Published by: Mohammed Siddiq

Introduction

Accurate tracking of a patient’s intake and output is critical in inpatient care. MocDoc’s newly introduced Intake/Output Form in the Ward Request screen now allows nursing staff to efficiently record and review these details in real-time, ensuring better patient monitoring and streamlined workflows.

Key Challenges Addressed by the Intake/Output Form

  1. Manual Tracking: Nursing staff traditionally rely on manual entries to record intake and output, which can lead to delays and errors in capturing vital data.
  2. Data Accessibility: The challenge of retrieving previous records in a timely manner can impact care decisions, delaying the response to patient needs.
  3. Standardization: Without standardized tracking methods for intake and output, inconsistencies in data entry can compromise the accuracy of patient information.

Key Elements of the Intake/Output Form:
