ALERT Scale timing of assessment: Difference between revisions

== Collection Instructions ==

* When a patient is admitted from the '''emergency department''', use the values that are closest but ''' prior to''' the time medicine service accepts the patient to their service (ie [[~~Accept~~ DtTm]]).

* When a patient is admitted from the '''emergency department''', use the values that are closest but ''' prior to''' the time medicine service accepts the patient to their service (ie [[Admit DtTm]]).

* The values do not need to be a complete "set" of VS, they can be individual values, but should be closest to but prior to the time medicine accepts the patient to their service.

* When patients '''move between wards''' or ''' from an icu to a ward''' use the values that are closest but '''prior''' to discharge/transfer from the sending service.

**Exception for STB Medicine: Patients transferred from ICU to ward use the values on arrival to medicine unit.

*'''For STB Medicine''' (since this is available on EPR): Patients transferred from ICU to ward use the values on arrival to medicine unit.

* For direct transfers to Medicine via the ER use the '''first value''' taken and recorded on the '''triage record'''.

* Direct transfers that bypass the ER take the value on arrival to your unit.

~~== vs [[Selection and timing of APACHE components]] ==~~

{{~~TT|~~

* Should we merge this with [[Selection and timing of APACHE components]]? Med doesn't collect all of these, but those that are collected should probably be collected following the same instructions... This especially should be reviewed since we no longer make a distinction between EMIPs and inpts for most other instructions. Should this instruction instead simply be:

** "Use the most recent value before service acceptance. If no value is available before service acceptance, use the first value available after service acceptance."

* if we reject this change, we should at least state once and for all that they are similar but different, and why. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:29, 2020 December 23 (CST)

** No, we can not merge these two because the definitions are still different. See further comments on counterpart page and integrate before deleting question. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 13:34, 2021 February 22 (CST)
