A hospital dashboard for finding available beds easily
This dashboard is remarkably simple and effective. I use it to show available beds across our hospital, and it has had the highest adoption of the many apps I have built. Because it contains no patient names and is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic use, it does not create a compliance problem. Our hospital uses it extensively. 1. I created a list of ward names, telephone numbers, and the disciplines assigned to them. 2. I built a simple dashboard that separates intensive care, intermediate care, and regular wards. 3. For each ward, I added the total number of beds and counters for available male, female, and neutral beds used for isolation. 4. I added isolation rooms where a male or female patient with a particular disease can be cohorted for isolation. 5. I also added monitored beds whose patients could be taken off monitoring if a monitor is needed. These are our “joker candidates.” 6. I kept patient names and diagnostic or therapeutic information out of the dashboard.
