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 Actions | Common 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 Actions | Common 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 Actions | Common 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 Actions | Common 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 Actions | Common 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 Actions | Common 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. |
