The inpatient function allows healthcare professionals and appropriate support staff to view your health data in relation to your planned stay in hospital in one location and in near to real-time, with all required information to support your inpatient care and in turn aids theatre usage.  This means that your planned stay in hospital happens in a timely manner.
