*Since this field is related to er wait in the medicine program do you want this field used when the pt transferes from D4 to A3 to D5 (medicine to surgery to medicine)? Judy april 13th, 2016.

*If it is medicine service sending the pt do you still need to fill this field in for the medicine program patients, or only if they come from a different service?--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 14:29, 2016 April 14 (CDT)
** it would be "Emergency Medicine" unless a different service had accepted them and is handing them off to Medicine
** updated the instructions above to address this, if now clear please remove this section. Ttenbergen 16:02, 2016 April 18 (CDT)

=== Nursing Home Wards (HSC/GRA)===
===Grace Nursing Home===
*currently we treat these pts as discharges or readmits from Grace Nursing Home ie not as a continuous admission or interhospital transfer.  These pts are covered by one of the Medicine attendings while here.  Do you want the previous service to be entered as Medicine then?

* there is the option of "direct admission" under the previous service, so if a patient comes from ambulatory care clinic direct to the ward do we select direct admission or the service they saw in amb care? [[User:Lkaita|Lisa Kaita]] 08:46, 2016 April 15 (CDT)

* There is no option in the drop down for a patient coming from ACF.  Previously, we would just put "not an inpatient" but this option is not in the selection.  (This is for the ICU people).  --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 10:04, 2016 April 15 (CDT)
** Interesting question; the intent there was just to replace the "direct admit" from [[ER Wait]]. But what should be the right entry? Will need to look into this. Ttenbergen 16:02, 2016 April 18 (CDT)
