Include all patients meeting the [[Definition of a Medicine Program Admission]].

=== Which laptops will they be collected on? ===
* At sites that use [[PatientFollow Project]], patients will be assigned to laptops based on that.
They will be collected on the laptops assigned as per [[PatientFollow Project]].
* At STB, until they join [[PatientFollow Project]], patients in COVID locations will collected by Pam/S5 [[Laptop identifier]]; if there are special cases/exceptions, please note them here

=== How will they be entered on the laptops ===
* Use '''the home unit for the service that covers the patient''' as the [[Service/Location]] (e.g. for HSC H service pt on COVID unit, enter HSC_H4)
See [[Boarding Loc]]
* Enter a [[Boarding Loc]] entry of <your site> - COVID unit (e.g. "HSC - COVID unit") for any admission to and time spent in a COVID unit
** enter the actual location into the comment field, e.g. JK3


* If the patient moves to another unit from a COVID unit:
== What to enter for [[Pre-admit Inpatient Institution]] [[Previous Location]] / [[Dispo]] for patients from/to Covid units ==
** at [[PatientFollow Project]] sites, or if the move is to a [[Service/Location]] also collected on this laptop, enter a [[Boarding Loc]] entry for this move
* Just enter the generic <site>_<program> (e.g. HSC_Med)
** at non-[[PatientFollow Project]] sites, and if the [[Service/Location]] is not collected on this laptop, discharge the patient from this laptop as they will be collected by the corresponding other collector
 
* If the patient moves to the COVID unit from another unit:
** at [[PatientFollow Project]] sites, or if the move is from a [[Service/Location]] also collected on this laptop, enter a [[Boarding Loc]] entry for this move
** at non-[[PatientFollow Project]] sites, and if the previous location is not collected on this laptop, discharge the patient from the first laptop and enter them on the laptop responsible for the new [[Service/Location]]

*As in the first wave will we exclude those patients that are not under any of our medicine services?  Ie. neurology and respiratory patients but we do include nephrology patients.  
** I figured we would filter by service, in which case that would be addressed. We would need to figure out what to do with Nephro. Ttenbergen 22:30, 2020 October 8 (CDT) }}
