== Allan’s Suggestion for Bed Borrow Coding == | |||
*There are 2 sorts of bed borrowing when a TypeA patient should be in UnitA but is boarded in UnitB | |||
**(1) Patient is in Unit B but still under the care of TeamA -- this is coded in the database as a UnitA patient | |||
**(2) Patient is in Unit B and under the care of TeamB -- this is coded in the database as a UnitB patient | |||
*Here’s what they’re borrowing: | |||
**For ‘1’ the patient is just borrowing a bed | |||
**For ‘2’ the patient is borrowing a bed AND the service, i.e. TeamB | |||
*To capture all of this, we need to create 2 PAIRS of parameters -- that can be coded for each and every day. The pairs are a Flag + a FlaggedUnitcode | |||
**(a) Flag1 indicates that on the given day the patient is borrowing a bed -- the Unit code indicates WHERE that bed is. | |||
**(b) Flag2 indicates that on the given day the patient is borrowing a bed & service -- the Unit code indicates WHERE that patient would otherwise be located | |||
*Example: A=ACCU B=ICMS | |||
**In situation#1, set Flag1=1 and FlaggedUnitCode=ICMS | |||
**In situation#2, set Flag2=1 and FlaggedUnitCode=ACCU | |||
