Methods and a system are provided for assessing postpartum hemorrhage risk and postpartum hemorrhage stages in a clinical setting. Generally, a clinician may indicate that the mass of several bloody items, indicated in type and quantity, is to be measured using a scale. The mass of bloody items is compared to the known unused dry mass of such items in order to accurately determine the quantitative blood loss (QBL) of a patient at the bedside. The cumulative QBL can be updated by weighing additional items. Based on the cumulative QBL, the patient's vital signs, and other factors, a corresponding hemorrhage stage is identified and communicated to the clinician. Recommendations specific to the hemorrhage stage are provided to a clinician. Some recommendations are selectable actions that trigger automatic placement of medical orders and notifications to relevant medical services, such as a blood bank or anesthesia. 1. A method comprising:causing a scale device that is communicatively coupled to a computing device to measure a total mass of a plurality of items;determining, by the computing device, a total unused mass of the plurality of items based on a user-input quantity of each of the plurality of items multiplied by a predefined mass of each corresponding item type of the plurality of items;determining, by the computing device, a quantitative blood loss of a patient based on the total mass relative to the total unused mass;automatically identifying, by the computing device, a hemorrhage stage that corresponds to the quantitative blood loss; andautomatically initiating, by the computing device, a medical order that is specific to the hemorrhage stage identified, wherein the medical order includes a quantity of blood units corresponding to the quantitative blood loss of the patient.2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically communicating the quantitative blood loss and the medical order for storage in an electronic medical record (EMR) that is ...
