EMIP stands for Emergency Medicine "IN" patient and is used as a location in the Medicine database. It is used to as location for patients who are admitted to the medicine service and spend their entire hospital admission in the ER (emergency department) while under the care of Medicine Service attending physician. This sort of thing happens at the Victoria General Hospital and the Grace General Hospital
Serial numbers used
Patients in EMIP have their own serial numbers starting at number 1.
EMIP --> ICU
Template:Discussion What if EMIP patient doesn't come to medicine ward (making them no longer EMIP) but deteriorates and is admitted to ICU? Do you collect these as EMIPs? Do you omit them from collection? Discussed with Trish but we did not know what collectors do with these. The answer to this will also define whether or not "***_EMIP" needs to be available as in Previous Location field. Ttenbergen 17:34, 2016 May 9 (CDT)
- EMIPs are by definition Emergency Medicine Inpatients and never leave the Emergency Department until discharge. Their entire LOS is in the ER. They are not entered into the database until they have been discharged. If they are moved to any other unit, they are no longer EMIPs but are entered into the database for Medicine or ICU as appropriate. EMIP cannot be a previous location.
- The Previous Location field is the most recent physical location of a patient before they arrived at the collection location. EMIP is not a physical location. This patient would be admitted from a previous location of ER.
- Sending Service is the service that the patient was under the care of "prior to" being sent to collection location. Main office will review if patient is an EMIP then goes to ICU, does ICU reports want to note sending service to be Medicine Service in these circumstances? Will let you know.
