How it works
We calculate a priority score
Time open relative to your threshold, patient impact, ownership status, and task type are each weighted and combined into a single 0-100 priority score.
Get a clear escalate-or-monitor call
Tasks that pass your threshold or carry high impact get an explicit escalation recommendation instead of sitting in a generic queue.

Frequently asked questions
Is Ward Task medical or clinical advice?
No. This is an operational task-prioritisation aid for non-emergency ward operations, not medical or clinical guidance, and it does not store or transmit real patient data — the calculation runs entirely in your browser.
How is the escalation threshold used?
You set the threshold per task type based on your ward's own policy. The score compares hours open against that threshold, so the same task ages into a higher priority the longer it goes unresolved relative to your own standard.
Why does an unassigned task score higher?
Tasks without a named owner are more likely to be forgotten, so lack of ownership adds directly to the priority score even if the task itself is otherwise low-impact.
Does Ward Task handle clinical or emergency tasks?
No, it's explicitly scoped to non-emergency operational tasks like facilities, administrative, and non-clinical comfort/care support items. Emergency and clinical prioritisation should follow your facility's clinical protocols, not this tool.
Can this replace our ward task management system?
No. This is a quick manual scoring check for a single task. A dedicated ward management system would track every open task automatically and apply this kind of logic across the whole ward.
