Transfer_Tracker.mdb is a repository of patients currently under collection on our wards or discharged from collected ward within the last 7 weeks. The amount of time for which data is retained is limited since this is patient information and we can't keep it indefinitely without a good reason.  
Transfer_Tracker.mdb was a program to track patients across wards. Broke summer 2016, decided to abandon summer 2017. See article history for more information.  
 
It is used by data collectors in the Regional to cross check transfer locations, discharge dates/times of clients between hospitals in the city.
 
You can find the transfer tracker.mdb at
:: [[Regional Server]]\Output\Transfer_Tracker.mdb
 
It gets its content from the backup files.
*Data is ''automatically'' updated from the  laptop backup files on the Regional Server.  This is done '''each night at 03:30 hrs'''. 
**The batch file that does this automatically resides on a old computer on the desk of [[Tina Tenbergen]]. 
*You can also update transfer tracker.mdb ''manually'' to the most current data including today by pressing the ''update button'' and the top of the screen when you open this mdb.  When you open the program, it displays the data that was in the most recent data backup from the last time someone has clicked the "update" button it, and the date of that update in the top left corner.
