Admit a patient to the ward and discharge them

Admit a patient from their visit, find them on the admissions register, and discharge them with a summary.

Doctor and Staff

When a patient needs to stay, admit them from their visit. Everybody on the ward sees who is in a bed on Admissions, and the stay keeps what is written during it.

Before you start

Your practice must run admissions. An administrator switches it on in Settings > Modules.

Steps

  1. Open the patient's visit.
  2. Choose Admit to the ward.
  3. Say why in Why they are being admitted, and where in Where on the ward.
Admit Musa Ibrahim to the ward? with the reason for admission and Male ward, bed 3 typed in.

  1. Choose Admissions on the left.

  2. Write the Discharge summary.
  3. Tick Care has been handed over, and somebody is named for any result still to come back.

What to expect

The patient leaves the register. The stay, why they were admitted and everything written during it stay on their chart under Admissions, and the stay's visit is completed.

A patient has one stay on the ward at a time. Admitting somebody already on the ward is refused, and the form points you to their current stay.
