Admission Categories

This article is part of the systems administration guide. You will require administration access to view the pages mentioned in this article.

CareRight includes a default Admission category of GENERAL. This includes and displays every field required for all Australian Statutory Reporting.

The Data elements can be modified depending on the requirements for your admissions. We recommend that you set up new admission categories for each of your common admission scenarios.

This allows for common values to be set as defaults which will display on the Patient Admission & Discharge screens.

Review the Data Elements Details

Locate the data element of interest.
Click on the data element name (it is a hyperlink), this will take you to the Statutory Coding Screen.
The details screen will display three sections:
1. Details - this gives a description of the data element
2. Statutory Report - this lists the Statutory reports the element is valid for and which version.
3. Statutory Report Values - this describes the valid codes for these elements across the statutory reporting bodies. (these value can be disabled if not relevant, i.e Maternity)
To disable a code value, select the Disable button next to the irrelevant code.

Note: This removes the value/code from the field drop down list on the Admission / Discharge screen. The element will exist but the number of values to be selected will be reduced.

Type C Certificate Field

This new option will allow selecting the following values:

Required: The admission, when created, will show the Type C certificate related fields. It will show a checkbox to indicate if Type C is required. This checkbox will be checked.
Optional: The admission when created will not show the Type C certificate related fields. It will show a checkbox to indicate if Type C is required. This checkbox will be unchecked.
Hidden: The admission will not show the Type C certificate related fields and will also not show the checkbox to indicate if Type C is required. If the show hidden fields checkbox is checked, the the fields will be displayed.
