The admissions and dispositions report is a daily report of

• A. Admissions, Dispositions, Change of Status, Newborns, and Interward Transfers
• B. All Transactions Taking Place in the Admissions and Dispositions (A&D) Office
• C. Admissions, Dispositions, and Newborns Only
• D. Admissions and Dispositions Only

Answer: (A)

The admissions and dispositions report tracks daily activity that affects where patients are and what’s happening to them within the facility. It lists admissions (new patients entering the system), dispositions (patients leaving or being transferred out), change of status (eg, a patient’s status shifting from admitted to another category), newborns, and interward transfers (patients moving between wards). This full scope is needed to maintain an accurate, real-time picture of bed occupancy and patient flow, which helps with planning and resource management. The other options are narrower or omit certain daily events, such as newborns, status changes, or intra-facility transfers, so they don’t capture the complete daily picture like the one described.
