=== [[Direct admit]] ===
If a pt is physically in ER and officially under the care of primary service eg Neurology, then code [[Previous Service]] as Neurology.  
For a [[Direct admit]] via the ER, the previous service will be the primary service looking after the patient, prior to admission at your facility.
 
eg.. direct admit from Steinbach ER, previous service= emergency, direct admit from Steinbach ward, previous service= medicine or family medicine
If pt was not yet accepted, code [[Previous Service]] as Emergency Medicine.
