Moves for Medicine
We collect "Moves" data in the L_TmpV2 to augment the admit-from and discharge-to information which does not identify date/time or location details.
How and What to collect
<needs content> Template:Discussion
Purposes of Collecting move data
ER Delays
To assess the time delay from when a patient is first accepted to Medicine Service in ER (emergency room) to when the patient actually arrives in a medicine ward bed.
Off-ward care
To assess how much time an in-service medicine patient spends on off service wards while still under a medicine service physician's care. (we will assess this in one year and see if there is any useful information there).
Legacy Data
- Collection was started September 1, 2007
- Collection of Moves data made tagging of “overflows” in variable slots 3 & 5 at the VIC redundant (Nov 1.07 stopped).
Data Structure
We capture medicine ward patient movements (moves) in L_TmpV2. The data is sent to and stored in TmpV2_1.mdb.
