For each patient,

For each patient enter the option that most closely matches

* enter the option that most closely matches

* For medicine ward-to-ward moves, code "medicine" as previous service

** for medicine ward-to-ward moves, code "medicine" as previous service

* For ICU-to-ICU moves, code "Critical Care" if no other specific service is documented

** for ICU-to-ICU moves, code "Critical Care" if no other specific service is documented

* For pt from ER, code "Emergency Medicine" unless a different service had accepted them and is handing them off to Medicine

** for pt from ER, code "Emergency Medicine" unless a different service had accepted them and is handing them off to Medicine

* For pt direct from '''ambulatory''' not via ER, code "not applicable" if no other specific service is documented

* ~~for~~ pt direct from '''ambulatory''' not via ER, code "not applicable" if no other specific service is documented

* Patients admitted after having a problem during an outpatient procedure are more complicated

**Such procedures include: GI endoscopy, bronchoscopy, cardiac cath, invasive radiology, procedures done at surgicentres, etc.

~~{{DA | For non in-patients admitted direct~~ to ~~med via ER from~~ endoscopy-is ~~this considered ambulatory care? Also~~, ~~for gastroenterology service what~~ is ~~entered:~~ "'''~~other (known~~ but not on list~~)'''~~"~~? Thanks! }}~~

**If the patient goes DIRECTLY from the outpatient procedure area to a Medicine ward or an ICU, then code the type of physician who was doing the procedure:

***e.g. if it was a GI endoscopy, then the previous service was "GI", but as GI is not specifically listed in the dropdown list of services, then list is as "other"

***e.g. if the patient was sent from the procedure area to the ED AND he/she was actually an ED patient (under the care of the ED docs) then code "Emergency Medicine"

***e.g. if it was a GI endoscopy and the patient was sent from the procedure area to the ED ''AND'' he/she was not actually an ED patient, but instead was taken care in ED by the GI service which did the procedure) then the previous service was "GI", but as GI is not specifically listed in the dropdown list of services, then list is as "other"

* if the service is not listed, code "other (known but not on list)"

** in these cases we don't care about the details; if we see too many others we may add additional options in future
