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.
Inclusion of some pt not attended by Internal Medicine Attendings
Generally we only include pts under Internal Medicine Attendings, but the following are exceptions where we collect even though pt is under other physician:
- all neuro patients (per Dan Roberts, see also HSC Medicine Collection Guide)
- many to D5 under service of nephrology, neurology, oncology (ward being a non-teaching medicine but those services continue to care for their patient unless accepted by Dr Dowhanic or Arneja(who won't handle the HD population))
- At SBGH Nephrology does admit to B5 and will on occasion take over a patient when they are transferred off service to 6AS.
exclude the following
We don't collect the following as medicine patients
- Oncology where they admit a pt just for High dose chemotherapy as primary admit
- STB E5 - interventional radiology will admit a patient for an overnight procedure, not following these
- STB E6 - Occasionally Oncology patients are admitted for the High dose chemotherapy as primary admit
there is no minimum stay requirement
There is no minimum stay requirement, if you can identify the admission, definitely include even short stay patients. (there was confusion about excluding short stays in the past)
Special cases
See Category:Overflow for various special cases, and whether they would be included or not.
