The Ward Management subsystem of the Hospital Management System is responsible for assigning wards to patients who are admitted to the hospital, and also for scheduling the duties of doctors, nurses, and laboratory technicians in the wards. The subsystem is also responsible for interaction with the Procurement department for procurement of ward supplies. Ward management is the responsibility of the General Administration department of the hospital.
Duty Schedule for Doctors and Nurses
Scheduling the duties of doctors and nurses in the wards is one of the primary tasks of the Ward Management module. The duty schedule is prepared a week in advance for all doctors and nurses.
The doctors and nurses work five days a week. Some of the doctors and nurses have their workweek from Monday to Friday, while some others from Tuesday to Saturday, and so on. The workweeks for doctors and workweek for nurses change every month. For instance, if a doctor is on a Monday-Friday workweek in January, he will have Tuesday-Saturday workweek in February, and so on. The hospital ensures that doctors and nurses are available round the clock, all days of the year.
The duty schedule takes care of the surgeries to be performed by a doctor during a week. Emergency surgeries are always attended to on a priority basis. An attending doctor from a ward may be assigned to perform an emergency surgery. To manage emergencies, the general administration department always schedules a few extra doctors for duty. These doctors replace the attending doctors in the ward during the period of surgery.
To enable smooth management of wards and the surgeries, communication between the health care department and the Operation Theatre Facilities department must be proper and timely.
