An extra attending was added, presumably to offload the increased patient load at HSC. This "x attending" will see and admit patients under an "unknown service" in the ER, and these patients will be admitted to contingency or regular medicine ward beds. These patients will usually get assigned to a service sometime during their stay (it may take days), but on occasion, these patients remain under "unknown service" for their entire hospital stay.

If an "unknown service" patient's data collection is started on one laptop, and they are eventually assigned to the ward collected on a different laptop, then our current setup does not allow us to change the [[Service/Location]] to that.
