A list of charges that will be billed to the patient each day (or hour depending on settings) will appear on this page.

For a situation where a patient will require additional board charges, you can add the product to the patient from this page as well.

These board charges will only be applied to this patient or the duration of this episode.  Upon discharge, the custom board charges will reset back to defaults for the next patient.

Create and Print a list of all patients in a unit

To use the census page as a working checklist, you can find all the patients in a specific list, and print out a list.

Search for the unit and location, and when the results have appeared, click on Print Census.

Details regarding the patient appear at the bottom of the census screen.  This includes the current open episode and current open order.  

You can remove discharged patients from the census from this section of the screen.

Removing a patient from the census will ensure that the board charges for the patient will not be posted the next time the automated census charges are run.

Post Board Charges

If the auto-post board is enabled on the API, then board charges will be applied automatically.

If auto-post is turned off, you can manually apply charges.  Only patients who are in a location with charges associated with it, or who have had charges added, will post board.

Select the patients for whom you wish to add charges, and then click on Post Board.
