Ward Health

Ward is a patient observation system with proof of physical presence. Before a staff member documents a patient observation, Ward confirms they are physically at the bedside, so your rounding records are verifiable, on time, and ready for any audit. WHY WARD Manual rounding documentation is built on trust. Ward replaces trust with proof: Bluetooth wristbands and an on-premise hub verify that staff are within range before an observation is recorded. Verified checks are flagged, and overrides require a documented reason. The result is a presence record, not a self-reported one. FEATURES - Proximity-verified observations: confirm presence, then document in one tap with quick templates built for speed and gloved hands. - 1:1 continuous observation: a purpose-built screen with a live coverage timer and a color-coded activity strip that makes handoffs clear. - Vitals with automatic abnormal-value detection that flags out-of-range readings and prompts follow-up. - Standardized, auto-scored assessments: C-SSRS, CIWA-Ar, COWS, PHQ-9, Morse Fall Scale, and Braden Scale. - Real-time alerts that escalate through the chain of command until acknowledged. - Push notifications that reach assigned and on-call staff at their escalation level. - Shift handoffs that carry forward, with flagged concerns that must be acknowledged before a shift can start. - Environment of Care rounds with QR check-in and automatic work-order generation. - Elopement detection and geofencing using Bluetooth wristbands and fixed receivers. - On-time-rate trends, alert response times, and staff performance, exportable as CSV. - Works offline: observations and vitals queue locally and sync automatically. - Bidirectional EMR sync over FHIR and HL7: census in, observations and vitals out. BUILT FOR HIGH-ACUITY CARE Ward is designed for units where observation compliance is critical to patient safety: psychiatric and behavioral health, substance-use treatment, med-surg, and long-term care. SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE HIPAA-compliant architecture, with encryption in transit and at rest, full audit logging, multi-tenant isolation, and multi-factor authentication for leadership roles. ABOUT ACCESS Ward works with the Ward sensor system (Bluetooth wristbands and an on-premise hub) for automatic proximity verification. Where sensors are unavailable, staff document with a recorded manual override. Ward is provided to healthcare facilities; staff accounts are issued by your organization.
