Overview
What is IPD management?
IPD (in-patient department) management covers everything from the moment a patient is admitted until they leave: the admitting department and doctor, diagnosis, procedures and the final outcome. Done on paper, admission details are copied again from the OPD slip and outcomes are counted by hand at the end of the month.
In Swastik HMS, ward and casualty staff open the admission from the patient’s existing registration, so demographics are never typed twice, and every admission ends with a recorded outcome that feeds the reports.
- Admission without re-entering demographics
- Doctor registration number and diagnosis
- Plaster and operation details with dates
- Casualty admissions and brought-dead cases
- Print-ready lists and reports
Features
IPD management features
In-patient admissions and the casualty and critical care ward.
IPD Admissions
In-patient admissions start from the patient’s existing registration, so ward staff never type the same details twice. Each admission records the department, doctor and diagnosis, and is closed with a recorded outcome.
Admission from registration
Admit a registered patient without re-entering demographics.
Clinical details
Department, referring doctor, doctor registration number and disease or diagnosis.
Procedures
Record plaster and operation details, including the type and date.
Discharge outcomes
Close every admission as discharged, death or LAMA (left against medical advice).
Print-ready records
Every list and report has a print view.
Casualty & Critical Care Ward
The casualty and critical care ward uses the same admission workflow as IPD, plus the records an emergency department has to keep.
Emergency admission
Admit from the patient’s registration with department, doctor and diagnosis.
Brought-dead records
Record brought-dead cases with the date.
Outcomes
Discharge, death and LAMA outcomes, each with its date.

Casualty and critical care records
The casualty and critical care ward uses the same admission workflow as IPD, with the extra records an emergency department must keep, including brought-dead cases with dates. Casualty figures are reported separately from general IPD, so emergency workload is visible on its own.
What’s in the standard IPD module, and what can be added
The standard module covers admissions, diagnosis, procedures, casualty records, outcomes and reports. Bed and ward allocation, nursing notes, diet orders and IPD billing are not part of the standard module today; they can be added through customisation on the same patient record.
IPD records and ABDM
When the hospital is a Health Information Provider under ABDM, each IPD admission becomes a care context the patient can link to their ABHA, and discharge summaries can be shared as FHIR records with the patient’s consent. See ABDM integration.
ABDM & ABHA
ABDM integrated, out of the box
Swastik HMS is integrated with ABDM for milestone M1 (ABHA) and milestone M2 (Health Information Provider): ABHA at the counter, automatic care contexts for visits, admissions and reports, and consent-based sharing of encrypted FHIR records.
M1
ABHA at the counter
Create and verify ABHA numbers, log patients in with ABHA, and register them with Scan & Share.
M2
Health Information Provider
Visits, admissions and reports become records patients link to their ABHA and share with consent.
HPR · HFR
Health registries
Doctors linked to the Health Professional Registry and the facility to the Health Facility Registry.
