Admissions that no longer wait on a missing consent form
A hospital admissions office assembling patient records from referrals, payers and patients themselves, where a single missing item delayed a scheduled procedure.
The situation
A hospital admissions office. It assembles a patient record from sources it does not control, the referring practice, the payer and the patient, and has to have it complete on the morning of a scheduled procedure.
Clerks re-read every record on the day of admission to confirm nothing was missing. A missing consent form was often discovered when the patient had already arrived, and clinical staff were pulled into administrative chasing.
The rule Ceertia applies
A signed consent form must be present for every procedure listed on the admission plan.
How it runs
The case arrives from whoever sends it, with the referral letter, insurance authorization, consent forms, identity proof, prior records and pre-admission checklist. Anything missing is flagged on receipt.
Each rule returns a verdict with its evidence: what Ceertia saw, where, and why it concluded. Every verdict is stored with its rule version, source excerpt and timestamp. A use case per procedure type, declaring what an admission requires, including one signed consent per listed procedure. Records are checked as items arrive, so the gap is known and requested while there is still time.
Your team keeps the decision, on sourced evidence, with a full audit log.
