Hi all,

The elements are there for the complete Admissions workflow: the
doctor's assessment, nursing assessment, AIMS, pain assessments are
defined and being used, I have ICHS Admissions setup as a clinic, we
are scheduling patients for it.

Next is getting the system to accomodate and coordinate the whole
enchilada admissions workflow which consists of the following tabular
data with my comments. Overall what I'm wondering is are there a
preferred or official ways of recording and displaying the following
all of which is done by several people in Admissions:

Time of Arrival--Seems like this is covered by check-in.

Patient name--Done at registration.

Coordinator--How does one set who this is for this potential (they may
not be admitted) appointment/Admission? The person that does this are
the Clerk type id's but needs to be easily known by the clinicians who
the coordinator is so that they can, um, coordinate.

Age/sex--Done at registration or already in system.

Mode of transportation--How they arrived to this admission, car, boat,
plane, llama. Is this already in system for a particular
appointment/admission? We could possibly do this with a note.

Type of insurance--aka insurance company name Aetna, etc. Where does
this exist in VistA per patient? I do not see it in the Patient file
fields. Also, can this be defined as a Patient Data (Object)
selectable deal for inclusion in documents?

Psych/ or CD--This is whether they are regular psychiatry or chemical
dependency only bound. Can possibly be done with a note.

Primary physician--How do the intake coordinators designate who this
is in system?

Room number/report given to unit--I see this exists in the patient
file. How/where do intake coordinators set this, how do practitioners
see this (I assume once it is set it displays in CPRS)? Kevin
Toppenberg's menu map
http://www.geocities.com/kdtop3/VistaMasterMenus.html shows many
possibilities for setting rooms, which one is the preferred way?

RN/ Time--Time the RN finished workup.

MD/ Time--Time the MD finished workup.

Time of Departure--I presume check out will set this. How to query this?

Disposition--Choices are Admitted/Partial/Intensive OP/OP follow
up/Refused/Left without notice/Left AMA. How might this be handled?

Signed-in--Y or N

Insurance verified--Y or N

Pre-cert--Number of days pre-certified or nothing.

Memorandom of Transfer Patient--Y or N

Emergency Detention Warrant--Y or N
