== The problem ==

We need to ensure this is dealt with ~~consistenly~~ in the context of [[Using Cognos2 to keep track of patients]] and [[Cognos2 Unit Starter]].

* We need to ensure this is dealt with consistently in the context of [[Using Cognos2 to keep track of patients]] and [[Cognos2 Unit Starter]]. [[CUS]] lists when someone arrives on a '''''unit''''', not in a bed. So, for [[GH-SWAP Location]]s it is immediately visible that pt is there, but for [[SBGH Swing Beds]] it is not.

* Since EPR/Cognos lists these patients as being physically on the unit already (just in a swing bed) and we list them (correctly) as still being in the ER, this could result in discrepancy between our reports and other hospital reports. This can't be fixed, but is good to know if we are ever asked about reasons for discrepancies.

=== The solution ===

== The solution ==

We considered whether there are ways to deal with these in the data/filters/programs, but since the scenarios when and how these would be used aren't entirely predictable it was decided to keep these a manual process. See [[SBGH Swing Beds]] and [[GH-SWAP Location]] for details.

~~Neither of these will show in [[Cognos2 Ender]] since that is based on service rather than unit.~~
