=== Special Case - Consult before admission or after discharge from medicine  ===
{{DL |
The following was written within the data entry instructions: "** for consults that are initiated prior to the first [[Service tmp entry]] use the dttm of the first [[Service tmp entry]]". But down here it seems to say to only enter that there was a consult if the the med team writes a new order, in which case there would be a new dttm that is within range. So these seem contradictory to me. Am I missing something? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 16:46, 21 November 2025 (CST)

* is this really a "don't enter that"? If so it should go under [[#Exclusion]]. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 16:46, 21 November 2025 (CST)
* or is it an "aware of patient transfer from other source" for "consult received" - in which case it should be a sub-bullet under that entry
