Medication administration, vitals and care plans — at the bedside.

Benefits

What your nursing team gains from day one.

Barcode medication administration record (MAR)

Scan the patient wristband and the medication barcode to enforce the five rights at the bedside — eliminating manual transcription and wrong-patient medication errors.

Vital signs charting with alert thresholds

Record temperature, blood pressure, pulse, SpO2, respiratory rate and pain score — configurable alert ranges notify the nurse and attending physician of deteriorating values in real time.

Nursing care plans

Evidence-based care plan templates linked to nursing diagnoses; goals, interventions and expected outcomes documented and tracked over the patient's stay.

Patient observation records

Structured nursing assessment forms — neurological, falls risk, pressure injury, pain and wound assessment — all stored in the patient EMR and auditable for accreditation.

Shift handover notes

Structured shift handover note generated from the patient's current status, outstanding tasks and active care plan — ensuring continuity of care between nursing shifts without verbal-only handovers.

Intake and output tracking

Fluid balance charting for oral, IV and drain volumes; cumulative totals updated in real time and visible to the clinical team for accurate fluid management decisions.

Feature highlights

Safer nursing care, fully documented at the point of care.

Medication administration with barcode verification

  • Wristband and medication barcode scan at the bedside

Vital signs with configurable alert ranges

  • Multi-parameter vital signs entry (BP, HR, Temp, SpO2, RR, pain)
  • Per-patient and per-ward configurable alert thresholds
  • NEWS2 early warning score auto-calculation
  • Trend chart for serial observations over admission

Nursing assessment forms

  • Admission nursing assessment with body systems review
  • Falls risk (Morse scale) and pressure injury (Braden scale)
  • Pain assessment and wound assessment documentation
  • Neurological observation chart (GCS, pupils)

Care plan creation and progress notes

  • NANDA-linked nursing diagnosis and care plan templates
  • Goal setting with target dates and outcome criteria
  • Nursing progress notes with time-stamped documentation
  • Care plan review and update workflow per shift

Shift handover summary

  • Auto-generated handover note from patient data
  • Outstanding tasks, pending results and active alerts listed
  • Nurse-to-nurse acknowledgement with digital signature
  • Handover history stored in patient record for audit

Fluid balance and intake-output

  • Visible to physician in Workbench and patient EMR
Part of metaSOFT HMS

Nurse Workbench is one of 20+ integrated modules on the metaSOFT HMS platform — one database, one patient record, one source of truth.

Nursing documentation has traditionally been duplicated — paper at the bedside, then re-entered into a system. The metaSOFT Nurse Workbench eliminates this duplication entirely. Every vital sign, care note and medication administration is recorded once at the point of care and immediately visible to the clinical team, the physician workbench and the EMR.

The barcode MAR closes the medication safety loop that begins with the physician's e-prescription and ends with the bedside scan confirmation. Falls risk assessments, pressure injury scores and fluid balance charts are generated automatically from structured data — saving documentation time and improving data quality for accreditation bodies.
