5. Tina explained that when a data collector changes their employment status at a hospital but continues to collect data, they need to ensure that their computer status is not stopped or discontinued. Ensure that HR knows that you will be continuing to use the computer log in, outlook, etc.

'''6. [[Overstay Predictor Project]]''': [[p:Dr. Dan Roberts]] is working towards implementation of this new project which utilizes data that medicine collectors already collect. The [[~~MOST~~]] ~~score~~ and comorbid parameters will be used to formulate a prediction about a pt within 2 business days of admission. If a pt, based upon these parameters, is thought to be at risk for over staying in the hospital beyond when they are medically stable for discharge, then a multidisciplinary team will begin planning for discharge right away. It is hoped that this tool will facilitate a more timely discharge. The problems that need to be worked out for the data collectors is that vacation coverage will need to be guaranteed. It will be essential that data is done in a timely fashion so we will not be able to get behind on data collection. We plan to ensure better coverage by likely hiring a float data collector. We will also look into better use of casuals. When this study begins, only 2 sites will be pilot sites: STB and Grace.

7. Discussion about the use of [[:p:Category:Casual Data Collectors | Casual Data Collectors]]. They need to do some collection on a regular basis to remain proficient. Discussed the need to put the available hours on the wiki instead of the regional server so that the casuals can sign up for shifts more easily. [[User: PTorres | Pagasa]] will supply [[User: LKolesar | Laura]] with a list of the casual data collectors and she will email them to inform them of changes and to see if they still want to be on the casual roster. List of causal collectors and status can be found here: [[:p:Category:Casual Data Collectors | Casual Data Collectors]].
