To determine transfer times the first set of vital signs is the guide. Medicine collectors at HSC can find the transfer time by looking at the first set of vital signs in MICU. Unless there is a clearly documented time elsewhere in the chart the ward transfer time is usually 10 minutes prior to first set of vitals. It is a rare occurrence that those vital signs are not done. Collectors do need to be careful as there can be many days of addendum sheets.

== inter-facility documentation for transfer date/time ==
The WRHA Inter-Facility Transport record has an excellent record of transfer times. On the right hand side of the page the transfer of care time is the time that the patient is admitted from the sending facility. This record also tells you the pick up location.
* {{discussion}} This information would be helpful for other collectors, not just HSC ICU. Is the inter-facility transport record available at all sites? If so, maybe this should be moved into the article [[Admit,_Transfer_and_Discharge_date_and_time#Transfer_Date_and_Time]]. If I don't hear concerns within a week, I'll move it.
