Yes, the POTUS retains his position until the inauguration of the new POTUS. However, there's no formal process for determining the president-elect as such. It's more or less a colloquial term for the person who appears to have won a conclusive majority of electoral college votes. By tradition, the president-elect is "declared" by media networks.
