Bedside Examinations (NO DLCs Version)

This mod aims to provide more realism by allowing doctors to perform routine medical examinations at the patient's bedside. It also overhauls the way doctors choose examinations to mimic the real life workup of patients. The result is a much more realistic and streamlined approach to hospitalization in the game. The most amazing thing: you will no longer need huge armies of nurses to push around patients in stretchers to exam rooms!

=============================================================


MUST READ:

The mod will work with Traumatology and Infectious Diseases DLCs enabled. However, you will probably run into some annoying issues and so I recommend installing the DLC version of this mod which you can find on the workshop here:

The mod has no compatibility issues with any other mod. It is worth noting that playing with any additional mods that add new examinations (all new department mods) will mess up the exam priority order that this mod has carefully balanced.

The mod makes changes to the Exams.xml and Roomtypes.xml files.

Regular wards and HDU wards now require the following additional items in order to be functional:

- CRP Scan
- Disinfectant Dispenser / Lab Sink / Kitchen Sink / Sink
- Defibrillator Wall / Defibrillator
- Equipment Cabinet / Equipment Cabinet Tall / Mobile Equipment Cabinet / Wall-mounted Equipment

The mod works with existing saves - just add the missing items to your wards.



The following Exams can no longer be ordered in a clinic. Patients must be hospitalized for them to be ordered:

- Biopsy Sampling
- PCR Sampling
- Serology Sampling
- Stool Analysis Sampling (except Internal Medicine patients)
- Microscopic Sampling (except Neurology patients)
- CBC (Complete Blood Count) Sampling

This simulates the workup of patients in real life hospitals. Generally speaking, if a doctor is doing blood cultures, PCR tests or taking a biopsy sample; the patient is pretty sick. These patients in a real life scenario would be hospitalized when these kinds of tests are ordered. It might be annoying for players who only want to play clinics and not have to deal with hospitalization but this is a "design" choice on my part. It's both realistic and eases a lot of the workload on your clinics and labs. Otherwise clinic patients who require lots of blood work keep bouncing back and forth between their clinic doctors and waiting outside labs.

===========================================================

Additional Information:

The mod does not eliminate the need for "Diagnostic Unit" rooms since not all exams can be carried out at the bedside; it simply reduces the workload on these rooms and frees up more nurses.

The mod increases the priority of the "Differential Diagnosis" exam which is an extremely powerful tool that was almost never utilized by doctors in the game. It helps narrow down the possible diagnoses and reduces the amount of time spent on investigations. I highly recommend you hire clinic and ER doctors with the "Advanced Diagnosis" specialization to make use of this exam.

Just like in real life, blood tests are often ordered early on in the workup of many hospitalized patients. Be prepared to expand your hematology lab to keep things running smoothly.

Any and all feedback is highly appreciated!
