Admit a Patient to the Hospital

1. Open the patient record.

2. Select Admit to hospital from the patient header.

3. Complete the admission details:

   • Cage / run — Select the patient’s hospital location.

   • Attending — Assign the responsible clinician.

   • Acuity — Set the patient’s current level of attention.

   • Reason for stay — Enter why the patient is being hospitalized.

   • Initial note — Add information the hospital team or next shift needs to know.

4. Select Admit.

The patient is added to the live hospital board and their Treatment Sheet opens automatically.

Building the Treatment Plan

Select Add treatment to add orders to the patient’s plan.

There are three ways to build the plan:

Quick Entry

Use Quick to enter multiple orders using natural clinical shorthand.

For example:

Maropitant 1 mg/kg IV q24h, LRS 60 mL/hr continuous, TPR q4h, PCV/TS once

PawthosX structures recognizable doses, routes, frequencies, fluid rates, and schedules and places them into the Reviewarea before anything becomes active.

You can also select common orders such as:

• TPR

• Pain score

• Blood glucose

• Blood pressure

• PCV/TS

• Walk / elimination

• Offer food

• Client update

Groups

Groups are reusable care scaffolds that add several related orders at once.

Examples shown include:

• ER baseline

• ICU baseline

• Post-op recovery

Selecting a group adds its individual orders to the Review panel. They can be adjusted or removed before activation.

Groups are starting points — not locked protocols.

Manual

Use Manual when you want to create an individual treatment order directly rather than using Quick Entry or a Group.

Review and Activate Orders

Nothing becomes active immediately.

Review the proposed orders on the right side of the window, make any necessary changes, then select Activate orders.

PawthosX schedules the treatments and adds them to the patient’s active Treatment Sheet.

Working From the Treatment Sheet

The hospital workspace includes four primary views:

Now

Now answers the immediate question: What does this patient need right now?

Treatments are organized by status, including:

• Overdue

• Due now

• Coming up

• Running

Select a treatment to open its action panel.

Completing Treatments

Depending on the order, PawthosX can request the appropriate clinical result.

For example, a TPR order can capture:

• Temperature

• Pulse

• Respiratory rate

Enter the values and select Save & complete.

For other orders, select Complete once the treatment has been performed.

Delay, Skip, or Hold

Clinical reality changes. An individual scheduled treatment can be:

• Completed

• Skipped

• Delayed by 15, 30, or 60 minutes

• Held

These actions change the treatment schedule without requiring the order to be recreated.

Timeline

The Timeline provides a time-based view of the patient's treatment plan.

Each row represents an order and each scheduled dose or task appears at its expected time.

The timeline distinguishes between:

• Overdue

• Due

• Upcoming

• Completed

• Held

• Skipped

• Running

Use Earlier, Now, and Later to move through the hospitalization timeline.

Care Board

The Care Board provides hospital-wide awareness rather than focusing on only one patient.

Treatments are clinically organized into:

• Overdue — More than 10 minutes past due

• Due Now — Due now or within the next 15 minutes

• Coming Up — Approximately 15–45 minutes away

The board can also be filtered by:

• All patients

• My patients

• Critical

• Hospital location

This gives the nursing and clinical team one place to see what needs attention across the hospital.

Changing an Active Order

Select an order or scheduled treatment to open its details.

From the side panel you can review information such as:

• Order type

• Schedule

• Who created the order

• When it started

• Priority

• Charge / authorization status

Priority can be changed between Routine, Important, and Critical.

If an order should no longer continue, select Discontinue order. Future scheduled treatments for that order are then stopped without removing the historical record.

Audit History

Treatment actions are retained in the order's History.

PawthosX records events such as:

• Completion

• Entered clinical results

• Delays

• Holds

• Skips

• Discontinuation

• The team member responsible

• Date and time of the action

This creates a continuous record of what was ordered, what actually happened, and who documented it throughout the patient's hospitalization.
