==== 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 should be coded separately for each day, if applicable. Each pair comprises a binary Flag combined with FlaggedUnitcode | |||
**(a) Flag1 indicates that on the given day the patient is borrowing a bed -- the FlaggedUnitCode indicates WHERE that bed is. | |||
**(b) Flag2 indicates that on the given day the patient is borrowing a bed & service -- the FlaggedUnitCode 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 | |||
*THUS, here is how the 2 kinds of pieces of data sought by administrators related to bed borrows would each be calculated: | |||
**Administrators for UnitA want to know how many bed-days in a given interval that they had TypeA patients boarding elsewhere. This number is the sum of the following 2 things: | |||
***#Bed-days in the given interval that patients assigned to UnitA had Flag1=1 + | |||
***#Bed-days in the given interval that patients assigned to any other unit had Flag2=1 AND the FlaggedUnitCode for Flag2 was UnitA | |||
**Administrators for UnitB want to know how many bed-days in a given interval were taken up by boarders from elsewhere. This number is the sum of the 2 following things: | |||
***#Bed-days in the given interval that patients assigned to UnitB had Flag2=1 + | |||
***#Bed-days in the given interval that patients assigned to any other unit had Flag1=1 AND the FlaggedUnitCode for Flag2 was UnitB | |||
