Scenario
Big Picture
You are a clinician working at a health trust with many hospitals. Your role is to provide individualized health care to patients in your region. One aspect of this is responding to patients' hospital admissions. Your job is to help clinicians understand patient histories and use that information to create a plan to get the patient home as quickly as possible.
This dashboard shows the activity of individuals admitted to the hospital in the last 24 hours. Patients' recent medical histories help explain the reasons for their admission to the hospital. Along with personal knowledge of the patients, this information allows you to plan a successful intervention.
