~~==The timing~~ of ~~MOST score assessment==~~

This article explains which time/entry of vital signs to use for the [[ALERT Scale]].

#When a patient is admitted from the ~~EMERGENCY DEPT~~, the ~~MOST assessment is made using~~ values that are closest but''' ~~PRIOR TO~~''' the time medicine service accepts the patient to their service.

== Collection Instructions ==

#When patients move ~~BETWEEN WARDS~~ or ~~FROM~~ an ~~ICU~~ to a ~~medicine~~ ward the ~~MOST assessment is made using~~ values that are closest but '''prior''' to discharge/transfer from the sending service.

* 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.

[[Category: MOST | * ]]

*'''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.
