Falcon supplies small stat cards and snapshots that appear inside other tools' screens, kept current and marked when a figure falls out of date. A card carries one figure to where a person already works, without sending them to a dashboard.
A stat widget is a small card Falcon supplies that shows one figure inside another tool's screen. It presents a single metric as a snapshot, so a figure a person watches sits beside the work it bears on.
What a stat widget shows
A stat widget shows one metric and the moment it was read. It names the measure, presents the current figure, and carries the time it holds, so a reader takes the number at a glance and knows how fresh it is.
Where a stat widget appears
A stat widget appears inside another tool's screen, beside the work it informs. A charges card sits in a billing screen. An occupancy card sits in an admissions screen.
A person also pins a stat widget to the staff desktop, so a figure they watch through a shift stays in view alongside the tools they open.
Kept current, marked when stale
Falcon keeps a stat widget current as the events behind it change. When those events have moved on past the figure on the card, Falcon marks the card as out of date, so a reader reads it again rather than acting on a stale number.
An honest snapshot
The card carries the moment it was read. A reader sees both the figure and its freshness on the same card, so a snapshot stays truthful about how current it is.
The same numbers as the dashboards
A stat widget draws on the same governed metric as the dashboards and packs. A charges figure on a card counts charges by the one definition the platform holds, so the card and the dashboard agree, and the card carries the same lineage down to the events behind it.
Access and the card
A stat widget resolves under the same access decision as the metric behind it. A person sees the figures their role and their relationship to the patient permit, so a card shows a figure the viewer is entitled to read.
Common questions
Do stat cards match the dashboards?
Yes. A card draws on the same governed metric definition as the dashboards and packs, so the same figure reads the same on a card and on a dashboard.
How do I know a card is current?
The card carries the moment it was read. When the events behind it have moved on, Falcon marks the card as out of date, so a reader reads it again.
Can I keep a stat card in view?
Yes. A person pins a stat widget to the staff desktop, so a figure they watch stays beside the tools they open through a shift.
