Revision as of 14:52, 2020 October 21
EMIP stands for Emergency Medicine "IN" patient. It is used for patients who are admitted to our internal medicine service and spend their entire admission under one of the medicine services we follow in the ER (emergency department). We are tracking this as VIC_EMIP, GRA_EMIP, STB_EMIP and HSC_EMIP.
Definition of EMIP
|
- Pt has an order or some entry that medicine has accepted the patient while still in ER.
- The patient leaves the ER to either
- home or
- any other out of hospital location or
- the patient is transferred within the hospital to any service because Medicine decides that they will not take the pt but the patient needs different care or
- dies in ER ("ED Death after Arrival" in Cognos)
- leaves AMA ("ED Reg/Triaged/Assess LAMA" in Cognos)
Patients in ER admitted under other services are not EMIPs
Our definition of EMIP includes only patients that were followed by one of our services. So, patients who were followed by Family Medicine or Trauma while still in the ER are not EMIPs.
Identifying EMIPs
Identifying EMIPs in Cognos Admitter
EMIPs show up in Cognos Admitter. Because they don't have a Unit Arrive DtTm they filter to the end of the list when sorted by date.
If a patient is listed who is still in the ER at the time the list is reviewed (i.e. it isn't clear if they will turn into a fully arrived patient or an EMIP), ...
|
Identifying patients (old way, in EPR)
EMIPs will show up under:
- the Transfer Register if they are sent to non-medicine units in your hospital.
- EMIP's in this list will be those under the medicine or internal medicine service that subsequently changed service before leaving ER and were transferred out of ER to a local hospital ward or unit. (not a medicine ward).
- see instructions for Off ward field to also identify some EMIP patients. See this under the title "how to identify off-ward patients" in that article.
- the Discharge Register if they leave the hospital
- When reviewing the discharge list generated by the instructions, the EMIP's are those that have medicine or internal medicine under the "service" heading.
Discussion about identification process
question that has nothing to do with EMIP but for which I would like an answer Ttenbergen
|
Entering patients in dispo tab fields
- Service/Location field - your Generic HSC_Med, GRA_Med, STB_Med
- Previous Service field - likely emergency medicine, unless some other service accepted them prior to medicine, and was never able to get them out of the ER either, and medicine accepted the patient from them - in order for a pt to be an EMIP they must have been accepted by Medicine for admission otherwise they would just be an Emergency patient
- Accept DtTm field - the time Medicine accepted them, i.e. the time they became an EMIP
- Arrive DtTm field - same as Accept DtTm field
- Previous Location field - use normal instructions
- Dispo field - For EMIP pts, you cannot put discharge to an ER, so if that is where they went, put the place they went after ER (usually a ward).
Follow the instructions in Boarding Loc, Service tmp entry, Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry; if you do, none of these special instructions for EMIPs should be required. That's part of the point of going to the new scheme.
- In Tmp Boarding Loc enter ER with the same Date/Time as Accept DtTm field
- Service tmp entry - Enter the service that accepted the pt, eg. "HSC Internal Med / A Medicine" or "HSC Critical Care / General" with the same Date/Time as Accept DtTm field
- Transfer Ready DtTm / Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry - only use this if the pt is going home. Otherwise use "not transfer ready".
Collecting an EMIP who has been transferred to your location
Collection includes patients who are discharged to another service's location in the hospital. (eg Med to CC or CC to Med)
- if an EMIP patient is transferred to an ICU, that ICU would use e.g. GRA_Med as Previous Location
|
- For Pre-admit Inpatient Institution = GRA_Med
- For Previous Service = Medicine
- If a pt who starts out on the EMIP track turns into a medicine Boarding Loc patient, collect them as you would any other Boarding Loc patient.
EMIP scenario
- In ER under Medicine service and left your hospital to Home or died in ER
- In ER under Medicine service and transferred to other locations under different service in your hospital
- In ER under Medicine service and discharged to other locations in another hospital
NOT an EMIP
- In ER under Medicine service and then moved to a Medicine service ward (i.e. a regular Medicine admission)
- In ER under Medicine service and then moved to other ward but under Medicine service (i.e. a case of off ward patients).
