Entering a Room Change

After a resident is admitted in the system, census entries (room changes) can be completed through the Quick ADT application. A room change entails recording an internal transfer when a resident is moved from one bed to another bed within the facility.

Different types of census entries can be conducted using the Quick ADT link. The Quick ADT application allows staff to record a census entry (room change) without impacting billing. Upon completion of the Quick ADT, the resident status is updated with an Incomplete census entry. The Quick ADT action requires confirmation by the business office at a later time.

  1. Search for the resident's record. Hover over Clinical to access the Clinical menu and select Residents from the People section.

  2. Click the adt link to the left of the resident name in the resident listing OR click the Resident's name to access the record and then hover over Clinical and select Quick ADT from the Actions section.

  3. In the Quick ADT window, click the Action Code list and select room Change.

  4. Set the Effective Date. The Location field may be auto-populated with the resident's room number.

  5. To change the resident's room number, use the Clear link to clear the location. Click the magnifying glass lookup.gif at the end of the Location field to select a bed for the resident. In the Location Pick List window, click the link for the appropriate available room.

  • Incomplete Census items can be viewed on both the Clinical and Admin Dashboards.
