• logistics for clinics - managing arrival and departure activities and management of waiting rooms
• patient flow unit functionality, information supporting hospital resource management
• design of patient lists such as ward, clinic and service-based lists
• functions to support interhospital transfers and transport logistics, including Ambulance
• the management of physical medical records when not in storage (for active episodes of care)
• the design of indicators of the current logistics status of the patient in relevant on-screen locations
• "unusual" causes of patient movement such as death or Discharged Against Medical Advice (DAMA)
• clinical transitions of care support
• patient wayfinding support
• management of death, deceased patients on arrival, coronial death reporting.
