Our database used to collect patient ward stays, which meant the data of a patient could be processed by several collectors during the admission. This lead to extra, wasted work of different collectors familiarizing themselves with the same patient. {{PAGENAME}} was set up to change to a system where one collector keeps following a patient.

Currently patients are assigned to collectors/laptops based on where they are admitted. To change to the new system, we would need to identify patients who enter a given site and then assign them to the collector pool equitably. We are planning on a process based on the last two digits of the chart number. ~~We are currently developing the [[EPR Reports Integrator]] that will help facilitate this (aside from making dealing with reports easier in the first place).~~

=== If we split by chart number, how do we ensure no pts are missed or duplicated? ===

* '''duplication''' - there could only be duplication if you enter a chart number that is someone else's; your [[Cognos2 Service Starter]] will only show your patients, so you would not duplicate someone else's, and any risk of duplicating your own is no higher than it was with the old process.
