Who is responsible for "overs"?
Each collector will collect for any pts admitted under their ward physician  ie  If a Medicine pt. is admitted under the GAP Physician currently admitting to N5 and there is no bed available on N5 then the pt. will show up on the Physician census generated daily by EHealth/Pt. Reg. for N5, and the N5 collector will collect the data
