A Newsletter for DAISY Users

Tip of the Week

 

Situation

I moved a patient from his parents’ account to his own account. Part of the balance on the parents’ account ($50.00) belongs to the patient in question. How do I move that portion of the balance from the parents’ account to the patient’s account?

 

Solution

Post an adjustment on both accounts, subtracting the amount from one account, and adding it to the other account.

 

1.  Post an adjustment for “-50.00” (credit) to the parents’ account.

2.  Post an adjustment for “50.00” (debit) to the patient’s own account.

 

Additional Info

We suggest using the adjustment type “transfer” when performing the above steps. If you don’t have that adjustment type in your DAISY system, you can add it via List Maintenance, as follows:

 

DAISY menu > Configure > List Maintenance > Simple Lists (tab) > Adjustment Types (dropdown) > right-click > new item > type “transfer” > save and close.

 

It’s a good idea to put a note on each account and/or transaction, cross-referencing the other account. For example, add a comment to the credit adjustment on the parent’s account, indicating the account that the balance is being transferred to. Do the same thing on the other account, except indicate the account that the balance was transferred from.
