Creating a Discharge Event with the ADT Functions Window

When creating a discharge event, you cannot add or edit a patient’s identification data (for example, Medical Record Number or Patient Last Name). You can only enter the discharge’s effective date.

Complete the following steps to create a discharge event with the ADT Functions window:

  1. Locate the patient using the Patient Finder page or the Administer ADT Events page.
    1. To use the Patient Finder page, go to the Demand menu and select Patient Finder. This opens the Patient Finder page.
      1. Select the number to search by: Encounter Number or Medical Record Number.
      2. Enter the number in the box.
      3. Click Add. This moves the number into the Selected Numbers box.
      4. Click Search. The page updates to show your search results.
      5. Click the ADT link at the end of the patient information row. This opens the ADT Functions window.
    2. To use the Administer ADT Events page, From the Tools menu, select Administer ADT Transactions. This opens the Administer ADT Transactions page.
      1. Select the number to search by: Encounter Number or Medical Record Number.
      2. Enter the desired number in the box.
      3. Click Add. This moves the number into the Selected Numbers box.
      4. Click Search. The page updates to show your search results.
      5. Click the ADT link at the end of the patient information row. This opens the ADT Functions window.
  2. Select Discharge from the Event list.
  3. Enter the Effective Date and time.
  4. Click Save Event.
  5. An alert box opens with the message Create discharge for [Patient Last Name], [Patient First Name]? Click OK.
  6. After Clairvia Web processes the event, it lists the new event in the event section of the Patient Information table.
  7. Click Close to return to the main page.

You must enter the patient encounter or medical record number exactly as the application displays it. If the number is 00003456789, you must enter the entire number, including the zeroes. When in doubt as to the exact number, you should run the Patient List report to confirm.

Organizations with CareAware iBus and Cerner Millennium environments must use care when creating manual ADT events. Patient information, including encounter numbers and locations, must match in Staff Manager and Millennium. ADT events created in Staff Manager are not sent to the iBus and do not update Millennium.
