HIMS runs casualty on a live triage board: patients are registered in seconds, placed in a bay with a triage category and status, ordered for and treated from the board, and either discharged from casualty or converted into an inpatient admission on the same record.
Emergency department software runs the casualty area of a hospital from the moment a patient arrives: a fast registration that can be completed later, a triage category, a place on a live board showing every patient in the department and their status, orders and treatment from that board, and a clean exit either to discharge or to an inpatient bed. In HIMS the casualty and trauma triage board is a module of the same platform that runs OP, IP and billing.
The design principle is that casualty cannot wait for paperwork. The board comes first; demographics, payer details and consent follow once the patient is stable. Because the casualty record is the hospital record, an admission from casualty carries its investigations, drugs and notes straight into the ward, the ICU or the operation theatre.
Nobody has time to write in casualty. So the record is built afterwards, or not at all.
The desk needs a name, an address and a payer before a file exists, and the patient is on a trolley in the corridor.
The medical officer knows the cases they have seen. The in-charge does not know how many are waiting or who has been there longest.
Investigations and drugs given in casualty are written up later from memory, if at all.
The patient reaches the ward and the admission is registered afresh, losing the casualty notes.
Drugs, dressings and procedures done in casualty rarely make it onto the bill.
Name or unknown patient, a UHID and a bay, in seconds.
Category assigned and the patient appears on the live board.
Investigations, imaging and drugs ordered from the board against the record.
Waiting, under treatment, awaiting results, ready for decision.
Discharge from casualty, or convert to an IP admission with a bed.
Demographics, payer and consent finished once the patient is stable.
Workflow: Registered as an unknown patient in a bay, triaged red, imaging ordered to AuraPACS from the board; details added when relatives arrive.
Result: Treatment starts before the paperwork.
Workflow: The medical officer sees a free ICU bed on the board and converts the casualty record into an admission with that bed.
Result: The ICU receives the record, not a verbal handover.
Workflow: Dressing and injection recorded against the case, discharged from casualty with the bill raised from what was done.
Result: Casualty revenue is captured.
Workflow: The in-charge sees eight patients on the board, two waiting longest, and reassigns the second medical officer.
Result: Waiting is managed from a screen, not from noise.
A casualty that feeds every department.
A small casualty with one medical officer.
A board instead of a register.
Orders and drugs recorded as given.
Casualty load and admissions on the dashboard.
Yes. Casualty registration needs only enough to create a UHID and a place on the board, including an unknown patient. Demographics, payer and consent are completed once the patient is stable, on the same record.
Every patient currently in casualty with their bay, triage category, status and time since arrival, so the in-charge sees the department at a glance. It is the same board shown in the hospital demo.
The medical officer converts the casualty record into an IP admission and picks a free bed, including ICU beds, from the bed board. Everything ordered and given in casualty is already on the admission. See bed management.
Yes. An imaging order goes to AuraPACS, the study lands from the machine and the images open in the browser viewer on the patient's record, so the casualty team and the radiologist see the same study.
Drugs, consumables and procedures recorded against the casualty case are raised on the bill, whether the patient is discharged from casualty or admitted. See hospital billing software.
Yes. It is one module of the hospital platform and shares the record with OP, IP, ICU, OT, pharmacy, laboratory and billing. Read the hospital management system page for the whole picture.
