Any new admission will result in a new service start. Use the [[Cognos2 Service Starter]] to find all new admissions. Records that have been added show up green, records that have not yet been added show up white. Enter all new records, including records where the patient is still in the ER (i.e. not clear yet if they will ever reach a unit or become what we used to think of as an EMIP / ECIP). When you enter a record, it opens in [[Patient Viewer Tab Cognos ADT2]] where you can also enter any other services and units that patient is listed for in the Cognos data.  
Any new admission will result in a new service start. Use the [[Cognos2 Service Starter]] ([[CSS]]) to find all new admissions.  
All lines in [[CSS]] should be dealt with on each shift, including records where the patient is still in the ER (i.e. not clear yet if they will ever reach a unit or become what we used to think of as an EMIP / ECIP). Once you are in a record from CSS, deal with any additional service or unit/[[Boarding Loc]] entries while you are there.
 
Services for which no profile with that chart number exists yet will have a "white +" button. Enter these first, they are most straightforward.
 
Services for which there is a profile with the same chart number will have a "green O" button and a peach plus. For these, have a look at the profile start dttm and dispo dttm listed underneath the service dttms. Usually it will be easiest to click the "green O" for these. In [[Patient Viewer Tab Cognos ADT2]] you can then add the service if there was a service change on the same profile. If it instead turns out you need a new profile, click the [[Patient copier button]] in [[Patient Viewer Tab Cognos ADT2]] to make the new record.

* I am still streamlining the peach pluses to automate more of the predictable decisions but ran into some strange stuff with sent and deleted pts so leaving it somewhat manual for now.

Once you add a service to the profile, the line will disappear from CSS. If you enter the service with a different time than listed in Cognos, the line will not automatically disappear; exclude these services where you used a different time so they don't clutter your [[CSS]].
