| All ward admissions in the Medicine Database [[MedTMS]] and all Medicine patients who appeared in the Critical Care Database [[TMSX]]. If a patient is admitted to a Medicine service, stayed in one or more Medicine wards or came from/went to ICU and then discharged from the hospital, the individual length of stays in each of the wards will be summed up. The LOS is accounted to the first ward the patient was admitted. The Medicine and Critical Care databases are combined to monitor any movements of Medicine patients. See the comments below for details on how to link the flow of movement of patient within the hospital.

| Two approaches to link patient's admissions within a hospital stay when a patient appeared more than once in the database ,'''1)''' link the admissions if the patient is transferred to or came from, an ICU/another ward/went to OR within the hospital '''2)''' do not link the patient if the next admission is a new admission. Both will produce same results.
