The Wards section is where patient locations in the hospital can be created, modify, and deleted/inactivated. Active Wards in this section will appear in the Wards drop down lists throughout Instinct.
Any user with the “admin_wards” permission can manage Wards in Admin.
Adding New Wards
To add a new Ward, simply click “+ New Ward” at the top of the Wards Admin page.
Enter a Label and Abbreviation, then click “Save”. To link Automatic Charges to the Ward, simply click the “Add/Edit Charges” button and search for the appropriate Automatic Charge. As a reminder, Automatic Charges can be created under Products. For more information on how Automatic Charges work, click here.
Editing a Ward
To edit a Ward, simply click on the Ward Label to open the Ward Form.
To delete a Ward, click on the “X” on the far right (as shown above). A message will appear asking to confirm the removal of the Ward. Once confirmed, the Ward will be removed from the list if it has never been used before. If a Ward has been used before, a new message will appear stating that the Ward is currently in use and can not be removed.
In this situation, Instinct recommends inactivating the Ward by clicking on the Ward Label to open the Ward Form. Simply click on the “Active” toggle to turn it off, then click on “Save”.
The inactive Ward will then show in gray on the Wards list and will no longer appear in the Wards drop down lists throughout Instinct.
