-schedule engineMaps od/bd/tds/qds/4-hourly and clock frequencies to correct daily dose counts and time-of-day slots.
PRN and stat handlingPRN (as-needed) lines are excluded from auto-scheduling while dose-based frequencies populate the round times.
Idempotent dose schedulingGeneration dedupes on prescription line plus scheduled time so re-runs never create duplicate doses.
Dose administration workflowNurses mark each dose Given, Refused, Held, Missed or Wasted with capture of time and administering staff.
Controlled-substance witness enforcementDoses flagged as controlled cannot be administered without a second-staff witness, blocked at the server.
04
Inpatient Vitals Charting
Record BP systolic/diastolic, pulse, temperature, respiratory rate, SpO2 and pain score per observation.
Glasgow Coma Scale scoringCapture GCS eye, verbal, motor and total components for neurological monitoring.
Automated NEWS2 early-warning scoreComputes an indicative NEWS2 track-and-trigger score from respiratory rate, SpO2, temperature, BP, pulse and GCS.
Clinical alert flaggingAuto-classifies each observation Normal, Watch or Critical from NEWS2 and vital thresholds to prompt escalation.
Vitals trend graphLine graph view of vitals over time for spotting deterioration trends.
Recorded-by auto-captureDefaults the recording staff to the logged-in nurse or doctor for accountability.
05
Intake / Output Charting
Log oral, IV, NG feed, TPN, blood/products and other intake volumes in millilitres per shift.
Detailed output trackingLog urine, stool, vomit, drainage, NGT aspirate and other output volumes in millilitres.
Auto-computed totals and net balanceAutomatically totals intake, totals output and computes net fluid balance for the record.
Shift-tagged I/O recordsEach I/O entry is tagged morning, afternoon or night for per-shift fluid reconciliation.
06
Care Plans & Nursing Diagnoses
Structured care plans per admission with goals, interventions and evaluation as rich-text sections.
Standardized nursing diagnosis catalogAttach diagnoses from a seeded, unique-coded catalog (Acute Pain, Fall Risk, Pressure Injury, Infection, and more).
Care-plan review datesStart and target-review dates keep plans current and prompt reassessment.
Care-plan lifecycleActive to Resolved or Discontinued workflow with buttons logging the change to chatter.
07
Structured Assessments
Seeded Braden, Morse Fall, Numeric Pain, Wong-Baker FACES and RASS scales with score ranges and thresholds.
Configurable assessment typesManage assessment types by category, min/max score, risk thresholds and recommended interventions.
Sub-score line entryEnter individual parameter sub-scores that auto-sum to the assessment total.
Automatic risk categorizationDerives Low/Moderate/High/Very High risk correctly per scale direction (Braden inverse, Morse and pain direct).
Auto-suggested interventionsPulls the assessment type's recommended interventions into the record, editable per patient.
08
Shift Handovers
Outgoing-to-incoming shift handover records per ward with sequence-numbered references (HOV/year/xxxxx).
Critical patient listFlag specific critical admissions on each handover so the incoming crew is briefed on high-risk patients.
Incident linkage on handoverAttach relevant safety incidents to the handover for cross-shift awareness.
Live patient countAuto-counts active admissions in the ward at handover time.
Dual-signature sign-offBoth outgoing and incoming nurses must sign before the handover locks to Signed state.
