How to create a consultation or an admission.

If a healthcare center does not offer admission services, the forthcoming explanation pertaining to the use of the terms consultation and admission within this manual may be disregarded. In such instances, any reference to admission within this manual would not be applicable to such a center.

In this manual, the term consultation serves as an umbrella term that includes both consultations and admissions. These two events are managed through a unified interface, with minor variations to accommodate their unique requirements (for instance, the admission interface incorporates a discharge button).

While the interface largely remains consistent, there are instances where differentiation becomes necessary. In such scenarios, the term Consultation is specifically used when the interface is accessed for an inpatient, while Admission refers to the interface as it appears for an outpatient. An inpatient is a patient who stays in the hospital for one or more nights while receiving treatment. On the other hand, an outpatient is a patient who visits a healthcare facility for diagnosis or treatment but does not stay overnight.

The Consultation page is the page used to capture vitals, or Doctor's notes. For outpatients a patient encounter is referred to as a consultation, while an inpatient stay is referred to as an admissions.

  2. click the Consultation toolbar button to create a consultation (or the Admission toolbar button to create an admission). These buttons are only visible after you have found and selected a particular patient.
