=== Finding new admissions ===

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.

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). If it is clear from the information in [[CSS]] that a service admission does not need to be collected, you can exclude it from [[CSS]], but if not clear, make the record from [[CSS]] and then do any further analysis from inside the record. 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. Simply click the white + to start the profile, even if you are not certain that you need to collect that patient. Once the profile opens you will see the unit the pt is on and other services. If you then realize this is not a pt you should collect, first use the [["exclude" button]] to exclude the service that put them on [[CSS]], and then use the [[♻️ button]] to delete the record. This should be faster than first looking up the patient in EPR to make sure if you should start a profile.
