Which term is used to indicate that the patient is physically in the facility?

The concept being tested is how patient arrival is recorded in the workflow. When a patient physically arrives, staff perform a sign-in to mark their presence in the facility. This check-in updates the encounter status, triggers the care team to begin the exam flow, and helps with room assignment and timing of the visit. The other terms refer to different functions: SmartLink is about linking data across systems, Stork relates to obstetrics/nursery workflows, and Surescripts handles electronic prescriptions. None of those indicate that a patient has appeared in the building the way Sign In does.
