When a patient returns from AWOL or absence, you record the return against the existing AWOL or Absent record. The process is the same for both, the only difference is which menu option you select.
Record a return from AWOL or absence
Access the Bed Layout View and click the bed of the patient returning from AWOL or absence.
Select the appropriate option from the Leave menu:
For detained patients: select Return from AWOL.
For non-detained patients: select Return from Absent.
The Mental Health Client AWOL or Absent screen is displayed, showing the details of the existing record.
Enter the return date and time in the Return Date & Time field.
Select the End Reason from the drop down list, this is a mandatory field. Select the reason the period of AWOL or absence has ended (e.g. Returned Voluntarily, Returned by Police, Returned by Carer).
Click Save.
The return is recorded. The bed image changes back to Occupied.
