Swing or swap locations are not real locations. While listed as in a swap location, the pt might still be in the old location or already be in a new location that gets entered after. Collectors seem to review the chart, make sense of what actually happened, and enter accordingly. If we engage in this manual sense-making, we can not use not use the [[Cognos EPR Report]] tools cleanly so would need to define how we deal with these patients.
