How we identify the overflow and EMIP patients:

*Danielle Smith, utilization facilitator, will email the data collectors weekly supplying them with a list of all medicine patients that were admitted to wards (other than E5, E6 and B5). She will also provide the list of EMIP patients that left the hospital without going to a ward. When Danielle is away our contacts are Evelyn Kim and Kathy Hendrickson-Gracie. These 3 ladies are aware of this and if a list is late in coming, just email to remind them.

*The definition of an EMIP is that the pt was never moved to a ward in the hospital but was accepted by medicine and spent all their time in ER. They may have been sent to other hospitals or home from ER.

*For EMIP patients use the dropdown "EMIP" in the location section on the E5 laptop. Complete all sections. For the overstay tmp, just put "DPST data missing" because a DPST sheet will not be done. You can still generate a color.

*~~You~~ cannot put discharge to an ER, so if that is where they went, put the place they went after ER (usually a ward). Do not put a transfer ready date and time unless the pt is going home. Just put "no transfer ready" in the tmp.

* For EMIP pts, you cannot put discharge to an ER, so if that is where they went, put the place they went after ER (usually a ward). Do not put a transfer ready date and time unless the pt is going home. Just put "no transfer ready" in the tmp.

*The definition of an overstay pt is that the pt was admitted to a ward where we do not collect data. The pt never goes to E5, E6 or B5 but is accepted and looked after by internal medicine on a different ward.

*For overflow patients, use E5 as the location but put OVZ in the variable 5 slot. (It does not matter if the pt is A, B or C service med.)
