Swap Locations: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

* The entry is '''not''' picked up by Cognos ''"because the swing bed entry is listed right after the er entry"'', it '''is''' picked up because it is a unit entry during the timeframe of a service admission.

* The swing bed is associated with whichever location it is a swing bed for. So, if the ER uses a ward swing bed, then maybe the real problem is that they should be using an ER swing bed? If they did, the pt would be correctly still listed as an ER

** Not necessarily, swing bed ~~entries are~~ not specific to ER only, and ER occasionally ~~uses~~ ambiguous locations for swing bed entries ~~that~~ are picked up by cognos resulting in a false ~~positive~~ (exclusion ~~patient~~) ~~showing~~ on cognos.

** Not necessarily, swing bed usage is not specific to ER only, and occasionally ambiguous specific locations (ie. a location unit that the patient does not physically go to) for swing bed entries are all picked up by cognos resulting in false positives (exclusion patients) to show up on cognos.

*** Clarification: In the data, a swing bed will always be associated with a unit and never with the ER. The locations are not ambiguous at all, they are very specific, but they may well be ''used inconsistently'', which is a different thing.
