MedSurg, point-of-care for the ward
Bedside Capture, Built for the Ward.
Most point-of-care systems are built around the OR, where the case is the unit, the case cart is prepared in advance, and the workflow is tightly choreographed. The ward is none of those things. MedSurg is point-of-care capture redesigned for the medical-surgical unit: light-touch scanning at the bedside, integration with the medications and ward stock the unit already runs on, and a workflow that respects how busy a nurse's shift actually is.
Wards see the most supplies and the least visibility.
Medical-surgical units consume the largest volume of clinical supplies in any hospital and capture the least data about it. Point-of-care workflows built around the OR struggle in a ward setting where the unit is not a case, the supply mix is different, and the clinical team has competing demands every minute. MedSurg closes that gap with a ward-native workflow.
The Problem
Wards consume the largest volume of clinical supplies in any hospital and capture the least data about it. OR-shaped point-of-care workflows are too heavy for the bedside rhythm, so ward consumption ends up estimated rather than captured, and the data the broader hospital relies on has a ward-shaped hole in it.
The Capability
MedSurg is a ward-native point-of-care workflow built around bedside scanning, ward stock replenishment cycles, and integration with the medications, dispensers and stock locations the ward already runs. The capture is light-touch enough to fit into a shift rather than compete with it.
The Outcome
Ward consumption is captured against patient and time for the first time, supply chain has visibility into the highest-volume part of the hospital, and ward teams do not add a job to the shift.

Where Point-of-Care Capture Meets the Ward
MedSurg is the ward-native workflow within Point of Care. The parent product gives the platform and the capture model; MedSurg adapts that capture to a setting where the team is busy and the supply mix is broad.

“Our wards were the part of the hospital we knew least about, because the point-of-care systems we had tried were built for the OR and the nurses pushed back. MedSurg fitted into the shift rather than around it, and the consumption picture finally has the wards in it.”

Frequently Asked Questions
MedSurg is the Genesis-branded feature within Point of Care that extends point-of-care capture from the OR into the medical-surgical unit setting. It is point-of-care redesigned for the bedside rhythm of the ward, not the choreographed pace of the OR.
Point of Care is the platform and the capture model, originally built around the OR. MedSurg is the ward-specific feature that adapts that model to bedside care: lighter-touch scanning, broader supply mix, integration with the medications and ward stock the unit runs on. You do not buy MedSurg without Point of Care.
The broad supply mix a ward uses every shift: dressings, IV consumables, infection prevention items, mobility aids, single-use medical devices, ward-held medications where pharmacy workflows allow. The capture is patient-attributed wherever the supply touches the patient.
No. The workflow is designed to take seconds per scan and fit into existing bedside rhythms, not add a step on top of them. Where the scan replaces a manual log the time saving is net positive; where it adds capture that did not exist before, the addition is measured in seconds, not minutes.
Medication administration records integrate with MedSurg through production-grade integrations, so the data captured at the bedside reconciles against the patient record without rekeying. Where the medication administration system already captures the supply, MedSurg does not duplicate the work.
Stock used at the ward level rather than against a specific patient is captured as ward-level consumption, feeding replenishment and consumption analytics without forcing a false patient attribution.
Dispenser pulls are captured in the dispenser system and reconciled against patient and time through linked-system integration. The supply chain sees one consumption picture, whether the item came from the cabinet or from open stock.
Mobile scanning on iOS and Android, plus tablets at fixed bedside locations. We work with the hardware the ward already runs where possible, and recommend specific devices where the bedside workflow benefits from them.
Captured bedside use flows to the EHR for patient record and charge capture, the same way Point of Care integrates from the OR. Where ward stock is patient-attributed, the EHR sees it; where it is ward-level, the data stays in supply chain analytics.
Surgery, Track All is the case-completeness workflow for the OR; MedSurg is the bedside-capture workflow for the ward. Both extend Point of Care into the setting that matters most for that team. They are complementary, and most hospitals run both.
