An Admit Type identifies the circumstances under which a patient is admitted. Examples may include Elective, Emergency, and Routine. Then, when a user retrieves a chart, the Admit Type is displayed in the chart's demographics. Users can also use Admit Types as criteria for chart retrieval.

To configure an Admit Type to associate with charts:

  1. In the OnBase Configuration module, select Medical | Admit Types. The Admit Type Configuration dialog box is displayed.
    Note:

    Admit Types preceded by an asterisk (*) were created by HL7 and are not yet configured. Until the Admit Type is configured, and the HL7 Listener is restarted, any new charts created with the Admit Type will be marked as requiring review. See Fixing Charts with Admit Type Issues for more information.

  2. Enter a name for the Admit Type in the blank field at the bottom of the dialog box.
  3. Click Create. The Admit Type Settings dialog box is displayed.
  4. Enter the HL7 code for the Admit Type in the HL7 Field Specifier field.
    For example, if the Routine Admit Type is represented in the HL7 messages by the code R, then enter R in the HL7 Field Specifier field. For more details on field specifiers, refer to HL7 Field Specifiers.
  5. Click Save.
