2. Have a service with "Use for Admissions" enabled.

                   If there is only one eligible health fund then preselect it.

• In Admitting patient without pre-admission

           If admission is created without a pre-admission then use the following rules:

1.  if there is one eligible health fund select this and set the funding choice to Health Fund.

2.  if there is more than one eligible health fund set the funding choice to Health fund, but present a list of health funds on the admission screen for the user to choose from.

When editing an admission allow the user to change the funding choice in the same manner as pre-admissions allow.
