Clinical Workflows

This section explains how clinical staff use Vigil for daily operations.

Overview​

Vigil supports these clinical workflows:

  • Observations - Documenting patient checks with proximity verification
  • Vitals - Recording and monitoring vital signs
  • Assessments - Completing standardized clinical assessments
  • Alerts - Responding to and resolving alerts
  • Shift Management - Managing assignments and handoffs
  • EOC Rounds - Environment of care inspections

Workflow Design​

Vigil workflows are designed around three principles:

1. Verify Before Document​

Staff must prove they were physically present before documenting. This is achieved through:

  • UWB/BLE proximity sensors
  • Manual override with reason documentation (when sensors unavailable)

2. Minimize Taps​

The mobile interface prioritizes speed:

  • Quick templates for common observations
  • Auto-advance to next patient
  • Large touch targets for gloved hands

3. Real-Time Visibility​

Supervisors see unit status in real-time:

  • Dashboard updates instantly when observations are documented
  • Alerts create and escalate automatically
  • Compliance metrics recalculate continuously
