==== Transfer time from Releasing time to care project ====
|headers=show
As of June 5/14:  3 North is participating in the trial of a program called Releasing Time to Care, an initiative that tries to diminish the amount of charting and communications required by nursing so as to release more time for them to give hands on care.  A large part of the program requires all disciplines to continually update multiple fields on a large white board at the main nursing desk, so that information is available at a glance to all health care disciplines.  One of the fields contained on the board indicates whether each pt is medically stable (indicted by Yes/No); this information is communicated to nursing by the physicians/housestaff when the pt becomes medically stable.  As per discussion with Trish June 4/14 following the Team Meeting, this feature can be used by Data Collection to indicate a transfer ready date in Access.  This will require that the Collector on 3 North refer to the board during each workday to see whether the medically stable status of any pt has changed.  If so, the date can then be recorded as the medically stable date for purposes of collecting a transfer ready date.

====[[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 hospital admissions by service-includes ER & elective surgery admissions. They also generate for us a daily listing of the ward censuses for N3, W3, TCU & N5 which documents which pts are admitted under each physician and where those pts. are located.  We compare the 2 records to make sure all admitted patients are accounted for, and this is where any EMIPs will be picked up.
*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 leaving them in the office for the others to collect
*as of April 23, 2012, the Pt Registration system has changed as have the forms that are generated with the intent of notifying us of offservice pt locations.  Please ensure that the Physician Inpatient Lists generated for your unit use the Unit <ALL> designation in the top left of the front page in order to catch pts located in offservice beds
*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"====
Other staff that can do shifts at Grace: [[p:Pamela Piche]], [[p:Lisa Kaita]],[[p:Allyson Alcudia]]  
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 ====
Patient that are OVER's will have the code '''OVZ''' entered into [[Med Var 5]]
 
===[[EMIP]] start date===
*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.
*separate log book is kept.
*data for EMIP's is entered into N3 laptop and files sent with N3 files.
