The Patient Registration Clerk does the important first stage of the Health Information Management cycle of processes through the registration of patients (including inpatients, outpatients, ambulatory care patients and emergency patients) in the computerized admission/discharge/transfer system. They are usually one of the first points of contact for patients as they enter facilities. They process preadmissions, admissions, and discharges, print, review and/or maintain list of available beds. If requested, they compare patient information to available beds and provide available bed options to appropriate clinical staff. The registration clerk also liaises with and/or receives information from nursing/physician personnel on unit regarding bed assignment and enter site approved bed assignments in the bed booking roster as directed or as per specific established procedures.
