ADT (Admit, Discharge, Transfer)
Real-time patient status notifications for hospital admissions, discharges, and transfers.
Complete Definition
ADT (Admit, Discharge, Transfer) feeds are real-time HL7 v2 messages that notify care teams about patient status changes including hospital admissions, emergency department visits, discharges, and transfers between units. ADT feeds enable care coordination programs to trigger timely interventions such as post-discharge follow-up calls, care transition protocols, and readmission prevention workflows. Health Cloud integrates with hospital ADT feeds via HIEs or direct HL7 interfaces to populate care coordination queues.
