Guide
Observation Service
The Observation Service stores vitals, labs and clinical observations with normalised units and real-time critical-value flagging — the path panic labs take before the clinician alert panel.
Patient safety path
Panic values must flag in-process. Batch scoring is too slow for ORU results that need immediate clinician attention.
