1. Clinic Feed & Dashboard Workspace

When staff log into Medaius or navigate to the Dashboard feed, they are presented with an interactive team communication center:

Core Sections of the Clinic Workspace

• Feed Stream: Chronological timeline of clinical updates, policies, shift announcements, and case discussions.
• Pinned & Urgent Badges: Critical clinical guidelines or emergency alerts are pinned at the top with prominent 📌 Pinned or 🔴 Urgent badges.
• Quick Access Navigation: Direct shortcuts on the left for Patients, Groups, Practitioners, Appointments, Encounters, and Billing.
• Patient Overview Widget: Real-time snapshot of active patients (e.g., 2,903 total, 602 new this month), with demographic breakdowns.
• Pending Documentation: Alerts doctors to incomplete draft encounters requiring review and sign-off.
• Pending Form Submissions: Real-time queue of patient-submitted questionnaires (e.g., DASS 21, Diabetes Follow-up) awaiting clinical triage.

3. Threaded Discussions & Reactions

To keep clinical dialogue focused and organized without cluttering the main timeline:

• Threaded Comments: Click the speech bubble icon below any announcement to read or leave replies. Discussions nest cleanly to maintain context.
• Emoji Reactions: React with 👍, ❤️, or other emojis to quickly acknowledge protocol updates or celebrate team achievements.
• Read & View Counters: View eye-icon counters (e.g., 👁️ 12) to verify how many staff members have viewed critical updates.
