Inpatient Visitor Sign-in

The Inpatient visitor sign-in workflow associates a visitor with a current patient. Guest users have a range of tools to determine whether the visitor should be allowed to see a patient.

Waiting

A security screen will be conducted in the background if it is enabled for the Patient Visitor Guest Type. After the security screen is completed, the visitor will appear on the Wating tab.

While the visitor is waiting, a Guest user can do the following:

• Review the patient’s approved and denied visitor lists.

• Review the number of visitors currently signed in to see the patient.

  Note: This number does not account for visitors who are in the waiting stage.

• Add a note to the visit.

• Mark the visitor as a guardian. By making this selection, the visitor’s badge will include the indicator Guardian.

A Guest user can update the visitor’s status in 3 ways:
