ED Registration – Patient Not Flowing to ER Encounter Summary
0%
Description
Description:
ED Registration Patient Not Appearing in ER Encounter Summary After "Visit Department" Registration.
Current Behavior:
When a patient is registered through ED Registration and the user clicks "Visit Department", the registration is completed successfully. However, the patient does not appear in the ER Encounter Summary for further clinical management.
Additionally, the current workflow expects assignment to a specific clinic or doctor during registration, which is not aligned with the ED workflow for non-green zone patients.
Expected Behavior:
For non-green zone ED patients, registration should be performed under Visit Department without requiring assignment to a specific clinic or doctor.
- The patient should automatically appear in the ER Encounter Summary.
- No clinic assignment should be required.
- No specific doctor assignment should be required during registration.
- The patient should remain available in the general ED patient queue for assessment and management according to the hospital's ED workflow.
Justification:
In government hospital ED workflows, non-green zone patients are not assigned to a specific doctor during registration. Patients are managed based on triage and departmental workflow. Requiring doctor assignment and preventing patients from appearing in the ER Encounter Summary creates an inaccurate workflow and disrupts patient management.
- User can register a non-green zone patient using Visit Department without selecting a clinic.
- User can register a non-green zone patient using Visit Department without selecting a specific doctor.
- Upon registration, the patient is automatically displayed in the ER Encounter Summary.
- The patient is available for subsequent ER clinical documentation and treatment workflows.
- Existing green zone patient registration and doctor assignment workflow remains unaffected.
