Forms :: Daily Data Collection With Constant Elements

I have a table that is populated everyday, with following columns:

1. ward (linked to the wards table)
2. date
3. number of patients

We have a total of 18 wards, wherein the daily number of patient in each ward should be recorded. The problem we face is that we find it counter-productive if the data encoder selects a specific ward (dropdown list), then puts the number of patients, and then moves to another field repeating the process. (the date is pre-selected using a combo-box and this will fill the date fields, thus the encoder selects the date only once).

I was wondering if there is a way where we can just automatically show all the wards, so that the data encoder would just proceed on putting the figures.
