Getting started
Admitting a patient using Get HIS
You can populate the Demographics page
automatically, by pulling the demographic data of a
patient from the network. Prerequisite for this
network data transfer is the Infinity gateway with an
interface to the hospital Admit, Discharge, Transfer
(ADT) system. The Hospital Information System
(HIS) searches the database for the demographic
data of the patient by using the patient ID.
To admit a patient via Get HIS
Touch the left most field on the header bar to ac-
cess the Demographics page directly.

1 Select Start/Standby... on the main menu bar.
2 Select the Demographics tab (if not already

3 Enter the patient ID – use the symbol (C) next
to the Patient ID field to activate a keyboard for
entering the ID number (up to 13 alphanumeric
characters).
4 Select the Get HIS button (E) in the
Demographics page (see page 101). The Get
HIS button appears grayed out and is not
selectable when the HIS is not available or
when the Cockpit is not connected to it.

device causes a discharge at the other device.
