I am hoping someone can help me out by explaining how they handle the
following situation.
OR Pre Schedules a patient for surgery, let's say for the 29th, then the
patient's doctor decides to have them come in on the 28th for an
outpatient procedure. Admissions wants to use the same encounter number
from the Pre Sch patient since they are going from Outpatient status
right over to inpatient status but because the patient is Pre Scheduled
Admissions cannot change the date of service when they admit them early
unless we have OR remove the patient's appointment. This doesn't happen
too often but it does enough to be a nuisance. Does anyone have a set
process on how they handle this?
