Purpose:  To provide information regarding the specific patient classifications and status of the patient visit.   These identifications are displayed to assist in selection of the appropriate case to process billing and other patient functions.  

1. Patient Types 
   
   
• Assigned during the registration or admission process
• Outpatient types are assigned to specifically identify certain classes of outpatients
• Inpatient types are assigned to specifically identify patients for placement in specific beds allowable for that patient type.  Inpatient types are directly related to the room rates for that patient type.
• Each patient type is either valid for specific classes of patients: Inpatients (I), Outpatients (O), or Emergency patients (E)
