=== Overflow patients ===

==== Process for identifying Overflow Patients ====

# Go to Citrix Apps on Desktop

# Click on EPR Reports

# Log in with username and password  (same as your initial log into your computer)

# Click on “Patient List Reports”

# Click on “Transfer Register”

# Fill in Facility (hospital you are checking)

# Put in a time frame that you wish to search.  Do not use the current date as you want it to reflect full days, not a partial day.

# Fill in unit as "emergency" of the correct facility   

# Under “unit filters on”, select “from or to”.  All other fields remain unchanged.  

# Click on "View Report" button.  

# Scroll though the list to look for only internal medicine patients that went to off-service wards.  (Do not count patients that go to ICMS).   

 

# Write down a list of these patients with their chart numbers on a paper.

# Place this list on the bulletin board in the medicine office so that both medicine data collectors are aware that there are medicine service patients on off-service wards in the hospital.

 

* If these patients ultimately get transferred to one of the medicine wards (E5, E6 or B5),  then the data collector that does that ward will enter those patients on their laptop, reflecting their entire stay from the admission from ER. In the dispo tab the [[Off ward field]] must be ticked off as they were off ward for part of their stay.   

* If these patients get discharged from the off service ward to home or out of hospital location, then these are considered overflows that must be entered on the E5 laptop.
