Automated Estimated Discharge Date Updates
Every hour, WebRun opens Ensocare to check every active patient's estimated discharge date, updates the shared Google Sheet census the whole team references, and posts a Teams alert whenever a date changes so nursing, case management, and post-acute liaisons are all planning around the same number.
How do I keep the whole care team aligned when an estimated discharge date changes?
WebRun checks every active patient's estimated discharge date in Ensocare each hour, updates the shared Google Sheet census the whole team references, and posts a Teams alert naming the patient, the old date, and the new date whenever one changes, so nursing, case management, and post-acute liaisons always plan around the same current number.
- The whole care team plans around the same current discharge date
- Date changes reach Teams within the hour instead of at shift change
- The census sheet stays current without anyone updating it by hand
Built for Hospital case managers · nursing leadership · post-acute liaisons · discharge planning directors

Questions, answered
Does it change the estimated discharge date itself?
No. It only reads the date your care team sets in Ensocare, updates the shared sheet to match, and alerts Teams when it moves. Setting the date stays a clinical decision.
Will it alert on every patient every run, even with no change?
No. It only posts a Teams alert for a date that actually moved since the last run, so the channel is not flooded with unchanged patients.
Who can see the updated census?
Anyone with access to the shared Google Sheet, so nursing, case management, and post-acute liaisons are all working from the same current dates.
