Inpatient management
From admission to discharge, one connected stay.
OctoMediCare's inpatient management software keeps every admitted patient's stay in one record: the admission, the ward and bed, the care delivered and the discharge, with charges flowing to billing as they happen.
- Admissions opened from the outpatient visit or the front desk
- Bed allocation with live ward visibility
- Inpatient records shared by the care team
- Discharge connected to the final bill

The problem
Inpatient stays fall apart at the handoffs.
An admitted patient passes through more hands than any outpatient. When each step lives on its own paper or spreadsheet, the hospital loses track of the full stay.
-
Admission details typed twice
The doctor decides to admit, then the admissions desk starts a new file and asks the family the same questions again.
-
Nobody sure which bed is free
Staff phone each ward to find an empty bed while the patient waits in the corridor or the emergency room.
-
A stay spread across folders
Notes, orders and results for one admission end up in different places, so the next shift reads half the story.
-
Discharge held up by the bill
Charges from the ward, pharmacy and lab are collected by hand at the end, and the family waits while finance catches up.
How it works
Four stages of a stay, recorded in one place.
The same patient record follows the stay from the decision to admit until the patient goes home.
- 1
Admit
Open an admission from the patient's existing record, so demographics, history and the referring consultation are already there.
- 2
Allocate a ward and bed
Choose from beds shown as available, and the ward can see the incoming patient straight away.
- 3
Deliver inpatient care
The care team works in the inpatient record through the stay, so the next shift reads the same information as the last.
- 4
Discharge and bill
Close the admission and settle a bill that is connected to the services recorded during the stay.
What you get
Inpatient management software built around the stay.
-
Admissions
Start an admission from the patient's existing record instead of opening a new paper file.
-
Inpatient records
One record per admission that the care team reads and updates, instead of a paper file at the bedside.
-
Bed allocation
Assign a bed from current availability and keep the ward informed of who is arriving.
-
Ward visibility
See each ward's patients and occupied beds at a glance, from the ward itself or from management.
-
Inpatient care workflows
Support for the daily care of admitted patients, recorded against the admission they belong to.
-
Inpatient billing
Inpatient billing is connected to patient billing and insurance co-pay, so the stay can be settled at discharge.
Why it matters
Fewer phone calls, faster discharges, a clearer picture of the wards.
When admission, care and billing share one record, staff stop chasing information between floors. The doctor on the next shift reads the whole stay, not a summary scribbled on a handover sheet.
For hospital directors, it means seeing how full each ward is and which discharges are pending, without waiting for an end-of-day report.
- No second registration at admission
- Bed status visible to wards and managers
- Discharge bill prepared from recorded activity
- Every inpatient action recorded with an audit trail

We will match the inpatient workflow to your hospital.
Every hospital runs its wards differently. In the demo we will walk through admissions, bed allocation, care and discharge using your own wards and departments, and show exactly which steps OctoMediCare covers today.
Frequently asked questions
Can a patient be admitted directly from an outpatient consultation?
Yes. The admission starts from the patient's existing record, so the consultation, history and registration details carry over instead of being entered again.
Does inpatient management software connect to billing in OctoMediCare?
Yes. Inpatient billing is part of the same platform, so services recorded during the stay can be billed to the patient or their insurer without re-keying charges.
Is this suitable for a small hospital or a day-care unit with a few beds?
The same admission, bed and discharge workflow applies whether you have one ward or several. We will show how it fits your size and setup during the demo.
Can we manage inpatients across more than one branch?
OctoMediCare manages all branches centrally, with branch-level reporting and role-based access. We can walk through a multi-site inpatient setup in the demo.
