The VGH has had two floors completely renovated and has moved two complete programs around. Initially when the medicine

data base started, the fourth floor was a mix between medicine and surgery. The North ward had 30 beds and the south ward had

30 beds, and the medicine/surgical patients were mixed up between the two sides. So origionally the data collection started

on N4. The surgical program got moved to our old LDRP ward, on the second floor. So now 40 beds of surgery reside on second floor.The VMU ward got placed on S4 and family medicine on N4. We never changed the PDA's to reflect the S4 change, left it I believe

So this S3 ward got added to the N4 ward and the same data collector collects both units. There can be anywhere from 10-20 VMU patients on unit 3 at any one time, it fluctuates. These patients are all medically stable with d/c planning issues. Are they PCH bound, Geri-rehab bound, awaiting HC, many things, but when they become unstable, they get moved off that ward. So there you have the story of the N4/S3 ward.[[User:WGobert|WGobert]] 09:21, 28 November 2008 (CST)

* The Vic is tracking overflows too, aren't they? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 15:12, 27 November 2008 (CST)

** At the Vic we track overflow patients. If a patient goes from ER to a non-VMU bed(off service ward) for their whole stay, they get followed as an OVER patient.This patient has to be admitted to VMU before we track them. We use different serial numbers for this. If a patient is admitted to VMU and spends their whole hospital admission in ER they are followed as an EMIP, and they too have the different serial numbers(same series as the OVER patients). However, a VMU patient may first go to an off service ward from ER and then get moved to a VMU ward, this is tracked by our moves in the tmp. table.Their first move captures the admit time to the off service ward, and their second move captures the time they move to the VMU ward.[[User:WGobert|WGobert]] 09:14, 28 November 2008 (CST)

*** Are OVER patients identified by their location entry or by a different field? If they are identified by their location then we need to list that location here. If they are identified by a different field then we should have a different article that describes tracking of OVER patients. The reference in the table should link to it.
