A patient's Admit Date must have a Treatment Start Date that matches. (if patient was admitted, they received treatment!)
- The below image shows dates that do not match.
A patient can have multiple Treatment Start Dates when admitted to your facility, but:
- Each treatment must be unique (should not be an exact duplicate of another treatment)
- The modality, duration, training can change as often as needed
- Each Admit Date must have a Treatment Start Date
- All following Treatments can come after!
If patient leaves your facility and then returns, the new Admit Date should have a new Treatment Start Date
To make the Treatment Start Date match the Admit Date:
- Click on Treatment
- Click on the Admit Date
- Click on the Treatment Start Date
- Edit --> Save
To Delete incorrect or duplicate Treatments:
- Click on Treatment
- Click on the Admit Date
- Click on the Treatment Start Date
- Edit
- CHANGE the Treatment TYPE to a different Treatment (that does not have clinical data connected)
- CHANGE the Treatment DATE to today's date.
- SAVE
- Edit
- Delete the entire Treatment
