What information do hospitals require to operate? I'm looking for a
complete list of all information that's exchanged verbally, written
down, digitally recorded, observed and remembered, etc, and used by
hospital staff (doctors, nurses, interns, etc) as well as patients.
Some items on this list might be:

- shift status: off duty, on call, at hospital
- location in hospital
- current status (busy, on break, etc)
- job title
