Replaces · Your census spreadsheet

The spreadsheet is free. Everything it costs you is not.

A whiteboard at the nursing station, a spreadsheet someone updates, and an EHR that learns about admissions later. Three records of the same census, and at month end someone decides which one the claim is built from.

See what it costs

Bed-days derived, not assembled. The census becomes a view of the record.

The real invoice

What it costs, including the parts that never appear on one.

The subscription is the visible line. Everything marked hidden below is paid in staff hours or in revenue that quietly never arrives.

Illustrative. Subscription ranges are typical rather than quoted, and the hour estimates come from the programs we built this with. Your numbers will differ — the point is which lines are on the invoice and which are not.

Where it breaks

Four seams, all of them at the same boundary.

Three records, one census

The board, the spreadsheet and the chart disagree by the afternoon, and nothing arbitrates between them.

The claim is built from a guess

Bed-days come from whichever source looked most complete at month end.

Availability is a phone call

An intake coordinator cannot answer a referring hospital without interrupting the unit.

No history

A spreadsheet overwritten daily cannot tell you who occupied which bed on a date six months ago.

Why the spreadsheet persists

It is fast, everyone understands it, and it costs nothing. Those are real advantages, and any replacement that is slower to update at the nursing station will simply be ignored in favour of the board. Which is why this has to be an event on the record rather than a form someone fills in.

Switching

What moving actually involves.

No implementation fee on Solo or Group Practice. Larger migrations with historical data are quoted separately.

Model the building

Units, rooms and beds with gender, level of care and special-use designations.

Step 1
Load the current census

Who is in which bed today, with admission dates and expected discharges.

Step 2
Move admissions and discharges onto the record

The board updates because the chart changed, not the other way around.

Step 3
Reconcile one month

Run bed-days from the census against billed days. That gap is the argument.

Step 4

Free is the most expensive pricing model here

Two to three days a month of reconciliation, unbilled days nobody counts, billed days you cannot evidence, and a record that does not exist when an incident review asks for it.
