Admission from ER at other hospitals

• If a patient comes from another hospital for example from Gimli ER, then the pt goes to the ER at your hospital, and Medicine has accepted the patient as a direct admission- you put "admitted from XE". If the intention was to directly admit from the sending facility, then in the tmp file put in the move time to the ward. At the bottom of the tmp file put "parked in ER".

Data integrity check on sending

• If you forget to enter a hospital previous code when X* or Y* are coded as "admit from", you will get an error message in ACCESS and will be unable to send your files the the regional server.
