Feature
IPD & Admission Management Software (ADT)
Admitting a patient touches beds, nursing, billing, and paperwork all at once. Trisvio brings that together as an ADT workflow — a colour-coded bed board, per-diem billing computed automatically, and a discharge summary that has to be finalised before a routine discharge closes.
IPD & Admissions runs the full stay — bed board, transfers, nursing notes, per-diem billing — and finalises the bill and discharge summary together when the patient leaves.
- Who uses it
- The admission desk places and transfers patients; nurses record nursing notes through the stay; doctors author the discharge summary.
- What it records
- Admission, ward/room/bed history, nursing notes and vitals, and per-diem charges accrued for each day of stay.
- What it prints / exports
- A discharge summary, finalised and printed as an A4 document.
- Works with
- Billing & Payments, Patient Registration, Revenue Controls
What you get
- See bed occupancy at a glanceA colour-coded board across ward, room, and bed shows which beds are occupied, free, or under maintenance, so the admission desk can place a patient without calling around wards.
- Admit, transfer, and discharge as one workflowAdmit a patient directly, or convert an existing OP visit into an admission, move them between beds with a transfer, and discharge them — all tracked against the same admission record.
- Per-diem bed charges computed automaticallyBed charges are calculated for each day of stay — including transfer days billed to the receiving bed and any charged-tariff override — and finalised onto the IP bill at discharge without manual calculation.
- Nursing notes and a structured discharge summaryNurses record nursing notes through the stay, and the discharge summary is drafted, then finalised — finalising records who signed it off and locks it — before printing as an A4 document.
How it works
Admit the patient
The admission desk admits a patient to a ward, room, and bed — either directly or by converting an existing OP visit into an IP admission.
Track the stay
The bed board shows each bed’s current state as soon as a patient is placed, moved or discharged; nurses record nursing notes; the patient can be transferred to a different bed if needed.
Charges accrue automatically
Per-diem bed charges are computed for each day of the stay, accounting for transfer days and any tariff overrides.
Finalize the discharge summary
For a routine discharge, the discharge summary has to be drafted and then finalized first (by a doctor, or a hospital administrator unless you remove that right) — discharges for leaving against advice, referral, absconding, or death are exempt from that requirement.
Settle the bill and discharge
The computed bed charges finalise onto the IP bill; if any advance balance exists it’s applied first, and if money is still payable, discharge asks for a reason before it completes.
Who uses it
- Admission deskPlace patients into free beds using the colour-coded occupancy board and record admissions and transfers.
- NurseRecord nursing notes through the patient’s stay.
- DoctorReview the admission and author the discharge summary and finalize it, which records them as the signatory and locks it.
- BillingRely on per-diem bed charges finalised automatically onto the IP bill at discharge, without manual computation.
In detail
Per-diem billing, including transfer days
Bed charges accrue day by day rather than as a single lump sum guessed at discharge. A day spent after a transfer bills to the receiving bed, not the one the patient started in, and a charged-tariff override on a specific admission is respected rather than falling back to the ward’s standard rate. All of it finalises onto the IP bill automatically when the stay ends, so nobody is reconstructing a day-by-day bed charge by hand at the billing counter.
Discharge needs a finalized summary, and sometimes a reason
A routine discharge requires the discharge summary to be finalized first — Trisvio won’t let a patient be discharged with only a draft summary on file. Discharges for reasons like leaving against medical advice, referral to another facility, absconding, or death are exempt from that particular requirement.
Separately, on the billing side: any unapplied advance balance on the patient’s account is applied to the bill first, and only if money is still payable after that does discharge ask staff for a reason before it completes — see Revenue Controls for what happens to that reason afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
Can a patient be admitted directly from an OPD visit?
Yes. Trisvio supports converting an existing OP visit into an IP admission, so the patient doesn’t need to be registered again — the same patient record carries through.
How are bed charges calculated during a stay?
Bed charges are computed per day of stay, with rules for transfer days (billed to the receiving bed) and support for a charged-tariff override. These charges are finalised onto the IP bill automatically at discharge.
What happens to the discharge summary before a patient leaves?
For a routine discharge, the discharge summary is drafted, then finalized — which records who signed it off (a doctor, or a hospital administrator by default) and locks it — before it is printed as an A4 document — Trisvio requires it to be finalized before a routine discharge can complete. Death, referral, absconding, and leaving-against-advice discharges are exempt from that requirement.
What happens if a patient’s bill isn’t fully paid at discharge?
Any advance balance on the patient’s account is applied to the bill first. If money is still payable after that, by default discharge asks staff for a reason before it can complete and records why the patient left with dues outstanding. A hospital can choose instead to refuse a routine discharge until the bill is settled — a death, a LAMA, an abscondment or a referral always goes ahead with a reason. A discharge also waits until any theatre case on the stay is finished and its charges posted or waived.
