Workflows in a small clinic

C0453How does a front desk check in a new patient?

The registration form collects demographics, creates a clinic-prefixed record number with a check digit, warns on possible duplicates and can admit a visit. Scheduling and insurance checks are not built.

C0454What if the patient is unknown or unconscious?

Unknown-patient registration lets staff start a record and later merge it with a two-person approval.

C0455How does a nurse take vitals?

She opens the patient's chart and adds vitals and notes that appear live to the doctor's open view. Structured flowsheets are not built.

C0456How does a doctor see a critical lab?

The result files to the chart and a sticky banner demands acknowledgement with a read-back note. The lab feed is synthetic in the pilot.

C0457How are allergies recorded?

As coded entries with reaction and severity, with an explicit allergy status so an empty list never reads as none.

C0458How are medications reconciled?

Every active medication needs a continue, stop or change decision before the list can be saved.

C0459How does a code get called?

A code button for the facility catalog raises an alert to its audience by role, responders must acknowledge and the history is kept. Colour, pattern and plain text all show the meaning.

C0460How are messages and memos different?

Messages are short, quick and conversational. A memo is a formal inbox item with priority, read receipts and acknowledgement. Urgent-sounding memo text is redirected to the alert path.

C0461How does a supervisor change an alert policy?

By proposing it; a different authorized person approves it, and the change is versioned with history.

C0462How does a clinic add a new staff member?

An administrator creates the user, who receives a one-time password and must change it at first login. Privileged roles need a second approver.

C0463How does a clinic remove a leaver?

An administrator disables the user, and the session is revoked. Role expiry and recertification are designed.

C0464How does a clinic book appointments?

Not yet. Scheduling is planned.

C0465How does a clinic print a chart?

The design uses a wired printer on the on-site server with logging and watermarks. Real printing is not built; the pilot has a wristband preview only.

C0466How does a clinic send a referral?

Referral and care-coordination loops are designed and not built.

C0467How does a clinic order a lab test?

By a free-text order in the pilot. Structured orders and lab interfaces are planned.

C0468How are results communicated to the patient?

Through the planned portal and release rules. The pilot has no patient-facing screen.

C0469How do small clinics handle immunizations?

The pilot has coded immunization entries. Registry reporting is designed, not built.

C0470How are prescriptions printed?

Not supported. E-prescribing and prescription paper are designed, not built.
