Automated Care Logistics Census Forecasting
Every morning, WebRun opens Care Logistics, projects tomorrow's likely census per unit from scheduled admissions, expected discharges, and pending transfers, posts the full forecast brief to Microsoft Teams for the house supervisor and charge nurses, and texts a one line summary to the on call bed control lead through Twilio.

Questions, answered
Is this forecast shared with anyone outside the hospital?
No. The forecast brief and the SMS summary both stay internal, going only to your house supervisor, charge nurses, and on call bed control lead.
How is tomorrow's census actually projected?
It adds up scheduled admissions and pending transfers, subtracts expected discharges already noted in Care Logistics, and applies that math per unit, not just hospital wide.
What if several transfers are still unconfirmed the night before?
The brief labels its confidence as medium or low whenever a meaningful share of the projection depends on unconfirmed transfers, so your team knows how much to trust the number.
