Admitting Transient Patients
You must admit a patient as a transient when the admission is temporary—less than 30 days or no more than 13 treatments.
Admitting a patient as a transient allows the patient to remain admitted to his/her home facility in CROWNWeb (without being discharged), while temporarily visiting your facility.

Clinicals for Transient Patients
Transient patients are not required to have labs drawn until after they have had six treatments at your facility.
If a transient patient does not have any labs drawn during their visit, the facility must complete the minimum required fields in HD or PD clinical (those with a red asterisk (*) or have a checkbox, such as Sodium Education and the Vaccinations).
The minimum required fields do not require lab data—just a simple selection or data entry.
