Passage — Inpatient Admission & Discharge

Overview

Passage gives unit care teams and the admissions desk one shared view of the inpatient journey. Every patient sits on a five-stage ADT pipeline — Admitted, On unit, Discharge planning, Ready, Discharged — with their estimated discharge date, length of stay and a discharge-readiness checklist at a glance. The admissions desk admits incoming ED, direct, elective and transfer patients from the intake queue onto the right unit and bed. On the floor, the care team places admission orders, reconciles home and inpatient medications line by line, schedules follow-up and adjusts the EDD. Inter-unit transfers are requested by the care team and accepted by the desk without losing the trail. Discharge is gated: a patient can only be sent home once orders, medication reconciliation and follow-up are complete, at which point the clinician writes a full discharge summary. House census, occupancy and average length of stay are computed live, and every admission, order, reconciliation, transfer and discharge is audit-logged.
