Once you have checked in a patient, locate them on the Status Board to add any other important details that will help support staff find the patients they are looking for.
The reason for the visit should be entered or can be updated under the patient’s name where it says “Enter Problem List”.
Select a Doctor from the drop down menu in the DR column, if one is not chosen at check in.
The Ward is where the patient is located and should be kept updated as the patient moves. This will ensure that everyone knows where each patient is at all times.
Patient Alerts are extremely helpful as well. Examples include Dog Aggressive, Food Allergy, Blind, Patients with Similar Names, etc.!
The Service should also be selected.
The Cage Card Info to the far right also contains the Client Information, Discharge date/time, which can be set as a simple communication tool, and Belongings/Notes which is where you can list belongings that are being left at the hospital or other notes about the patient.
💡 ProTip: Use the “TX VIEW” button at the top of the screen to hide the Cage Card Info and replace it with the Tx sheet.
