*To use the ER WAIT (DIRECT ADMIT) in the TMP section, the pt must have come from another location (other than your own hospital ER)~~this~~ setting means that the pt came usually from another hospital and the sending physician has already discussed the pt with the medicine doctor at the receiving hospital. The medicine doctor has already agreed to accept the pt to their service. The pt goes to ER because they need to still wait for a medicine bed, but the pt has been accepted by the medicine service on arrival.
