This is the outcome of an agreed admission to a patient on an Elective Admission List.

Patients are taken off the Elective Admission List once they are admitted into hospital. If treatment is then deferred because of a lack of facilities, or for medical reasons e.g. the patient may have a cold or unacceptably high blood pressure, the patient is discharged with the outcome of the agreed admission recorded as Patient admitted - treatment deferred. A new decision to admit and a new elective admission list entry will then be made for the patient.
