ADT (Admission, Discharge, Transfer)

ADT stands for Admission, Discharge and Transfer — the backbone workflow that records every movement of an inpatient through the hospital, from the admission event and initial bed allocation, through any transfers between wards, rooms or units during the stay, to the final discharge from the hospital.

Why it matters in a hospital

Every downstream inpatient number depends on ADT being accurate: per-day room billing, length of stay, bed occupancy and census reports are all derived from admission, transfer and discharge timestamps rather than entered separately. An ADT record with a missed transfer or a late discharge entry throws off billing for that patient and skews the hospital's occupancy and capacity numbers for everyone reading the report that day. For a hospital running several wards at once, ADT is effectively the single source of truth for “who is where” — the same question a nurse, a billing clerk and an administrator each need answered, from their own angle, throughout the day.

How Trisvio handles it

In Trisvio, ADT events drive the bed board, the per-diem billing calculation, and the hospital's occupancy and census reporting from the same recorded event — a transfer closes the stay on the old bed, frees that bed, occupies the new one and starts billing at its tariff in one step, rather than as separate manual updates. This keeps the numbers a hospital reports — beds occupied right now, average stay this month — trustworthy, because they come from the same events staff already record to move a patient, not a separate manual tally kept alongside it.
