Platform module
Inpatient Care, Theatre & Blood Bank
Early-warning scores that flag a deteriorating patient, the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, and a blood bank that will not release an unscreened unit.
What it is
Most avoidable inpatient deaths are preceded by hours of abnormal vital signs that nobody added up. GSHS scores every set of observations with NEWS2 the moment it is saved and tells the nurse what response is required.
In theatre, each phase of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist must be completed in order. In the blood bank, a unit stays in quarantine until HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and VDRL are all non-reactive.

Why teams value it
NEWS2 scoring
Calculated on save, with the required clinical response.
Trend charts
Temperature, pulse, BP, SpO₂ and score over time.
Fluid balance
24-hour intake, output and net balance.
Safe theatre
Sign in, time out, sign out — then Aldrete recovery.
Deterioration is visible, not buried in a chart
Nurses enter respiratory rate, SpO₂, oxygen, temperature, blood pressure, pulse and consciousness. GSHS scores it immediately and shows low, medium or high risk with the escalation the score demands.
- Royal College of Physicians NEWS2 scale
- Single red parameter flagged separately
- Live updates for everyone viewing the admission
No skipping straight to the incision
Book a suite with the surgeon, anaesthetist and scrub nurse. Each checklist phase requires every item ticked before it can be confirmed, and recovery uses the Aldrete score to decide discharge from PACU.
- Phases completed strictly in order
- Who confirmed each phase, and when
- Patient leaves recovery at Aldrete 9 or above
Screened, grouped and traceable
Units are received into quarantine, released only when all four screens are non-reactive, and discarded automatically on a reactive result. Cross-match requests are matched to available units of the right group, and bedside transfusion observations are recorded.
- Live stock by ABO and Rh group
- Expired units never offered
- Unit-to-patient traceability
