ADT (Admission-Discharge-Transfer) Systems

ADT (Admission-Discharge-Transfer) Systems are an important part of a hospital’s financial system. With their ability to track the admissions, transfers, and discharges of patients, an ADT system tells a hospital how many patients they have at any given time and the length of time that each patient has been in the hospital for. With this information, hospitals are able to calculate their rate of bed turnover and the average length of stay for each patient.
