== Limits at the new end of the data ==

=== Data after midnight is excluded ===

The dump only goes to about midnight the previous day. This means that short stay patients that were admitted after that and already discharged the next day can't be captured quickly while the chart is still available on ward/unit; this means the chart access becomes a medical record request and data that could have been entered immediately under the old process now gets delayed, possibly by weeks.

There is nothing we can do about the limit at the new end, it's the nature of how Cognos is set up.

=== Corrections may arrive with a delay ===

Sometimes data is initially entered wrong and then corrected. And sometimes, there is a dump with that incorrect data, and then maybe several days later, a dump that has changed, corrected data. This may result in a patient initially not showing up in a listing, but then showing up a few days later. It might also result in e.g. entering a unit entry, and then a few days later a conflicting entry shows up as either location or date/time are corrected. These will be caught by our various Cognos listings because those listings will suddenly no longer find a match.
