****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. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 07:50, 2016 November 4 (CDT)

***** We are talking about two different things. You are talking about a patient who continues to be attended to by medicine after the ER, but not in the usual physical locations; those are overflows. I am talking about a patient who is attended to by medicine in the ER, but who is then admitted to a non-medicine ward/unit '''and attended to by that non-medicine service'''. Example would be a patient who deteriorates and goes to ICU. We want to track those patients as EMIPs. Ttenbergen 11:42, 2016 November 7 (CST)

*****When a patient arrives in MICU I will always check the transfer orders. It clearly shows there if the pt had been accepted by medicine service in ER before the pt came to the ICU. In this case I will put STB EMIP as the previous location. (this is very rare) --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 08:08, 2016 November 10 (CST)
