ADT^A05
ADT/ACK - Pre-admit a patient
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.
The ROL segment has been deprecated and retained for backwards compatiblity purposes only as of v 2.9. The reader is referred to the PRT segment instead.

IN1|2|""|""Patient Adam A. Everyman was pre-admitted on January 6th, 2007 for ambulatory surgery, which is scheduled for January 10, 2007 at 1400. As part of the pre-admission process, he specified two emergency contacts as well as employer, insurance, and guarantor information. He also was measured and weighed.
Note: Above, 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 Adam A. Everyman. 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.
