ADT^A05
ADT/ACK - Preadmit a patient
Patient Administration
An A05 event is sent when a patient undergoes the pre-admission process. During this process, episode-related data is collected in preparation for a patient's visit or stay in a healthcare facility. For example, a pre-admit may be performed prior to inpatient or outpatient surgery so that lab tests can be performed prior to the surgery. This event can also be used to pre-register a non-admitted patient.

IN1|2|""|""Patient James A. Massie was pre-admitted on January 6th, 1996 for ambulatory surgery which is scheduled for January 10, 1996 at 1400. As part of the pre-admission process, he specified two emergency contacts as well as employer, insurance, and guarantor, and allergy information. He also was measured and weighed. Note that the REGADT system supports the entry of four NK1 type records: first, second, and third emergency contacts and employer information. A third emergency contact was not provided for James A. Massie. However, an NK1 record must be sent to support "snapshot" mode of update. The REGADT system also supports entry of two insurance plans, one guarantor, and one diagnosis.
