How do I readmit a resident?
- Open the resident list in Admin or Clinical.
- Use Discharged or All Residents to find the existing chart and confirm the resident’s identity.
- Select adt beside the resident’s name.
- Choose the facility’s appropriate admission/readmission Action Code, complete the required fields for the actual return, and save.
If the resident was on leave rather than discharged, confirm the correct return-from-leave action with your census staff.
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.
Have the MDS coordinator review assessment needs using the updated census and payer information.
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.
