=== Special cases - Exclusion STB Oncology patients ===
We don't collect the following as medicine patients
We don't collect Oncology patients at STB that are admitted only for chemotherapy. These are short stay patients with only nursing IPN entries. If these patients develop complications they are transferred to Internal medicine service for the duration of hospital stay.

** [[STB_Med]] - E6 Occasionally Medicine-Oncology service patients are admitted for Chemo treatments/observation, these patients are not included in the data base.

* "SBGH Internal Med / Oncology"
* If I excluded all "SBGH Internal Med / Oncology", "HSC Oncology / Radiation", "HSC Oncology / Medicine", would we miss any that we care about? Somewhere else this was described as "who are here only for chemo" - are any of them here for reasons other than chemo that we would want to collect? Ttenbergen 16:39, 2020 November 2 (CST)
* "HSC Oncology / Radiation"
** Does the above info answer the question about STB chemo patients? [[User:Ppiche|Pamela Piche]] 13:27, 2020 November 5 (CST)
* "HSC Oncology / Medicine"
*** It doesn't answer it explicitly. You tell me how this works for the chemo pts, but what I need confirmed before excluding the service altogether is whether there are ever pts other than chemo pts under that service that we might not want to lose. You are ''almost'' saying that, but I want to be sure we are not forgetting a scenario. Also, still waiting to hear back from Allan talking to Med leadership about this whole thing.

* patients admitted to HSC_H6 under "HSC Internal Med / Respiratory" or "HSC Internal Med / Neurology"
** H6 is also a medicine contingency ward, so we do follow some patients on H6 [[User:Lkaita|Lisa Kaita]] 10:59, 2020 November 4 (CST)


=== Special cases - Exclusion STB Interventional Radiology patients ===
* [[STB_Med]] - interventional radiology will admit a patient for an overnight procedure, we are not following these
* [[STB_Med]] - interventional radiology will admit a patient for an overnight procedure, we are not following these
* This is correct, we do NOT follow interventional radiology patients who stay overnight for procedures. Your first clue that it's not an internal medicine is the attending physician. The attending physician will be an interventional radiologist, not an internal medicine doc. [[User:DPageNewton|DPageNewton]] 08:11, 2020 November 19 (CST)
