How do I transfer a resident into or out of the community?
- Open the Admin or Clinical resident list and select adt beside the correct resident.
- Choose the Action Code for the actual event: hospital or personal leave, return from leave, or another configured transfer.
- Complete the required fields, including accurate event date and time and destination/origin where requested.
- Review the entry and select Save.
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.
Hospital transfers
For Clinical Data Exchange transfers to a hospital, PointClickCare specifies Acute Care Hospital as the To/From Type and the receiving hospital as the To/From Location.
Hospital-transfer timing and Outcome of Transfer affect MDS tracking/discharge schedules. Have the MDS coordinator review the resulting schedule; a return within 24 hours does not by itself determine whether a record is required.
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.
