CARE PERIOD TIME
Your next section in completing the New Medical Client Intake is Care Period Time Frame. Care Period Time Frame Required Fields are as follows:

The first place to make a client a non-admit is while the client is still in either Referral or Pending Admission status:
View ➜ List ➜ Referrals
Clients ➜ Referrals or Pending Admissions
Select Non-Admit on the far right under Actions.
Enter the Non-Admission details and Save.
An agency can also change an active client to a Non-Admit from within the client’s chart.
Client-> Client Center->Select the Client and then Change Status.
Select Non-Admit from the status drop-down list.
Once Non-Admit is selected the lower portion updates to reflect Non-Admission options.
Choose the most appropriate reason and then select to Non-Admit.
Non-Admitted clients can be viewed through 
Clients -> Non-Admissions or Client Center->Non-Admissions.
Client details that are visible from the Non-Admitted Client list include the MRN (medical record number), the client name, insurance, date of birth, phone number, gender, non-admit reason and the non-admit date.
Under the Action column on the far right, a user with permissions has an option to Admit the client. This feature allows the agency to simply choose to Admit the client and complete the Admission steps instead of re-entering all the information once again. To print a list of non-admitted clients, simply export to Microsoft Excel.
Pending Admissions are clients that have been entered into the system as a New->Client (Medical or Non-Medical) or have transitioned from existing referrals. This occurs when an existing referral has been selected to Admit but then opted to save the information instead of Admitting.
This tutorial will cover:
The Pending Client Admission list is a great tool for monitoring clients currently waiting for admission to your agency.
The quickest way to view pending clients is through Clients->Pending Admissions
Client specific Actions available within the Client list screen are Edit, Admit and Non-Admit.
Selecting Edit will open the client chart and allow the user to update applicable information. Remember to Save information prior to Exiting.
Selecting the action to Admit opens the Client Information page where information may be reviewed/updated. Once the Admit choice is selected the client will move off the pending list over to the active list.
NOTE: Update the Start of Care Date, and Care Period Start Date to match the admission information as needed.
The Non-Admit feature allows the agency to mark the client as a non-admission if they are not coming on service. Once selected the “Non-Admission Details” window will display allowing the user to update necessary information. Once saved the client moves to the Non-Admit Client List.
To Upload Documents to a Pending Client (for example: hospital discharge records)
Clients -> Client Center
Select Pending from the status drop down list on the left hand side of the page
Locate and select the client from the Pending Client List
Once the client is selected choose Documents-Upload Document to upload documents to the client chart
To View uploaded client documents select Documents-View Documents.
