Copy Admission

Overview

Using the Copy From button within the admission screen is the copy functionality of Admissions. This copies field values from a previous admission into the current admission. There 2 ways to copy:

1. Diagnosis and Proceedure from previous - you can select which admission can be copied
   
2. Coding from selected previous admission - copies from the latest admission on record

Note: An Admission Category can be set up to only copy the following:

• All
• Blank fields
• Diagnosis and Procedures
• None

When pressed this loads a new screen allowing the user to select an admission from the patient's admission history. This functionality ensures that after selecting an admission, the user is presented with a list of the values for fields (that meet the requirement below) and the ability to confirm the copy should proceed.

This also includes Coding relationship data such as Diagnoses and Procedures.

The listed 'Values to Copy' only shows fields that:

• Have a value in the selected source admission (otherwise there is nothing to copy)
• Have different values between source and destination (as there is no point copying the same values)

In addition:

• s not have "Show HidIf the destination admission doeden Fields" checked then hidden fields will be hidden in the destination admission (and the values of these fields aren't copied into the destination admission).
• The list will pre-select (check) the check box for a field if the destination field is empty.
• All the values that are checked on the Copy From screen are copied from the selected source Admission to the destination admission overwriting the existing values in the destination admission.
