How an Acuity System uses ADT information
When a facility’s CIS sends a patient’s ADT information to WACS, the Acuity System uses
the ADT information to autopopulate identification fields in the patient’s Acuity System
patient ID setup windows.
Where a patient ID number is entered
An Acuity System user enters a patient ID number in one of these two places to confirm
a new patient into the Acuity System:
• At the Acuity Central Station, in the Patient ID Setup window
• For systems that include the WACS option with the AcuityLink option, at a mobile
device running the AcuityLink Clinician Notifier program, in the Setup Patient ID
screen.
