How to
Put a chronic patient on the schedule
- Dialysis › Chronic Schedules › New: patient, days of the week, shift, machine, the standing prescription.
- Sessions are generated for the coming weeks; the unit sees who is due today.
Run a session
- Open today’s session; Start with the pre-weight and vitals; confirm the prescription.
- Record observations hourly; note complications (hypotension, cramps, access problems).
- End with the post-weight; the fluid removed computes; the session is charged to the visit or the package.
Maintain machines
- Dialysis › Machines: each machine with its disinfection log and hours; maintenance requests go to the Maintenance app.
