Admitting patients to assessment units

In Nervecentre, assessment units are for patients who need an initial assessment or planned review, but they aren't staying overnight. For example, for patients visiting Medical Assessment Units (MAU), GP Assessment Units (GPAU), or Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC). Your organisation decides how they use assessment units in Nervecentre.
