description
This file contains the site specific parameters which are used by the Admission, Discharge and Transfer (ADT) modules. The parameters are set by using the 'DGPAR' routine or the 'ADT Parameters' menu option. The parameters are used to identify such things as your facility hemodialysis unit, your admission/discharge/transfer types, your divisions (if multi-division facility) and the devices to which you desire your 10-10's, routing slips, etc., printed to. The ADT parameters must be set prior to running ADT.
