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

Private hospital ICUs and HDUs
Tertiary centres adding structured critical care documentation
Facilities with theatre + ICU needing one record
Medical directors evaluating ICU-ready HMS vendors

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.
