OVER

OVER is used as a LOCATION in the Medicine database. This indicates a patient is in the hospital under a Medicine Physician Service care, but his entire LOS is in an "off service ward bed". For example

1. OVER is used as location for Medicine service patients at the Victoria Hospital who are admitted from ER to a non-VMU bed (off service ward) for their whole stay. This patient has to be admitted to VMU before we track them. We use different serial numbers for this.
2. OVER is used as a location for medicine service patients at Health Sciences Center for patient whose entire stay is on the NON-HOBs side of H7 of unit.

HSC MED Collection instructions for Entire Stay in NON-HOBS on H7 at HSC

These are HSC med patients that are moved FROM HOBs side on H7 or FROM other medicine wards TO NON HOBs side of H7 and remain there until discharge home or death, never making it to a medicine ward bed on any of the wards we collect on.

• new profile
• Location: HSC_OVER
• Record in the Tmp the MOVE date and time the same as admission date and time but put:
  • move TO location H7T for teaching or
  • move TO location H7N for non teaching
• use the H4H serial number collector share plan for the OVER patients.

• can you clarify if HSC med wards move patients from A4, B3, D4 or D5 to NON HOB from the wards?
• If this is the case, don't need to create a new profile for them, just follow them as continuous from med ward or origin, but indicate in TMP move FROM and TO-TOstryzniuk 15:02, 23 December 2010 (CST)

HSC MED Collection Instruction for partial stay in NON-HOBs on H7 then move to ward

These are HSC med patients who move FROM HOBs side TO NON_HOB side of H7 then move TO a WARD we collect on (A4, B3, D4 or D5)

• no new profile required
• The LOCATION must the ward they move to.

We are planning to change the location label of H4H to just HOB. Must discuss further in main office because it impacts a number of program. Will let you know. --TOstryzniuk 14:34, 23 December 2010 (CST)

Discussion

• Could someone from the Vic clarify the definition above please? Specifically, if they are admitted to a non-VMU bed for the whole stay then how are they ever admitted to VMU for us to track them? Is it a question of admitting to a bed as opposed to admitting to a ward? Once that's clarified, please delete the discussion.Ttenbergen 11:16, 1 March 2010 (CST)

Medical Records has a file for Data Collectors in which there are Bed Census Services Reports given to us on a daily basis. These sheets record the clients name ID and which service the client is on and the Doctor.These clients are in emerg and not the wards yet. So what they have done here at the Vic is compare the names with the N5 S5 CTU S3 clients that are admitted and then make a list of the clients who are not admitted to those specific wards. Once that is done you check in Medical records for those names once they are discharged. This also applies for EMIP and OVER patients. We keep a specific log book combined serial log numbers for EMIP and OVERs.
