Admissions
The admission desk - current and discharged inpatients, doctors' advice to admit, admitting a patient to a bed with a deposit, transfers, billing and discharge.
Admissions is the admission desk. It lists the patients in the wards now, the patients doctors advised to admit, and those already discharged. From each row you open the chart, the bill, a transfer or the discharge.

Before you begin
- Wards and beds are set up. See Wards & Beds.
- Admitting, transferring and discharging each need their own permission. See Users & Roles.
- Taking a deposit needs an open cash shift. See Cash Register.

Common questions
The bed I want is not in the list. It is occupied, being cleaned, reserved or blocked. Check it on Bed Board, or mark it clean on Housekeeping.
Admit asks for a payment method. A deposit was typed. Pick how it was paid, or set the deposit to 0.
How is the stay charged? The bed's daily rate is added each day automatically. Services, medicines and tests are added to the same stay and settled on the final bill.
Can I cancel an admission made by mistake? Discharge it with the right discharge type and note why in the summary.
