How do I discharge a resident?
- Open the resident list in Admin or Clinical and locate the correct resident.
- Select adt beside the resident’s name.
- Select the Action Code appropriate to the actual event, such as discharge or death, according to facility procedure.
- Complete the required fields and select Save.
Record the actual departure. PointClickCare advises against entering a discharge before the resident leaves.
The available Action Codes depend on your facility’s configuration. If the required action is missing, ask the person responsible for census rather than choosing a different event.
Complete the census follow-up
Quick ADT creates an incomplete census entry, shown in yellow on Census/Rates. The business office must review and complete it, including payer and rate information. Pharmacy integrations also depend on accurate, completed census entries.
