Event A04-Register Patient (ADT^A04)
The event A04
is used to signal when a patient has
arrived or checked in as a one-time,
or continuing outpatient, and is not
assigned to a bed.
The Register message
is as follows:
MSH..EVN..PID..[{NK1}]..[PV1]..[PV2]..[{AL1}]..[{DG1}]..{IN1}..[ACC]
5.5 Event A05-Pre-admission Patient
(ADT^A05)
When a patient undergoes
the pre-admission process, an A05
event is issued. During this process,
data is collected to prepare for the
patient's visit or stay in a health
care facility. For example, a pre-admit
may be done prior to inpatient or
outpatient surgery. This allows for
lab test to be preformed before the
surgery.
The Pre-admission
message is as follows:
MSH..EVN..PID..[{NK1}]..[PV1]..[PV2]..[{AL1}]..[{DG1]}..{IN1}..[ACC]
5.6 Event A06-Outpatient to Inpatient (ADT^A06)
An A06
event changes a patient's status from non-admitted
to admitted. For example, a patient was present
for a non-admitted visit, and after an evaluation
of the patient's condition was found serious,
the patient's status changed to admitted.
The Outpatient to Inpatient
message is as follows:
MSH..EVN..PID..[MRG]..[{NK1}]..[PV1]..[PV2]..[{AL1}]..[{DG1}]..{IN1}..[ACC]
5.7 Event A07-Inpatient to Outpatient (ADT^A07)
This event changes a patient from
an admitted to non-admitted status. For example,
an A07 is issued
when a patient is no longer admitted, but
still needs to be seen for one more episode
of care.
The Inpatient to Outpatient
message is as follows:
MSH..EVN..PID..[MRG]..[{NK1}]..[PV1]..[PV2]..[{AL1}]..[{DG1}]..{IN1}..[ACC]
