About this Product
In-patient nursing runs on the ward, but most Odoo HIS deployments stop at admission, billing, and the doctor's order. The moment a nurse needs to confirm a medication was actually given at 14:00, chart a falling blood pressure trend, or hand over twelve patients cleanly at shift change, the ERP has nothing to offer and the ward falls back to paper drug charts and a whiteboard for bed status. That gap is where medication errors, missed observations, and lost handover context live — and it is exactly what a generic off-the-shelf apps.odoo.com module or Odoo core out of the box does not close, because neither carries a real Electronic Medication Administration Record with due/given/missed state or a nursing station scoped to one ward's admitted patients.
ECOSIRE builds a Clinical Nursing & Ward Management layer directly on your existing clinical HIS/EMR and pharmacy dispensing data, so it is one system, not a bolt-on. The core is a nursing station dashboard — an OWL/QWeb view filtered by ward_id to only the patients admitted to that unit — from which nurses drive the shift. The eMAR is modelled as a nursing.medication.administration record generated from the active prescription/dispensing lines, with a computed state (due, given, missed, held) driven by @api.depends on the scheduled time and the recorded administration; an ir.cron automated action re-evaluates the schedule and flips overdue doses to missed for escalation. Vitals are captured as timestamped nursing.vitals records with a compute layer that flags out-of-range readings, rendered as a per-patient trend view; intake/output charting rolls up to a running fluid-balance total on the same admission.
Around that spine we build nursing care plans and task checklists per admission, structured SBAR-style shift handover notes (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation as discrete fields, not a free-text blob), a ward/bed occupancy board showing occupied, vacant, and cleaning states as a live kanban, patient acuity/priority flags to inform nurse staffing, and a nursing notes timeline that merges into the patient's EMR chatter (mail.thread) so clinicians see one continuous record. Overdue-medication and abnormal-vitals events raise escalation alerts via Odoo's automated actions and activity/notification system. Every model ships with ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so a nurse only ever sees their assigned ward, and the data is reachable through the standard XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API for downstream reporting or device integration. It targets Odoo 17.0, 18.0, and 19.0, Community or Enterprise — we confirm your edition during scoping because a few conveniences (studio-style tweaks, advanced approvals) differ between them.
Because this is build-to-order, nothing ships until we have agreed your scope. We start with a scoping call to map your wards, drug rounds, vitals frequency policy, and handover format, then deliver a version built to that spec: installable source in your __manifest__.py-declared module, tested on a staging copy of your database, with UAT sign-off before go-live and a rollback plan. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. Pricing starts from $999 (indicative, single-company base scope); multi-ward acuity policies, HL7/device integration for automated vitals capture, deeper localization, and migrating historical nursing records increase the quoted scope. The scoping call converts that indicative figure into a fixed quote.

Who this is for
Nursing Superintendent / Director of Nursing
Owns clinical standards across multiple wards and needs auditable medication administration, enforced observation frequencies, and consistent SBAR handover to reduce error and defend against audit. Buys the standardization and the escalation trails.
Ward Manager / Charge Nurse
Runs a single IPD unit day to day and needs a station cockpit that shows only their admitted patients, live bed status, who's overdue for a dose, and acuity flags to balance the shift. Buys the operational visibility.
Hospital IT / HIS Administrator
Already runs the core Odoo HIS and refuses another disconnected system. Needs nursing to build on the same database and models, with clean security rules and XML-RPC/JSON-RPC access for reporting. Buys the single-system integration.
Bedside Staff Nurse
The daily user charting vitals, confirming administrations, recording intake/output, and writing handover notes. Needs fast, low-friction entry that flows into the patient's EMR without duplicate data entry.
How Clinical Nursing & Ward Management Compares
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | Odoo Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) | Full due/given/missed/held state generated from your live prescriptions | Possible but you specify and test every rule yourself | Often a simplified drug chart, not true administration state | No eMAR concept at all |
| Ward-scoped nursing station | Dashboard filtered by ward to admitted patients only | Buildable, depends on your team's Odoo depth | Generic list views, rarely a true station cockpit | No nursing station view |
| SBAR shift handover | Structured discrete-field SBAR entries per handover | You design the model and views from scratch | Usually free-text notes, not structured SBAR | Only generic notes/chatter |
| Fit to your wards and policies | Built to your scope after a scoping call | Fully bespoke but on your budget and timeline | Fixed feature set, take it as shipped | Nothing to fit |
| Integration with your HIS/EMR | Same database, extends core clinical models | Depends on how it's architected | Varies; can be a loosely coupled add-on | Requires the HIS layer to exist first |
| Support and accountability | Named build, post-go-live support window, source handover | In-house team owns all support | Community or vendor forum, best-effort | Community support only |
| Total cost / time | From $999 indicative; fixed quote after scoping; one working week | Highest — full bespoke development effort | Low sticker price, high fit-gap and rework cost | Free but no nursing capability delivered |
| Odoo 17/18/19 & Community/Enterprise | Built and confirmed for your version and edition | Whatever your team targets and maintains | May lag new major versions or need paid upgrades | Ships with core but delivers none of this |
Frequently Asked Questions about Clinical Nursing & Ward Management
Is this a ready-made app I can download and install today?
No. Clinical Nursing & Ward Management is build-to-order. ECOSIRE builds it to your ward structure, drug-round policy, and observation frequencies, then installs and supports it. There is no instant download — you request a quotation, we scope, we build.
How long does delivery take?
Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. Simpler single-ward configurations land toward the shorter end; multi-ward acuity policies, device/HL7 vitals integration, or historical data migration extend the timeline. We give you a firm date with the fixed quote after the scoping call.
How does pricing and scoping work?
Pricing starts from $999 as an indicative figure for a single-company base scope. Drivers such as multiple wards, acuity-based staffing policies, automated device vitals capture, deeper localization, and migrating existing nursing records increase scope. The scoping call converts the indicative from-price into a fixed, written quote before any build starts.
Does it work with our existing Odoo HIS, and which versions?
Yes — it is built to extend your core clinical HIS/EMR and pharmacy dispensing, sharing the same database rather than running alongside it. It supports Odoo 17.0, 18.0, and 19.0 on both Community and Enterprise; we confirm your exact version and edition during scoping.
What about support and updates after go-live?
Every build includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration adjustments. Because you receive the full source and git repository, you are never locked in. Version upgrades (e.g. moving to a newer Odoo major release) or new capabilities are scoped as follow-on work.
How is patient data kept isolated between wards and roles?
Access is enforced with `ir.model.access.csv` model permissions plus record rules, so a nurse sees only the patients on their assigned ward and roles like ward manager or superintendent get the wider view. All models remain reachable through the standard XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API for your own secured reporting.
Can it capture vitals automatically from bedside monitors?
That is an integration we can scope. The base build captures vitals as manual timestamped records with trend and out-of-range flagging. Connecting bedside monitors or an HL7 feed for automated capture is additional integration work that we quote as part of the scope.
