Wards & beds

Every bed of the hospital by ward and who lies in it now (Wards & beds add-on). A bed is free, occupied with the patient, the IP number from their bill, the doctor and the days in, being cleaned, or out of service; the occupancy and the patients due out today are counted for you.

Steps

  1. Open Wards & beds and press New bed. Type the ward or unit, the bed's code, its kind and its price per day.
  2. Press Admit on a free bed and type the patient's name, the IP number from their bill, the doctor, the admission day and the expected discharge.
  3. Press Discharge when the patient leaves: the bed goes to Cleaning. Press Clean, ready when housekeeping is done and it is free again.
  4. The Patients in tab lists the patients in a bed now, longest in first, with the expected discharge (due today or earlier is flagged).

Tips

  • One IP number can lie in one bed only: to move a patient, discharge them from the first bed and admit them to the new one.
  • Only the name, IP number, doctor, bystander and diet are kept on a bed, never a diagnosis; clinical notes stay in Patient records.
  • Ayurveda hospitals add their rooms and cottages as beds of the kind Cottage, and note the bystander who stays with the patient and the diet the kitchen sends (Kanji, no salt) when they admit; both are cleared at discharge.
  • Out of service beds are left out of the occupancy. Bill room and ICU days at the hospital POS with the same IP number.
