== 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.

*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.

* Why would this be an exceptional instruction for STB? What is different about the situation there that would lead to different instructions? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 11:12, 2021 April 1 (CDT)

**A set of vital signs are completed as part of medicine unit admissions from ICU and these values are available to collectors from EPR. [[User:Ppiche|Pamela Piche]] 11:51, 2021 April 14 (CDT)

*** That doesn't mean it should stay that way since we used to collect ''all'' of this only upon arrival. So let's discuss at Task what this should be. The difference is probably really minor, but if we have exceptions it should be clear why. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 13:57, 2021 April 1 (CDT)

}}

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