The patient chart and its tabs

Everything about one patient, organised into tabs — plus the header, quick actions, and right rail.

The patient chart is the heart of the workspace. A header identifies the patient; a strip of tabs organises everything recorded about them; a right rail holds quick actions.

At the top you'll find the patient's identity, admission date, ABHA ID, an allergies pill, chronic-condition chips, and a clinical-scores strip (NEWS2 / qSOFA). Role-gated action buttons sit on the right: the Code Blue button, Discharge readiness, and Discharge summary. Read-only roles instead see an Observer · read-only marker.

The tabs

The tab strip runs in this order:

The Chart tab

The Chart tab is the summary view. It leads with the SBAR Snapshot, then the patient's calendar, critical lab values, current nurse and handoff, pain score, latest vitals (HR, BP, temperature, SpO2, respiratory rate, weight), next-due medications, an activity timeline, and current medications.

Quick actions

On wide screens a Quick actions drawer sits in the right rail, with cards for the Eir assistant, a quick SBAR handoff, paging the resident or attending, round mode, and Code Blue.
