Operations

The whole house on one board.

Every bed, room, and unit with who's in it, when they're expected to discharge, and which beds are actually available tonight — replacing the whiteboard and the spreadsheet that disagree with each other.

See what it costs

Built for residential and detox. Outpatient tools were never designed to carry this.

Tonight

Forty beds, and a real answer to "do you have space?"

The whiteboard and the spreadsheet disagree by the afternoon. This is one board, updated by the same admissions and discharge events that drive the chart and the claim.

Why the board is a financial document

Occupancy is the single biggest driver of residential revenue.

An empty bed earns nothing and costs the same as a full one. Which makes "how many do we have open tonight" the most valuable question in the building — and the one a spreadsheet answers wrong most often.

Admissions

Answer the call with a number

When a referring hospital calls at 4pm, the intake coordinator can say yes or no immediately, including which beds match the patient's gender, acuity, and level of care.

Billing

Bed-days build the claim

Per-diem and case-rate claims are constructed from the census. When the board and the claim come from one source, the bed-day count does not have to be reconciled by hand.

Placement is clinical

Who is roomed with whom is a treatment decision, not a housekeeping one.

Acuity, gender, observation level, and history all bear on placement — which is why the board belongs on the same record as the chart rather than on a laminated sheet at the nursing station.

Questions

Common questions.

What does the census board show?

Every bed, room and unit with who’s in it, when they’re expected to discharge, and which beds are actually available tonight — occupied, open, on hold, and out of service — plus live census stats like occupancy, holds pending, discharges tomorrow and average length of stay. It replaces the whiteboard and the spreadsheet that disagree by the afternoon.

How does the board stay accurate?

It’s updated by the same admissions and discharge events that drive the chart and the claim, so it’s one source rather than a board someone has to keep in sync by hand. When a referring hospital calls at 4pm, the intake coordinator can say yes or no immediately, including which beds match the patient’s gender, acuity and level of care.

How does the census relate to billing?

Per-diem and case-rate claims are built from the census, so when the board and the claim come from one source the bed-day count doesn’t have to be reconciled by hand. Because occupancy is the single biggest driver of residential revenue, an accurate answer to "how many beds are open tonight" is also a financial one.
