Since the definition varies from site and unit, for the Statistician to get the correct admission date time to the ICU which is to be used to calculate [[Length of Stay (ICU Report)]], the admission start date and time must be entered in the [[Service Tmp entry]] as its first service entry '''Start date and time'''.
