**IP LIST
It is a report pulled from HIS [Hospital Information System], which gives the list of current admission at that particular time.

Our responsibility is to make sure that the patient's admitted under insurance have approvals for in-patient services until that time, If the approval is not there need to request documents from ward for extension etc.

The IP List is prepared at 3 different times at-least with continuous updates as and when we receive any information from the ward or the doctors.

First at 8 am, as soon as the morning duty staff logs in, then at 1 pm, by the employee on afternoon duty and at 7 pm. A copy needs to be handed over to PRO at 7 PM and if any approval is not there, need to inform PRO, Ward & Billing Team

- Login to HIS,
- From the tabs select REPORTS,
- Then click on favorite reports,
- Select IP LIST from the line items and then, Click on CSV, a dialogue box will open, select “open” to view the list in excel format.

A: Approved

P : Private or Cash patients

*: Needs approval or extension

D: Discharged

4D: For discharge

WA: Waiting for approval

Sometimes if the patient is admitted in the late night, there will only be a verbal approval taken by the ER doctors, we need to Clear the IP's first by requesting claim form and card copy form the ward before moving on the OP requests and follow up's.
