With the overstay project not needing this data now our main reason for collecting it is gone. This is still interesting data,but for the most part we want to collect because we actually use data, not just ebcause it's interesting. So, I propose we take to the steering committee whether we should continue to collect this. On this topic, email from Julie: | |||
"In the past and until now, Randy Martens is interested on the critical care population by geographic area and that is possible to do by having the patient's postal code. As a matter of fact, he thought we have that data before so he can do his postal code analysis. I am sure Randy would like the postal code data to be collected for the critical care database." | |||
