Our Colourful Board

This is our Ward 21 board... its FULL :) .. this is usual, for us, and with 28 patients.. we have at least 2 nurses working in one shift.

As you can see from the above picture, we have few colours on board.. those are the codes :). Usually early in the morning when the Medical Officers come to start their round, they will stop by at our counter and check on their patients according to the colours. 

As far as I know, the ward was actually coded BAY by BAY (Bay is the bigger section of the beds cubicle), but some patients has their priority, for e.g. needs of oxygen bed etc, therefore, its all jumbled up and scattered all over, but then again, we are trying our best to put the same colour code in one BAY as, each bay is usually being delegated to one NURSE. (eh macam tunggang tebalik kan ayat ku heheh). 

Therefore when a group of ONE colour is placed in one bay, that will make us easier, to follow the doctor's when they are doing their routine rounds, especially, when the foreign doctors who need translation are doing their rounds, 'cos when they don't see any nurse accompanying them they'll start "NURSE! WHo's doing rounds with me?" hahaha.. kesian kan.. :)

So that's all for now, re: Colour Coding.. I'll update some more on introduction to our Ward Management system ... (The Basic ones lah hehehe)
