An outpatient visit ends when the patient leaves the room. An inpatient stay does not, and that is where a clinic that grew a few beds usually feels the strain. Who is in which bed, what medicine is due on the ward at 2 pm, which patient is nil by mouth, whether theatre is running late, and whether the discharge summary was actually signed all become questions that need an answer without walking the floor. This guide covers the five pieces we think a small hospital or nursing home should sort out first, and what CuraVerto's inpatient module provides for each.
CuraVerto's inpatient care module is a Plus plan feature at ₹49,999 per year. It is one of the features that the platform gates strictly to Plus, the same way the IVF module is: the clinic needs to be on the Plus tier and have the module enabled on its account, and a module setting alone does not unlock it on a lower plan. The Essential plan at ₹9,999 and the Pro plan at ₹24,999 do not include it. The optional clinical floor and operation theatre areas are switched on through their own settings. The module is built and tested, and we describe it as available for scoping with a walkthrough, not as something to switch on blind.
The home screen of the inpatient area is a bed board. Each bed shows its state, whether vacant, occupied, reserved, being cleaned or blocked, grouped by ward. A bed that has been vacated shows as being cleaned with how long it has been waiting, and a visible Mark clean button returns it to use. An attention list sits alongside the board and pulls forward what needs a person, such as late ward tasks and overdue co-signatures, so the ward manager works from a list instead of a tour.
Beds also carry a category, and each category has a price multiplier with an optional fixed override. That means a private room and a general ward bed are priced from the same rate structure, and the bill is calculated from the category rather than typed by hand.
The ward tasks screen shows every nurse task due in a ward on a chosen date and shift, grouped by patient. Shifts are Morning from 08:00 to 14:00, Afternoon from 14:00 to 20:00 and Night from 20:00 to 08:00 the next day, computed in the clinic's time zone rather than the browser's. It is a working view for a charge nurse or ward manager, separate from the tasks tab on a single patient's stay. Medicine administration windows and vitals sit in the same task queue, and the bed board surfaces late tasks and abnormal vitals as flags.
The diet list shows every admitted patient with their current diet, any nil-by-mouth instruction and notes for the kitchen, grouped by ward and bed, with a ward filter. Print produces a plain copy that needs no colour. Rows changed since the last print are marked CHANGED in words, and a separate, visible button records the list as sent to the kitchen. Printing does not mark anything sent, because a browser cannot tell a printed page from a cancelled print dialog. On a patient's stay, a nil-by-mouth banner shows in red while the instruction is active and in amber when it is upcoming.
The theatre list shows one section per theatre for the day, with each case in list order: planned start and end, expected start when earlier cases have pushed it back, and the gates still missing before the patient is wheeled in. Booking a case is checked against theatre and doctor availability by the database, and an overbook needs a stated reason and a role that is allowed to overbook. The list can be reordered with visible Up and Down buttons and printed per theatre. The module also holds the anaesthesia record, sign-out and post-op charges, and each of those is a separate area to review during scoping.
A routine discharge in CuraVerto expects a signed discharge summary, and the stay's final bill to be settled and linked before the stay is finished. If the summary is not signed, the discharge is refused with a message to sign it first, or to ask an admin to discharge without it, so an override is a deliberate act by an authorised person rather than a default. Amendments to a signed summary create a new version instead of editing history. When a summary is signed, the PDF can be sent to the patient over WhatsApp.
| Ward question | Where it is answered in CuraVerto |
|---|---|
| Which beds are free right now? | Bed board: vacant, occupied, reserved, cleaning, blocked |
| What is due on the ward this shift? | Ward tasks screen: Morning, Afternoon or Night, grouped by patient |
| What is the kitchen sending, and what changed? | Diet list with CHANGED marks and a mark-as-sent button |
| Is theatre running late, and what is missing? | OT day list with expected start and outstanding gates |
| Can this patient go home? | Discharge screen: signed summary and settled final bill |
This post describes the bed board, ward tasks, diet list, theatre list and discharge. It does not claim NABH accreditation outcomes, and it does not walk through insurance or TPA billing; if cashless billing matters to you, raise it during scoping so it can be shown live rather than summarised here. A hospital moving from OPD to IPD should also expect a setup phase for wards, bed categories, rate cards and staff roles before the first admission.
CuraVerto's inpatient care is a Plus plan feature at ₹49,999 per year. It is gated strictly to the Plus tier, like the IVF module, so the clinic needs to be on Plus and have the module enabled on its account. It is not included in the Essential or Pro plans.
The bed board shows every bed grouped by ward with its state: vacant, occupied, reserved, being cleaned or blocked. A vacated bed shows how long it has waited to be cleaned and has a Mark clean button, and an attention list beside it highlights items such as late ward tasks and overdue co-signatures.
The ward tasks screen lists every nurse task due in a ward for a chosen date and shift, grouped by patient. Shifts run Morning 08:00 to 14:00, Afternoon 14:00 to 20:00 and Night 20:00 to 08:00 the next day, in the clinic's time zone. Medicine windows and vitals are part of the same queue.
A routine discharge requires a signed discharge summary and a settled final bill. If the summary is unsigned, the system asks for it to be signed first, or for an admin to discharge without it, so skipping it is a deliberate override. Amendments to a signed summary are saved as new versions.
Yes. The diet list shows each admitted patient with their diet, nil-by-mouth instruction and kitchen notes, grouped by ward and bed. Rows that changed since the last print are marked CHANGED in words, and a separate button records the list as sent to the kitchen.
CuraVerto's inpatient module covers the bed board, ward tasks by shift, kitchen diet list, theatre day list and gated discharge on one record. It is part of the Plus plan at ₹49,999 per year and is scoped with a walkthrough first.
