Adding a Returning (Re-admission) Resident

After a resident is admitted in the system, census changes (admission or re-admissions) can be completed through the Quick ADT application. There are different types of census entries that can be conducted using the Quick ADT link, including a admission or reentry. A admission or reentry includes the recording of a transfer in on return from hospital or return from a leave of absence.

The Quick ADT application allows staff to record the census entry without impacting billing. After completing 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.
