Hospital Service
Hospital Services refer to the type of treatment or surgery that a patient is or will be receiving (e.g., Oncology, Obstetrics, Cardiology). These services are configured in the Dictionary. Hospital Services are used by healthcare administrators and staff to categorize and manage patient treatments and surgeries. They are essential for organizing patient care and ensuring appropriate resource allocation. This feature is used during patient admission, placement, and throughout their stay.
