* I have seen a few patients in the database, who have admit from ZZ, yet they have a moved date a few days after being accepted to medicine.  Admit from should be HE not ZZ if there is a move.  If I see this then it is being interpreted as a direct to medicine from home but parked in ER.  Does this happen?  Let me know. (as per note from Trish from Dec 10.07)

** Before I left for mat leave the Moves were not yet collected. I was collecting for D4 at HSC who admit patients preop for renal transplants.  I would code admitted from ZZ, because they were not seen in ER, they were pre-screened for admission, and came directly to the ward to receive their kidney and presented directly from home.--[[User:JHutton|JHutton]] 09:44, 6 June 2008 (CDT)

**We have an interesting twist at the Vic: EMIP patients which stands for Emergency Medical In Patient. This occurs when a patient comes in to emerg, is admitted to medicine but physically remains in ER due to bed shortage. If sick enough, ICU is consulted & pt is transferred to ICU. So they are coded:admitted to medicine from ER per medicine data collectors, then transferred to ICU- in ICU we code admit from medicine ward NOT ER. --[[User:NMiller|NMiller]] 12:05, 19 December 2008 (CST)NMiller
