Admission Process

Inpatient management in Biograph covers the complete Admission-Transfer-Discharge lifecycle for patients who require overnight or extended stays at the facility.

Scheduling an Admission

Admissions can be initiated from:

• Patient Encounter — When a practitioner decides the patient needs admission during a consultation

• Inpatient Record list — Direct admission for emergencies or pre-planned procedures

  To create an Inpatient Record:

Home → Healthcare → Inpatient → Inpatient Record → New
(or create directly from a Patient Encounter)

Creating an Inpatient Record

1. Go to Inpatient Record list (or create from an encounter)
2. Click + Add Inpatient Record
3. Fill in admission details:
