Accept DtTm field

This field is currently being implemented, please check the instructions and put a discussion for anything that isn't clear. 

The Accept DtTm field contains the date and time when the attending physician accepts a patient, i.e. the date/time a patient changes status from what is documented in Previous Service field to Service/Location field.

Collection Instruction

For all patients, if there is a record of the date/time that the service physician accepted the patient, enter this as the Accept DtTm. Collect this wherever available, but it is expecially important for patients coming from ER. If the patient is accepted and arrives at the same time, or if there is no clear record of the accept date/time, enter the Arrive_DtTm field and then click the "set accept_DtTm to Arrive_DtTm" button to copy the DtTm across.

Questions

I think they should all be clear now with the updated instructions above, but if not please put here.

• When a pt moves from ward to ward do you want us enter the date & time the transfer order is written in the "Accept DtTM" or the time the pt actually arrived to the unit and comes under the care of the new unit?

Legacy

This field is part of the 2016 Time and Place changes.

For medicine this concept is related to admit date and time (when pt is from ER). It does not simply replace the field, so this value still needs to be entered for patients not from ER.

For critical care this concept is related to Service Sending to ICU. (There is no comparable field in ICU for this in the old system).
