===From Cardiac Cath Lab===
A patient goes to emergency, then is sent to the cardiac cath lab for an angiogram. The pt can't really go to the cath lab without a cardiologist involved, so sending service would be cardiology. (as discussed at 2016-06 team meeting)

** There is an exception to this rule:  The previous service is who was looking after the pt before the heart cath in some situations. For example, if ECMO is done in the heart cath lab : If the pt was on a ward or unit prior to the procedure, the service is whatever ward or unit it was that sent the pt there.  For example, if ER sends a pt for a VV ECMO, the ER is the sending service, unless ICU takes over the pt prior to the ECMO.  This was discussed at the task group meeting on June 21, 2017.
