What does Arrived status indicate in ADT Arrival Status?

• A. Arrived indicates the patient is indeed in the ED; ED Manager appears in the 'Waiting' area
• B. Arrived indicates the patient is not yet checked in
• C. Arrived indicates the patient has been discharged
• D. Arrived indicates the patient is en route to the ED

Answer: (A)

Arrived in ADT Arrival Status means the patient has physically reached the ED and is present there, so ED staff can see them in the Waiting area and begin processing, triage, or registration. This status signals that the patient is no longer en route or not yet checked in; they are now inside the ED environment and awaiting care, which is why the ED Manager would appear in the Waiting area. That helps explain why the other possibilities don’t fit: not yet checked in would be before arrival is recorded, discharged means the patient has left the ED, and en route means they are still traveling to the ED and not yet arrived.
