| If a patient is admitted from a GRA-CAU:
| |
| *[[Previous Location]] GRA-CAU
| |
| *[Previous Service]] as '''Family Medicine'''
| |
| *[[Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field | Pre-admit Inpatient]]: GRA-CAU

| *I was just speaking with Marusia and she told me that the CAU patients here at the Grace are being treated as admitted patients rather than ER patients. They are being admitted currently to 4 East under Family Medicine. The thinking was that they have been dealt with by ER but not deemed ready for discharge but they do not want them being seen as ER patients.

| === EMIP ===
| |
| In Sept 2017 Con investigated whether any patients in the CAU are ever [[EMIP]]s; she found that there should not be. If any collector comes across an EMIP from one of these locations, please update this.

| *If a patient is still considered an ER patient in a CAU, they can potentially be an EMIP if they get accepted by internal medicine but subsequently are discharged or sent to another hospital. At STB our CAU contains inpatients mostly under family medicine but can be under internal medicine (they are not under the ER physician). If the CAU is considered part of ER then I guess patients that are accepted by internal medicine and go out elsewhere could be EMIP's. It depends how you view the area. Is the CAU considered the same as ER or not? Management will have to determine how they want this done. Currently no one at STB collects data at all on the patients in the CAU. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 11:49, 2017 October 27 (CDT)
