Managing the Type C Certificate During Admission (New v6.65 Feature)

As part of the admissions process, a Type C certificate may or may not be required depending on a number of factors:

Admin Setting: Required or Optional

If your System Admin has indicated that a Type C certificate is required or optional, then a Requires Type C Certificate checkbox field will appear:

Admin Setting: Pre-Admission

If the Admission Category selected during pre-admission requires a Type C Certificate (as specified by your System Admin), then the Requires Type C Certificate field will be pre-selected. This can be de-selected during admission if needed.

Type C Certificate Information Collection Required

In a specific scenario, additional information needs to be collected — this scenario is applied when all of the following conditions are met:

• The patient has a health fund set in their patient summary;
• The funding source is set to blank or "Health Fund"; and,
• The associated health fund has the "Day Hospital IHC Claiming" value set to "Electronic Claiming (Thelma)" or "Electronic Claiming (Eclipse)".

In this situation, additional data fields appear when the Requires Type C Certificate field is selected:

1. In the Requires Type C Certificate field, select the checkbox to indicate that it is required.
   1. Two additional fields will appear.
2. In the Certifying Doctor field, enter a medical provider name if he/she is different to the patient's attending doctor.
3. In the Nature Of Illness field, enter a brief description of the illness.
4. Click Admit.
