Nursing station and medication chart
Every dose that was due, and what happened to it.
A doctor's medication order turns into a chart of doses for the nurse, generated from the frequency on the order. Each dose is marked given, held or refused, vitals and nursing notes go on the same admission, and the shift handover is written where the next shift will read it.
| Order | 06:00 | 14:00 | 22:00 |
|---|---|---|---|

A missed dose is discovered at the next round, if at all
A dose left unrecorded six hours past its time is marked missed and shown on the chart.
Held and refused doses have no reason written down
Marking a dose held or refused requires a reason, which stays on the record.
Handover is verbal and depends on who is listening
Each shift writes its handover on the ward page, with the nurse's name and time.

Questions hospitals ask
Does the chart warn about interactions or doses?+
No. The chart shows what was ordered and what was given. Clinical checks remain with the doctor and the nurse.
Can nurses use it on a tablet?+
The console runs in a browser, so it opens on a tablet on the trolley as well as on the desktop at the station.
