PAS BEA - Allocating a TCI

The Patient will stay on the Booked Elective Admissions until the resources become available for them to have the procedure they have been waiting for. When these are available the patient will have a T C I allocated.

From the menu select T C I Events (HWTC) and search for the patient.

If the patient has more than one event on the B E A you will need to select the relevant entry you wish to allocate a T C I for.

Once selected enter A T (Allocate T C I) and complete the following data fields.

T C I Date ,– Enter the date the patient is to be admitted.

Time ,– Not a mandatory field but should be entered ensuring the patient knows the time they are expected to arrive at the ward.

Operation time ,– Enter if known.

Type Ay and press return to Accept. The T C I has now been booked ,– Remember to notify the patient.
