Who can do what

  • A clinician admits. To admit, transfer or discharge, you must hold clinician at that facility, and have access to the patient’s record (consent or a treatment basis).
  • A nurse charts. Nurses see the board and add fluid-balance entries. They cannot assign a bed. If a nurse tries, PHB refuses.
  • Owners and admins manage beds. Holding owner or admin alone does not let you admit.
The steps are in Bed board and admissions, Departments, wards and beds and Ward board.

​
Handover and medication charting

A nurse writes an SBAR handover at the end of a shift (Handover). It is a shift handover, not tied to a bed transfer. The medication administration record (MAR) is not built.
