Get the "accept to Medicine date/time" from one of the following in this order of preference:
== CCMDB Data Integrity Checks ==
#physician's note accepting patient to their Service
* Minimal_Data_Set#CCDMB_Data_Integrity_Checks for patients with Dispo DtTm before 2016-07-01
#from the hospital admission sheet (e.g the white admission separation?/triage sheet at HSC)
#Often the actual time of admission is documented in the IPN (integrated progress note)) which is a hand written admission note by the nurse. We at HSC in medicine use this.--[[User:CMarks|CMarks]] 08:10, 26 January 2012 (CST)
** New form "Admission Request Form From Emergency Department" first line has Admit Order Written followed by date and time which is accurate.--[[User:CMarks|CMarks]] 08:54, 2015 January 29 (CST)
*** is this form used across the region? If not, this info should go into [[HSC Medicine Collection Guide]] resp [[HSC General Collection Guide]] instead. Ttenbergen 16:41, 2015 January 29 (CST) {{discussion}}
 
*FOR THOSE PATIENTS ADMITTED FROM E.R: use the date and time from the "accepted to service" on the [[EPR]] orders. i.e. in the epr, click on orders, then highlight the order that says "admit to inpatient-medicine-medical service". Right click on that order. Scroll down to view, then across to history, then across to status. Click on status. Use the date and time as listed in the top "new" order. This is the date and time the patient is accepted to medical service.
*FOR THOSE PATIENTS ADMITTED FROM ANOTHER WARD: use the date and time plus five minutes from the discharge date and time of the sending ward. [[User:DPageNewton|DPageNewton]] 15:17, 20 June 2011 (CDT)
* FROM ICU WITH A STOP IN DIALYSIS FOR TREATMENT: use the time they left ICU plus five minutes as the admit time to medicine. This was decided at the April 4,2013 task meeting.
 
====Source for this information - STB Medicine====
*For Acute Care Medicine patients at STB - use the Doctors orders on the [[EPR]] as date/time accepted to Medicine Service.
*for Non Acute Care (C service) medicine patients at STB - use [[EPR]]'s registration tab/visit location/location history, for date/time accepted to medicine service.
 
==== For admissions from: '''ICU''', '''ambulatory''' or other '''medicine wards''' ====
For patients admitted directly from an ICU, ambulatory care or other wards the admission date/time is the date/time that they actually arrive to the medicine ward.(exception is if they have dialysis see above)
Also consider the [[Transfer time rule]].
