Step by step

1
Read the four cards at the top: Pacientes (patients), Partos Previstos (expected births), Próximo Parto (next birth) and Receitas (prescriptions).
2
Check 'Próximas Consultas' (upcoming appointments) for today's schedule.
3
Look at 'Status do Sistema' (system status) for pending appointments and unread alerts.
4
Use 'Ações Rápidas' (quick actions) to get going: Nova Consulta (new appointment) or Nova Paciente (new patient).

Speed shortcut

Always start from Ações Rápidas. They open the two flows you use most without going through the menu.

Why this matters

The dashboard was designed to answer three questions before you open any record: who is coming today, which birth is close and what was left pending. Skip that reading and you find the pending item mid-appointment, when fixing it costs more.

Best practices

Always do it this way

Open the dashboard at the start of the shift and read 'Status do Sistema' before the first patient.
Treat 'Partos Previstos' as your planning window for the coming weeks, not as a statistic.
If a number looks odd, click it: every card leads to the list it came from.

Common mistakes

The numbers don't match the patients I saw.

Appointments still open in a tab, not yet finalized, are not counted. Finalize the pending ones and the dashboard settles.
