Collection includes patients who are discharged to other locations in the hospital. Should have been like this all along, but the definition said otherwise. Please collect as this going forward, as discussed with Trish and Julie. Ttenbergen 11:18, 2016 May 16 (CDT) | Collection includes patients who are discharged to other locations in the hospital.

{{discussion}} what other locations do you mean? If the EMIP is admitted to a bed on a Medicine ward, they are no longer EMIP but are captured in the Medicine database; if they are transferred to ICU, they are no longer EMIP but are captured in the ICU database. If they go to an overflow bed on any other ward but are admitted under Medicine, they will be captured in the Medicine database, and entered as overflow. My understanding of the definition of an EMIP is a patient who has been accepted to Medicine but for whatever reason, never makes it to a Medicine ward, but is discharged directly from ER to a location outside the current facility ie home, another acute care facility, expires | {{discussion}} what other locations do you mean?

* Even with the new definition, those patients that are discharged/transferred/admitted under MEDICINE, but to another ward other than an active medicine ward that we collect on, should not be considered an EMIP but rather an admission in our medicine database, as either an overflow (if they spend their entire length of stay on another ward) or as a regular admission in our medicine database if they are at sometime transferred to an active medicial ward. I believe what Trish and Julie want to capture is if the patient is under MEDICINE in ER for any length of time, and are then admitted to an off service ward, under A DIFFERENT SERVICE (ie. surgery, critical care etc) then we are to capture those patients as EMIP patients. We need clarification on this...... [[User:Lkaita|Lisa Kaita]] 13:42, 2016 May 16 (CDT) | |||
