Automatic discharge
Note You cannot discharge a patient who is continuously sending data vital signs
measurements to the central station. These patients appear in the list with
the icon.
The central station automatically discharges patients based on monitoring inactivity or
events from the ADT system. Patients who were entered through an ADT system are
automatically discharged only after the central station receives a discharge or transfer
message.
After receipt of a discharge or transfer message, patients are automatically discharged 4
hours after the last episodic reading is taken or a monitoring session ends.
Patients that were entered into the system without an ADT feed are automatically
discharged 24 hours after the last episodic reading is taken or a monitoring session ends.
Note This behavior can be customized, enabled, or disabled. Contact your
system administrator to change or modify your settings.
