ADT^A10

ADT/ACK - Patient arriving - tracking

Patient Administration
The A10 event is sent when a patient arrives at a new location in the healthcare facility. The A09 (patient departing-tracking) and A10 events are used when there is a change in a patient's physical location and when this is NOT a change in the official census bed location. There are three varieties of these non-census location changes involving three different kinds of notification: (a) an unofficial notification of location change prior to the official notification of patient tracking, (b) the patient is in transit between locations for some time, (c) a notification of a temporary location change.

Patient tracking: If the patient is now at a non-temporary location and is not in transit, then PV1-3-assigned patient location must contain the new patient location and PV1-6-prior patient location can contain the old patient location.
