While Part 1 of the outline plan is mainly concerned with the entry and immediate treatment in the Emergency Department, Part 2 looks at when a longer stay within the ED or possible admission to the main hospital is required.
When a patient passes through the ED and is discharged within hours, the patient documentation is no way as complex as that needed for longer attendances. In these cases the patient -
- May have a serious or life-threatening injury.
- May be experiencing serious complications as a result of an existing condition.
- May have come in contact with and have been infected by a contagious disease.
- May have serious psychiatric issues.
- May need surgery.
- Many other reasons.
In the above cases, data management requirements will grow exponentially.
Also required will be -
- Tracking of patients to theatre, x-ray, scans and other locations.
- A wide range of forms and other documentation to be stored as a separate record but including the ED documentations (Admission Record)
- Bed Management
- Patient Billing for ED 'services'
- In-Patient Billing
- Follow up Out-Patient appointments
- And more...
