DRAFT: Inpatient Mini-Squad

Background and Goals

  • Easily manage and support admissions, transfers and discharges for inpatient wards.

  • Give users basic information about patients on their ward to support clinical decision making (e.g. time since admission, time on this specific ward, important clinical information).

  • When needed, view connected/related patients on the same card in the ward view even if they are in separate wards (e.g. Mothers in postnatal and newborns in the NICU
