For Critical Care, see Definition_of_an_ICU_admission
The definition of a "Medicine patient" for the Regional Medicine Database is:
- admitted under a Medicine service attending physician. If patient doesn't meet this definition then we don't collect data and enter into the Medicine database.
Collection for medicine patients starts at Accept DtTm ie possibly while in ER.
Include Neuro and Nephrology patients

- Does something similar happen at STB or other hospitals? Ttenbergen 14:04, 2016 October 6 (CDT)
- I do not do medicine all the time but I have never seen a pt under neurology or nephrology service admitted to the medicine wards here. However they can be the sending service and they can be consulted. --LKolesar 14:12, 2016 October 6 (CDT)
- Anything similar for other subspecialties? Ttenbergen 14:15, 2016 October 6 (CDT)

- Yes, any specialialty can send a pt to medicine (like surgery, cardiology, etc), but from what I see, they are always admitted under the medicine service. The only exception I have seen is Oncology where they admit a pt just for high dose chemotherapy but our database does not include these patients (they are considered a bed borrow). --LKolesar 07:32, 2016 October 7 (CDT)
other minimum requirements?
- I just heard that there is some requirement to have been on the ward for 20 minutes with at least one set of vitals. Do any other collectors use this requirement? Ttenbergen 14:14, 2016 October 6 (CDT)
- I was told that years ago.--CMarks 14:38, 2016 October 6 (CDT)
