You can edit an admission regardless of the state that the admission is in (open, discharged or pending discharge). Most of the pick lists on the Edit admission screen can be defaulted to a value or hidden (see the Change Categories section for more details).
From the Patient Record
- Search for a patient.
- Click Show.
- If this is the Current Admission:
- Select Current Admission in the Main Menu or in the banner click Currently Admitted.
- If this is not the Current Admission, click Admissions in the left hand menu.
- From Admission History section, click Edit.
- Fill in relevant fields, as needed.
- Click Update.
Admission Fields
The admission fields displayed are configurable and depend on the admission category. To see every field regardless of the admission category, tick Display Hidden Fields at the bottom of the page, then press Update and then edit the admission again.
| Admission Field | Note | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Admitting Doctor | Only allows selection of staff members with a medical staff member type. By default this is "Doctor" and "Psychologist". | |
| Attending Doctor | Has the same restrictions as Admitting Doctor. |
Editing Type C Certificate Content (New v6.65 Feature)
When editing an admission, the requirement for a Type C Certificate can also be modified at any time, including post discharge.
