IPD management

From admission to discharge, every step of in-patient care in one system: beds, charges, nursing, services and the final bill.

In-patient care

IPD management features

Built around the way wards actually run: the bed is known at admission, charges build up by themselves, and the discharge bill is ready when the patient is.

1

Wards

Set up each ward (general, private, surgical, maternity, ICU and so on) with its code and floor, and manage them from one settings screen.

2

Room types & bed charges

Define bed types such as general, semi-private and private, each with its own daily rate, and different rates for panels or insurance.

3

Bed allocation

Choose the ward, bed type and a free bed at admission. Reserved and occupied beds cannot be given twice.

4

Occupancy at a glance

Total, free, occupied and reserved beds for every ward, live, for the front desk, nursing and management.

5

Automatic daily charges

Bed charges are added to the bill for each day of the stay, along with any items you set to be added automatically on admission.

6

Admission to discharge

Admission, ward and bed transfer, ward requests for lab, radiology and medicines, discharge summary and final bill, step by step.

7

Deposits & settlement

Take advance deposits, see the running bill at any time, and settle everything at discharge on one bill.

8

Nursing station

Ward-wise in-patient lists, vitals, input/output charting, nursing orders and drug requests to the pharmacy.

9

IPD reports

Admitted and discharged patients, transfers, in-patient census and outstanding bills.

Live view

Reception, nursing and management see the same bed picture at the same moment.

How a stay works in CareBridge

1

Admit

Search the patient, choose doctor, ward, bed type and bed; take a deposit if needed.

2

Treat

Doctors and nurses order tests, medicines and services; each one lands on the bill.

3

Transfer

Move the patient to another ward or bed; charges follow the new bed from that day.

4

Discharge

Discharge summary, final bill with deposits adjusted, and the bed is free again.
