ADT/ACK - Change an Outpatient to an Inpatient (Event A06)

29 segments · 2 events

An A06 event is sent when a patient who was present for a non-admitted visit is being admitted after an evaluation of the seriousness of the patient's condition. This event changes a patient's status from non-admitted to admitted. The new patient location should appear in PV1-3 - Assigned Patient Location, while the old patient location (if different) should appear in PV1-6 - Prior Patient Location. The new patient class should appear in PV1-2 - Patient Class.

It will be left to implementation negotiation to determine whether disparate systems merely change the patient class, or close and open a new account. The current active account number should appear in field PID-18 - Patient Account Number; the prior account number can be included optionally in MRG-3 - Prior Patient Account Number. This arrangement is not intended to be a type of merge. The MRG segment is used here only for MRG-3 - Prior Patient Account Number. PV1-19 - Visit Number may also be changed during this event.
