Moves for Medicine: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:23, 2009 September 16

We collect "Moves" data to assess

the time delay from when a patient is first accepted to Medicine Service in ER (emergency room) to when the patient actually arrives in a medicine ward bed
how much time an in-service medicine patient spends on off service wards while still under a medicine service physician's care. (we will assess this in one year and see if there is any useful information there).

Collection was started September 1, 2007
Collection of Moves data made tagging of “overflows” in variable slots 3 & 5 at the VIC redundant (Nov 1.07 stopped).

We capture medicine ward patient movements (moves) in L_TmpV2. The data is sent to and stored in TmpV2_1.mdb.
