What this is

Veona ED (Emergency Department) runs casualty flow: triage assigns a 5-level acuity and routes the patient, the emergency board tracks every active visit through triage, casualty, and observation, and disposition records the outcome. An ED visit opens a clinical Encounter on the shared clinical spine, so charting and ordering carry through.

Who uses it: ed_nurse triages and treats (ed.triage, ed.treat). ed_physician treats and decides disposition (ed.disposition). clinical_admin manages ED settings. clinician and nurse also work the ED floor and hold the triage / treat keys.

Editions

ED is included in Hospital and Network. It is not in Health Centre or Public Health. It depends on Chart.

Triage a patient

1. Open Triage (“Triage assessment”).

2. On step 1 · Presentation, search for the patient and enter the chief complaint.

3. On step 2 · Vital signs, record temperature, HR, BP, SpO₂, RR, GCS, and blood glucose, and flag suspected infection where relevant.

4. Set the 5-level acuity, then select Save. The patient is routed onto the board.

Caution

Acuity 1 is the highest-priority (immediate) category — the screen surfaces a resuscitation prompt. Triage promptly and escalate to Resus where indicated.

Work the emergency board

1. Open ED Board (“Emergency board”).

2. Review the live triage board; filter as needed.

3. Open a patient to assign a clinician and cubicle, or select Triage new to add a fresh arrival.

Record a disposition

1. Open Disposition.

2. On the worklist, open the visit and choose the decision — Admit, Discharge, Transfer, or Refer.

3. For Admit, pick the destination ward; for Discharge, set follow-up. Save the disposition. To complete an admission, select Admit to ward to hand off to Veona Ward.
