These are considered the highest level of care collected by that program. So,

* for a medicine patient on a med laptop, an ER/OR/PACU location is considered the same level of care as a HOBS unit

{{Discuss| To clarify the above, are medicine collectors required to enter a transfer ready Dt/tm for every medicine patient that transfers from ER to a medicine unit? Transfers from ER to a medicine unit usually depend upon bed availability on a medicine unit and not whether the patient is "transfer ready" The tmp entry will almost always (there are exceptions) be "not available" with check box. Is a Dt/tm entry to be included? If so, is the actual transfer date/time that is the same as the medicine unit start date/time to be used?

~~An example of this scenario with applicable entries would be helpful. Thank you }}~~

* for a critical care patient on a cc laptop, an ER/OR/PACU location is considered the same level of care as an MICU/SICU
