Site and Location table

This table shows Hospitals/Sites and locations where we collect data and their codes for entry into the Location field. In some circumstances you will need to use the hospital and location on their own, and in some they will be combined. If they are combined, they should be written as <hospital>_<location> (eg HSC_A4).

Details for Grace W3 / E3 / S3

The data for Grace W3 actually includes the east(E) and west(W) wings of the third floor. Apparently at some point, the Grace refers to W3 & E3 as ward S3. Since we had been collecting data for a year or two before this came up, we decided not to change our location label.

Details for STB ICU

• STB_MICU and STB_SICU were combined into one unit called STB_MICU on Jan.15, 2007
• Cardiac Care Unit STB_CICU was established Jan 15, 2007

Details for Vic N4/S3

• The VGH has had two floors completely renovated and has moved two complete programs around. Initially when the medicine data base started, the fourth floor (N4) was a mix between medicine and surgery. The North ward(N4) had 30 beds and the south ward (S4) had 30 beds, and the medicine/surgical patients were mixed up between the two sides. Originally the data collection started on N4. The surgical program got moved to our old LDRP ward, on the second floor. So now 40 beds of surgery reside on second floor. The VMU ward got placed on S4 and Family Medicine totally moved to N4. We never changed the PDA's to reflect the S4 change, left with PDA setting of N4.
  • According to Tina, there would be major problems with Handibase/Active Sync Programs if change was made the reflect the S4 change.TOstryzniuk 12:45, 3 December 2008 (CST)

    • They are using laptops now, if we want to change this we would need to decide exactly what we want to do and then implement. Ttenbergen 14:03, 11 September 2009 (CDT)

Unit 3 is a medical rehab ward. It has 30 beds. However, both the Family Medicine program and the VMU program admit patients here. So this S3 ward got added to the N4 ward and the same data collector collects both units. There can be anywhere from 10-20 VMU patients on unit 3 at any one time, it fluctuates. These patients are all medically stable with d/c planning issues. Are they PCH bound, Geri-rehab bound, awaiting HC, many things, but when they become unstable, they get moved off that ward. So there you have the story of the N4/S3 ward.WGobert 09:21, 28 November 2008 (CST)
