To assign a patient to the Waiting Room

The Waiting Room feature allows you to register patients in the ED and assign them to the waiting room until they are seen or moved to a bed. Assigning patients to the "waiting room" is the default selection when using quick registration for a patient.

  1. From the Bed Management window, in one of the fields next to WR1, begin typing the patient information in Enter visit # or Patient name field. You can type letters or numbers. For details on using the patient search features, click here.

    If a patient(s) already exists in the waiting room, the Enter visit # or Patient name field is not enabled. Click + add patient to display a new patient field and then follow steps 1-4.

  1. Highlight and click the desired patient when it appears in the list. The patient name and date of birth are displayed in the field.

  2. Click Tracking Board (in the lower right corner) to continue to the Tracking Board window. Or, click Save (in the top right corner) to save the information and return to the Dashboard. If you wish to return the Dashboard without saving, click Back to Main.

  3. To add additional patients to the Waiting Room, click + add patient. A new patient field is displayed. Repeat steps 1-3.
