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.

Alternatively, patients can be searched in EPR from the CSS list.  


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.

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]].

A 30 minute leeway between CSS and EPR service start date/time is allowed, for any dates/times outside of this range collect the "true" values.
