Features in this group (10)
For each feature we describe what it does and how it helps the manager, the head nurse, the carers, the finance team and families.
Medication chart (prescribed medicines)
What it does: A resident's regular and as-needed (PRN) medicines are chosen from the official, regularly updated NEAK drug list, and the active ingredient fills in automatically. You can set the time of day, how often each medicine is given and which doctor prescribed it. If a medicine clashes with one of the resident's allergies, GIRBO flags it in red, and it also warns you if a medicine has been added twice. Every change is recorded.
Why it helps the home: The doctor's prescription goes onto the chart accurately, with no handwriting to decipher, and an allergy clash is caught before anything is given.
Medication round (eMAR)
What it does: In the electronic medication administration record (eMAR), the nurse ticks off on a phone or tablet what was given during the medication round, at every round (for example morning, midday and evening) and for as-needed doses too. If everything is in order, a resident's whole round can be marked as given with one click. If something was missed or the resident did not take it, this shows up immediately, together with the reason.
Why it helps the home: The manager can see every day whether the medication round went to plan, and at the end of the month the printable MAR sheet is ready. Administration is documented, not just prescribing.
Dose changes with full history
What it does: If the doctor changes a dose, the new dose applies from the day of the change, while the earlier days on the monthly MAR sheet keep the old dose.
Why it helps the home: Past records stay accurate: you can see how much the resident received and when.
Medication stock
What it does: Medicines can be tracked both for each resident and in the home's shared stock: you can record what arrived, how much was used and what had to be disposed of. GIRBO highlights anything that will soon expire or is running low.
Why it helps the home: You can see in good time what needs ordering and what is about to expire; you do not find out during the medication round that something has run out.
Medical aids and equipment
What it does: A resident's medical aids and supplies (for example continence products, dressings or a walking frame) can be chosen from the official NEAK list, together with their price. Items in use and items no longer in use are shown separately.
Why it helps the home: It is clear who has which aid and what it costs, which also makes billing simpler.
Merging manually entered medicines
What it does: If a medicine was entered by hand earlier, outside the official list, the responsible member of staff can merge similar entries and link them to the medicine on the official list.
Why it helps the home: The medication list stays clean and consistent: the same medicine does not appear under several names.
Doctor's stamp on the visit record
What it does: The stamps and signatures of the doctors who work with the home can be stored as images in GIRBO and added to the doctor's visit records.
Why it helps the home: The doctor's approval is right there on the record, not in a separate folder.
Doctor's visit records and professional logs
What it does: The medical, care, physiotherapy and mental health logs in one place. Only a doctor can approve entries, and an approved entry cannot be changed afterwards. Whatever the doctor prescribes on the visit record goes straight onto the resident's medication chart.
Why it helps the home: You can prove what the doctor approved, and nobody can rewrite it later. The prescribed medicine does not have to be entered a second time either.
Doctor's sign-off by phone ★ unique
What it does: The residents seen that day are shown on one summary sheet. At the end of the visit the doctor signs off the day's entries on their own phone; after that they can no longer be changed, so the records remain reliable. The signed-off daily sheet can be downloaded and printed.
Why it helps the home: The doctor closes the day in a few minutes on their own phone, without having to sit down at the home's computer. The closed sheet can be pulled up at any time.
Unique on the Hungarian market. GIRBO is the only Hungarian system built for residential care homes in which the doctor signs off the daily visit on their own phone, and signed-off entries can no longer be changed afterwards.
Psychiatric visit record
What it does: The results of memory and thinking tests (for example the MMSE or the clock-drawing test) and the psychiatrist's entries with ICD diagnosis codes (known in Hungary as BNO codes), in date order. Any medicine the psychiatrist prescribes goes straight onto the resident's medication chart.
Why it helps the home: You can follow how the resident's mental state is changing, and a prescribed medicine does not get lost on a piece of paper.
