Hospitalization (IPD)
Complete in-patient management from admission to discharge — wards, nursing, care plans and billing.
What is Hospitalization (IPD)?
The Hospitalization module manages your entire In-Patient Department (IPD). It handles admissions, ward and bed allocation, nursing care plans, in-patient procedures and structured discharge — all connected to the patient's EMR and hospital billing system. Every charge, every clinical note and every medication is captured from admission through to discharge.
Real-time bed and ward occupancy views help staff place incoming patients quickly and efficiently. The visual bed dashboard shows which beds are free, occupied, reserved or under cleaning — colour-coded for instant understanding. Transferring a patient between wards or beds is a simple drag-and-drop operation with full audit trail.
Care plans and nursing tasks keep the clinical team aligned around each admitted patient. Doctors define the treatment plan, nurses execute daily tasks and record vitals, and the system flags any deviation from the plan. Discharge summaries are generated automatically from the clinical record, saving hours of documentation time per patient.
Key Features
Everything Hospitalization (IPD) brings to your hospital to streamline operations and improve patient care.
Patient Admission
Register admissions with attending doctor, ward, admission type (emergency/elective), provisional diagnosis and insurance details. All past medical history is available from the patient's EMR.

Live bed occupancy map with colour-coded status (free, occupied, reserved, cleaning). View by ward, floor or department. Drag-and-drop patient transfers between beds.
Nursing Care
Assign and track nursing care tasks — medications, wound care, monitoring, patient hygiene. Tasks are per-shift with completion tracking and hand-over notes.

Occupancy Report
Analyse bed occupancy rates, average length of stay, admission/discharge trends and revenue per bed. Data-driven capacity planning for hospital administration.

Use Cases
See how healthcare providers use Hospitalization (IPD) in practice.
Multi-Ward Hospital
A 300-bed hospital with 12 wards uses the bed dashboard to place emergency admissions within minutes. Nursing task completion rates improved from 72% to 95% after implementing digital care plans.
Teaching Hospital
A teaching hospital manages 150 IPD patients across medicine, surgery and paediatrics wards. Discharge summaries that used to take 45 minutes per patient now generate in seconds from the clinical record.
