***the definition of an EMIP for the purposes of our database is a pt that is located in ER, gets accepted by medicine but never moves to any ward of that hospital. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 08:32, 2016 November 3 (CDT)

**** Ah. Old definition. That's exactly why we should not have details addressed in other articles duplicated in the local instruction, they get left behind when these definitions change. See [[EMIP]]: "patients who are admitted to the medicine service and spend their entire admission under the medicine service in the ER". So, someone can be EMIP and then get admitted to ICU, where our ICU collectors should catch then, and would need to use e.g. STB_EMIP as previous location. The question is, how do we want to treat patients who are EMIP but then end up on a family or surgery ward? Will flag that for Julie and Trish. Ttenbergen 19:16, 2016 November 3 (CDT)

*When we do overflows (instructions how to retrieve this list on EPR are listed in this article above), then we see if these patients have been accepted to medicine (in ER) but have been put on a non-acute-medicine or non medicine service ward for their entire stay: this is the definition of an overflow.

See [[Overflow]] for definitions and general collection information.
