*When a pt comes to E5, E6 or B5 from an off-service ward (this includes 6AS), the data collector must go to the original presentation of the pt to see if this pt was accepted to medicine on the off-service ward prior to their arrival on their own ward.  If you see that the pt was looked after by internal medicine prior to their arrival from the other ward, make sure you start your profile on the original date that medicine accepted them (usually in ER).   
*When a pt comes to one of the medicine wards from an off-service ward, the data collector must go to the original presentation of the pt to see if this pt was accepted to medicine on the off-service ward prior to their arrival on their own ward.  If you see that the pt was looked after by internal medicine prior to their arrival from the other ward, make sure you start your profile on the original date that medicine accepted them (usually in ER).   
*On occasion medicine patients are transferred to off service wards, but are still admitted under the internal medicine service.  ie. patient transferred from E6 to 7AS (surgical ward) but still admitted under internal medicine. The attending may be different than the admitting service but it is still an internal medicine attending.  Please continue to follow these patients (new profile is '''not''' required) until they are discharged or transferred to an off service ward under family medicine or any other service other than internal med.  Please note the location in the RECORD box to indicate where the pt is currently located.
