How do I admit a resident after normal business hours?
Authorized non-billing staff can use Quick Admission, Discharge, and Transfer (Quick ADT) to record an admission after hours.
New resident
- Open Admin → Actions → Quick ADT, or Clinical → Actions → Quick ADT.
- Enter identifying information and select Search. Check for an existing record before creating another chart.
- If there is no existing record, select New, then OK.
- Complete the required admission fields and select Save.
Existing resident record
Open the Admin or Clinical resident list, choose the appropriate resident-status filter, and select adt beside the correct resident. Complete the admission fields and save.
Record the actual arrival; PointClickCare advises against admitting a resident before arrival.
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.
