Overview
The Nursing Console is the primary workspace for ward nurses managing admitted patients. It provides a unified view of all nursing tasks, medication administration, vital signs, intake/output, and care documentation for patients in a specific ward.
Key Features
- Patient list filtered by ward/unit assignment
- Medication Administration Record (MAR) with scanning verification
- Vital signs charting with trend graphs
- Intake and Output (I/O) monitoring
- Nursing assessment forms (pain, fall risk, pressure injury, Braden scale)
- Care plan documentation with nursing diagnoses
- Task management with shift-based assignments
- Shift handover tool with SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation)
- PRN medication requests
- Restraint monitoring and documentation
Shift Handover
At shift change:
- Outgoing nurse opens the Handover tool
- System pre-populates:
- Active patients with key issues
- Pending tasks and overdue medications
- Critical lab values received during the shift
- New admissions and expected discharges
- Nurse adds narrative notes for each patient
- Incoming nurse reviews and acknowledges receipt
- Handover is saved as a permanent record
This ensures continuity of care and is a NABH requirement.

Info
The MAR supports barcode scanning: scan the patient wristband, then the medication barcode, to verify the right patient-right drug-right dose-right time-right route.
