ADT (Admit, Discharge, Transfer)

ADT stands for Admit, Discharge, and Transfer, which refers to the processes used in healthcare facilities, particularly hospitals. "Admit" means bringing a patient into the hospital for treatment. "Discharge" is the process of releasing a patient when their treatment is complete. "Transfer" involves moving a patient from one unit within the hospital to another or to a different facility for ongoing care. These processes are crucial for managing patient flow and ensuring proper care throughout a patient's journey within the healthcare system.
