Who this is for
The staff who make the beds. You sign in with your PIN like everyone else; your screen is Beds. It shows every bed and its state, and nothing about the patients in them — no name, doctor or chart.
The beds
| On the screen | What it means | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Occupied | A patient is in it | Nothing |
| To clean · how long it has waited | The patient has left or moved | Click Start cleaning when you begin |
| Being cleaned · who · from when | Someone is making it | When it is made, click Ready |
| Ready (dashed) | Made, waiting for the next patient | Nothing |
| Out of use · why | Not to be used (a repair) | Nothing |
How to make a bed
- Open Beds. Beds waiting longest show the longest time.
- Click Start cleaning on the bed you are making. Everyone, and the ward, now sees it is being made by you — two people do not make the same bed.
- When it is made, click Ready. It can be given to the next patient.
Good to know: a bed can only be started once, and made ready once. If the button has gone, someone else has already done it.
Today
Today shows how many beds were made, how long on average from the patient leaving to the bed ready, who made them, and the longest wait. A wait over an hour is marked.
The biomedical waste log
Biomedical waste in the sidebar (if your role has it). Once a day, as the bags are collected inside:
- For each place — each ward, casualty, the lab, the OPD — type the bags and the kilograms of each colour: yellow, red, white (sharps) and blue (glass). Point at a colour's heading to see what goes in it.
- Press Save the day. A day you missed can be chosen and filled in.
- When the treatment facility's van collects, press + A collection: their weights for each colour, the vehicle number and their receipt number, and a photo of the receipt.
If their weight and yours differ by more than 5%, the collection says so; write why (a wet bag, a scale reading wrong).
