Line 1:

'''Med Var 2''' is used track the specific ward a patient was '''[[Admit From & Discharged To|discharged to]] ''within the same center'''''.

The ~~purpose of~~ this variable ~~is for Julie~~ to link profiles from one ward to another when both wards are within the database program.

The [[statistician]] uses this variable to

~~{{discussion}}~~

* link profiles from one ward to another when both wards are within the database program

* ~~If that~~ is ~~the only purpose~~ then ~~we should only list~~ the ~~wards we collect on and lump all others together. If this information is used otherwise it should be described here~~. ~~[[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:25, 13 October 2011 (CDT)~~

* detect a likely continuous stay when a pt is discharged from one of our wards to a non-collected ward and then re-admitted to one of our wards from the same non-collected ward.

Possible values are listed in the Var 2 dropdown box in the CCMDB.mdb, which is driven by the [[S varOptions]] table.

~~== discussion - can't leave code blank ==~~

If the specific ward you are discharging to is not available on this list use "OTH". Please also note down the ward that was missing on this page.

"If the ward you ~~send~~ to is not ~~in the drop down~~ list just leave variable 2 blank because this information is only used for wards within the program. I have added this clarification after discussion with Julie. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 11:31, 13 October 2011 (CDT)"

* Leaving the code blank is not allowed. Suggest we don't just allow it since it would allow forgotten entries through. Instead I could add an "~~other~~" ~~entry to the list~~. Please ~~let me know in here if~~ that ~~is how we should proceed~~. ~~[[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:23, 13 October 2011 (CDT)~~
