Visit Types

When constructing a hospital information system or working within a hospital it department. Its a good idea to know the types of patient visits that hospital supports.

For some patients, a bed must be immediately assigned at the time of registration. (Ambulatory Surgery, Inpatients)

There are other patient visits, for which a bed is optional. For example private referred visits.

There are some patient visits, which are always daily only. So instead of employing someone to expire that visit, the system can do it automatically.

The behavior of an inpatient visit can be simultated. For example the patient can be transfered, and discharged.

There are also visits that are recurring, where a patient can have multiple active visits. For instance, an individual who is having radiation therapy.
