This is a resource guide which documents collection processes for GRA MED site and serve as a reference for anyone who will pick up shifts at this site.
This page contains information specific to Grace Hospital '''Medicine''' collection only. See [[GRA General Collection Guide]] for information related to all Grace Hospital collection, and see [[Medicine Curriculum]] for information to all-site ICU data collection.  
*[[Medicine Curriculum]]
=='''Data Collection Office'''==
*our office is located at the Dorothy Wood Building Rm. 210
*the Dorothy Wood Building is a separate building from the main hospital, but is accessible through the tunnel system; the building can be found north of the main hospital, and is adjacent to the north parking lot off Booth Drive
*our mail is usually redirected to 5 North by the mail room (no one knows why)
*our office number is 837-0151 or local 2151 when dialed from within the hospital
*the office houses all the Grace database staff i.e. Medicine & ICU
*each data collector has a drawer in the filing cabinet, and we have an in basket system where each collector has a space for mail, messages etc.
*we keep a "news" or communication book on the desk for internal messages and communications
*we share a USB printer cable that moves from laptop to laptop as needed
*we share LAN cables for internet access as we have only 3 cables for 4 laptops at present
*all staff rotate turns purchasing Kleenex and replacement water cooler refills
*we have a water cooler with a tiny fridge unit, a coffee maker, kettle, and toaster in the office; larger items that need to be refrigerated can be kept in the community fridge down the hall from the office in the floor kitchen which also houses the community microwave
*we share the second floor with the Home Care Department, the Geriatric Nurse Practitioner, Leslie Dryburgh, the Program Director for Medicine, the Medicine Program Executive Offices, Wanda Guenther from the Breast Clinic, Gail Pearson the Bed Utilization Coordinator, and the local union offices for the MNU & UFCW
*CONFIDENTIAL WASTE is collected in a box in the office and is picked up by Materials Management on the last Wednesday of the month for shredding.  The date is marked on our calendar on the bulletin board.  The box needs to be sealed with masking tape prior to pickup, which is usually around 1330.  If you will not be available at that time, the box can be taken to the Home Care Office and it will be picked up there.
*PAY STUBS are delivered to the 5th floor nursing station and usually arrive the week after pay day. Please check the in box at the desk regularly as that is where the stubs and any other mail is delivered to.


=='''Grace Telephone Numbers'''==
==Areas of Data Collection at the Grace==
*Phone numbers at the Grace are different depending on if you are dialing from inside or outside the hospital; all numbers begin with the exchange 837 followed by 4 more digits.  If accessing from outside the hospital the last 4 digits would begin with the digit 0, if accessed from within, the local would be the same last 3 digits but with a 2 at the beginning

== Data Collection work assignments at GRA  ==
====[[OVER]]====
GRA uses [[Cognos EPR Report]] and [[PatientFollow Project]] to assign patients to [[Laptop identifier | laptops]].
*patients are admitted into off-service beds throughout the hospital and are difficult to track.
*Patient Reg prints a daily record of Medicine attendings for N3, W3 & N5 which documents which pts are admitted under each physician and where those pts. are located. 
*this list is printed daily, including weekends and is left for us to pick up 24/7 at the switchboard office across from registration; the first data collector in each morning is responsible for picking up the lists and distributing to the other collectors; we have decided the best place to leave the lists is in the ward admission/discharge binder on each ward
*pts. that are admitted into an overflow bed on an off-service unit are assigned a pt. location as follows:
* if the pt. belongs to the teaching service, the pt. location will be GRA_N3 with variable 5 OVZ
* if the pt. belongs to the non-teaching units, the pt. location will be GRA_N5 with variable 5 OVZ
=====Who collects "[[OVER]]s"=====
Each collector will collect for any patients admitted under their ward physician  i.e.  If a Medicine patient is admitted under the GAP Physician who is currently admitting to N5 ward and there is no bed available on ward N5 then the patient will show up on the Physician census generated daily by EHealth/Patient Registry for N5, and the N5 collector will collect the data.


=====[[Med Var 5]] OVZ =====
Other staff that can do shifts at Grace: [[p:Pamela Piche]], [[p:Lisa Kaita]],[[p:Allyson Alcudia]]  
Patient that are OVER's will have the code '''OVZ''' entered into [[Med Var 5]]


===[[EMIP]] start date===
We communicate regularly and attempt to even out the workload by the less burdened collector completing collection on discharged patients from the busier areas, +/or entering the already collected data for the busier units on the laptop while the other collector continues to collect
*November, 2010
*for definition go to [[EMIP]] article.
*the [[EMIP]] census will also be distributed daily and included with the census sheets held at the Switchboard.
*we keep an [[EMIP]] tracking record on the office bulletin board. The [[EMIP]]  patient names are listed after being found on the daily list from Patient Registry and then crossed off once they have been located on one of our other census lists.
*tracking and data collection is done by N3 collector.
