Run Any Report, Including Those That Reveal Patient Information

Purpose

The Automated Patient Discharges report shows the discharge events of badged patients during a specific time period. The report can be run for all units or a selection of specific units. It includes the details of which patients were discharged, when they were discharged, where they were located at the time of the discharge, and the source of the discharge. The report can be helpful in gauging the utilization of discharge drop box locations to discharge badged patients.

This report is available only if the Capacity Management Suite® solution is fully integrated with the TeleTracking Real-Time Locating System™.
