== Follow between medicine/critical care or just within one program ==

~~For now~~ we ~~are testing this~~ just following patients within the same program, ~~eg if a patient were admitted~~ to ~~a medicine ward, then ICU, and then back~~ to ~~the same medicine ward, then the medicine collector would get the two med admissions, and the CC~~ collector ~~would~~ collect the ~~ICU stay. This may change in the future but would require fairly significant changes to [[CCMDB.accdb Data Integrity Checks~~]] ~~and other settings in [[CCMDB~~.~~accdb]].~~

Initially we were just following patients within the same program, but later we moved on to [[Change to having each collector collect both programs on the same laptop]].

~~=== Programming that would need to be updated to be able to use a laptop across programs ===~~

* cross checks have been checked as part of previous project, should work

** Julie did additional analysis by looking at the distribution of the '''last two digits''' numbers from last 5 years 2014 to 2018 as follows: 1) all sites together, 2) each site separately 3) each year from all sites separately and 4) each site and year - the distributions showed similarity with few peaks in some numbers. She grouped the last two digits numbers into a) 10 subgroups (e.g. 0-9,10-19,20-29, …, 90-99 ) and b) 20 subgroups (e.g. 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, …, 95-99) and their distributions showed uniformly across subgroups. Each of the 10 subgroups showed counts close to 10% while each of the 20 subgroups showed counts close to 5%. The histograms are in ''X:\CCMDB_Special_Projects\Project_PatientFollow_ChartNumberDistribution''. The results support the viability of using the last two digits of the chart number in allocating patients among the data collectors. Additional analysis info is in S:\MED\MED_CCMED\ChartLastDigitAnalysis\NormalizedCounts_Comparison\2_Paired T-Test and Data.xlsx

*** Additional analyses were done separately for Medicine and Critical Program for each site and 1) each year, 2) each quarter and 3 )each month to determine any seasonal variation across time. The distributions are generally uniform across subgroups with relatively few peaks. However, there seems to be some seasonal variation which is observed more in Critical Care than Medicine Program. The histograms are also in in ''X:\CCMDB_Special_Projects\Project_PatientFollow_ChartNumberDistribution''.
