08BEDS IN THIS
SAMPLE WARD

Select a bed to see its status and admission details.

01

Reserve & admit

Reserve a bed or admit the patient into the appropriate ward.

02

Care

Record observations, clinical notes, medication orders, and administrations.

03

Coordinate

Transfer beds and connect investigations, pharmacy, and procedure charges.

04

Discharge

Review the account, prepare the discharge summary, and release the bed into housekeeping.

01 / Beds and admissions

Know where the patient is, and what is available.

Manage beds and reservations alongside the admission record. Convert a reservation into an admission and transfer a patient when their bed or department changes. Bed state also covers the work after discharge, so releasing a patient and preparing a bed are distinct steps.

  • Bed reservation and admission
  • Bed and department transfers
  • Housekeeping and bed status

02 / Care on the ward

Record ward notes and medication activity.

Record clinical notes, vitals, and medication activity against the encounter. Medication orders can be held, resumed, or stopped, while administration is recorded separately from the order itself. A ward team can therefore distinguish what was prescribed from what was given.

  • Clinical notes and observations
  • Medication orders and administration records
  • Medication handoff to pharmacy

03 / The running account

See the charges behind the stay.

The encounter ledger brings together stay charges, manually added services, and charges attached from connected departments. Scheduled accrual supports room and configured recurring charges. Deposits, adjustments, payments, refunds, and provisional bills help billing staff review the account before discharge.

  • Room and recurring-service accrual
  • Deposits and provisional bills
  • Lab, radiology, pharmacy, and theatre charges

04 / Discharge and documentation

Finish the stay with the record in order.

Prepare and sign the discharge summary with the relevant clinical information. Billing and discharge rules guide the completion of the encounter. Payer and pre-authorisation records can sit alongside the admission when the patient’s payment arrangement requires them.

  • Discharge summary preparation and signing
  • Encounter balance and payment review
  • Payer and pre-authorisation records

BEYOND THIS DEPARTMENT

How this department
works with the others.

Ward medication orders can be sent to pharmacy. Linked investigations and completed theatre procedures can contribute charges to the inpatient encounter. The receiving department keeps its own workflow while the admission keeps the patient context.

A CLOSER LOOK

Practical
questions.

Can we collect an advance before discharge?

Yes. Inpatient billing includes deposits, adjustments against invoices, and deposit refunds. Staff can also generate a provisional bill while reviewing the stay.

Does the record distinguish medication orders from administrations?

Yes. The inpatient clinical workflow has separate medication order and administration records, including hold, resume, and stop actions on the order.

What happens to the bed when the patient leaves?

Discharge and housekeeping are separate states. The bed can move into the cleaning workflow before it becomes available again.
