Role-Based Quick Reference Guide

Use this section as an at-a-glance workstation reference card. Detailed operational procedures are documented in their respective module chapters.


1. Hospital Receptionist

Key Clinical ActionsCommon Issues & Solutions
Search MPI first before creating any new patient record — always.
• Use Path B (MPI screen) whenever there is near-duplicate suspicion.
Assign Doctor within the patient view to open an OPD encounter.
Emergency cases: Perform minimum rapid registration first; complete full demographics later.
Unconscious / trauma patients: Tick the "Unknown Patient" checkbox.
Patient already exists (409 Conflict): Open and use the existing record.
OPD encounter refused: Check if patient has an active Emergency or Inpatient encounter already open.
MEWS ≥ 5 alert fires: Alert appears after vital signs entered; attend and escalate to treating doctor immediately.

2. Doctor / Medical Officer

Key Clinical ActionsCommon Issues & Solutions
Confirm patient banner (Name, DOB, Moana ID, allergies) before every clinical action.
Review active allergies on the banner before prescribing any medication.
SOAP note: Complete all four sections (S, O, A, P) before clicking Submit.
ICD-10 coded diagnosis is mandatory in the Assessment section.
Drug warnings at prescribing: Advisory only — enforced hard stop occurs at Pharmacy dispensing.
Review ALL diagnostic results (Lab, PACS) before authorizing clinical discharge.
Drug-allergy advisory fires: Review warning and select an approved clinical alternative.
STAT / Critical result alert: Open immediately, review values, and acknowledge in system.
SOAP note submission blocked: Verify that all four sections (S, O, A, P) contain non-empty text and ICD-10 code is present.

3. Ward Nurse / Midwife

Key Clinical ActionsCommon Issues & Solutions
NEWS2 alert ≥ 7: Attend patient FIRST, call doctor directly, then acknowledge in system.
Five Rights Check: Confirm Right Patient, Drug, Dose, Route, Time before every dose.
Medication tasks: Always administer through the eMAR endpoint, never via the generic "Complete" button.
Shift handover: Review AI draft summary carefully; correct errors; click "End Shift & Handover" to save.
ICU alerts are non-durable: Regularly check active ICU monitors and dashboards.
NEWS2 does not fire on single vital: NEWS2 requires an aggregate score of ≥ 7 across all 5 parameters; escalate single acute vitals via verbal channels.
AI handover contains inaccuracy: Edit the draft directly in the handover panel before submitting.
Medication task error: Route administration through the eMAR module to enforce the Five Rights check.

4. Pharmacist / Senior Pharmacist

Key Clinical ActionsCommon Issues & Solutions
Four-stage lifecycle: Verify → Prepare → Final Check (different staff) → Dispense.
Hard stop at dispensing: Contact prescribing doctor; do not attempt to bypass.
Four-eyes rule: The staff member who prepares cannot perform the final check.
Controlled drugs: Mandatory secondary witness sign-off via 5-minute cryptographic token.
Physical stock check: Reconcile physical inventory counts at every controlled drug transaction.
Hard stop blocks dispensing (403): Contact prescribing doctor to review and acknowledge alert.
Same user attempts prepare and check: System blocks action; assign a different qualified pharmacist for final check.
Controlled drug discrepancy: System automatically opens an investigation; enter root cause and outcome.

5. Laboratory Scientist / Supervisor

Key Clinical ActionsCommon Issues & Solutions
Approve ≠ Dispatch: Approving in LIS validates test; doctor only sees results AFTER the separate Dispatch step.
Critical panic results: Make direct verbal phone contact with doctor BEFORE dispatch.
Notify Clinician modal: Document contact name, time, notification method, and read-back.
30-minute auto-escalation: System alerts department head if doctor fails to acknowledge within 30 min.
Offline limitation: Laboratory CPOE orders cannot be placed offline — use physical paper forms.
Result not showing in doctor chart: Supervisor must complete the separate Dispatch action in Moana-LIS.
Clinically implausible result: Quarantine the batch result, request a fresh redraw, and inform doctor.
Doctor not responding to critical alert: Call clinical department head or on-call emergency physician.

6. Radiologist / Imaging Specialist

Key Clinical ActionsCommon Issues & Solutions
Three mandatory report sections: Findings, Impression, Recommendations are all required.
Critical imaging finding: Call ordering clinician BEFORE releasing formal report.
Document verbal call directly in report text ("Critical finding communicated to Dr. [Name] at [Time]").
Two-step model: Report release and doctor acknowledgment are separate, independently timestamped events.
PACS sync: Allow ~60 seconds for images to arrive in OHIF after modality DICOM C-STORE.
Study not visible in viewer: Wait 60–90 seconds for DICOM sync; refresh the Radiology Worklist.
Cannot release report: Verify that Findings, Impression, and Recommendations all have content.
Doctor not acknowledging: Contact ordering clinician directly; escalate to department lead if needed.
