ICU & Critical Care
ICU software with scoring, flagging and nurse handover
NEWS2, SOFA and FASTHUG-BID built in — abnormal vitals flagged at entry, doctor plans become nurse tasks, full audit trail for the sickest patients.
ICU software is not a generic EMR with a bed icon. Critical care teams need deterioration scores, organ-support documentation, fluid balance, neuro charting and a reliable handoff from the intensivist to the bedside nurse. DawaHQ ships ICU workflows with reference ranges on every numeric input, NEWS2 and SOFA scoring, FASTHUG-BID checklists and an audit trail of who changed what — designed for Nigerian hospitals running private ICUs, HDUs and step-down units.
Workflow fit
The ICU module connects to the same patient record as OPD and IPD — admission from emergency or theatre carries forward labs, imaging and medications. Theatre and dialysis modules integrate where enabled so critical care is not an island.
What DawaHQ delivers
NEWS2 & SOFA scoring
National Early Warning Score 2 and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment calculated from charted vitals — trends visible on the ICU dashboard.
FASTHUG-BID rounds
Structured daily ICU checklist — feeding, analgesia, sedation, thromboprophylaxis, head-up position, ulcer prophylaxis, glycaemic control, indwelling devices, delirium.
Abnormal-value flagging
GCS, SpO2, BP, lactate and other inputs show normal ranges; borderline, abnormal and critical values are flagged with visual cues.
Doctor → nurse handover
Intensivist plan items become actionable nursing tasks — MAR, fluids and monitoring without duplicate entry.
Fluid balance & neuro chart
Intake/output tracking and neurological observations on the nursing chart — receiving surface for ICU orders.
Audit trail
Who documented, who overrode, when results were released — critical for medico-legal review and quality committees.
Who this is for
Frequently asked questions
What ICU scores does DawaHQ support?
NEWS2, SOFA and FASTHUG-BID are implemented with reference ranges sourced from WHO/NICE-aligned clinical definitions. Scores update as vitals and labs are charted.
How is ICU software different from general EMR?
ICU workflows need scoring, critical-value thresholds, structured nursing charts and handoff from doctor orders to bedside tasks. DawaHQ critical care module adds these on top of the hospital EMR — not a separate silo.
Can we demo ICU workflows before full HMS rollout?
Yes. Book a demo focused on critical care — we walk through admission, scoring, nursing chart and audit trail on staging data.
