There should be a way to distinguish the cases who are from other hospital in Wpg, in other city, province, country, went to ER, assessed at ER and then decision to admit occurred at ER versus those who are direct admits but parked at ER. Suggestions to determine direct admits are 1) add a check box 'Direct Admit' 2)  Visit_admit_DtTm is the same as Accept_DtTm but this does not always happens 3) if the previous service is not 'Emergency Medicine' but there are also other services accepting patients at ER before handling over to Medicine ward/ ICU (e.g. neurology, cardiology, Nephrology). When this issue was presented to the 28Sept2017 Team Meeting, the group finds option 1 to be the clearest data and the easiest to implement for the data collector and for the analysis/reporting purposes. Tina needs to add the check box for 'Direct Admit' in CCMDB. --[[User:JMojica|JMojica]] 10:00, 2017 September 29 (CDT)

Direct admissions are patients who are accepted from another site and come directly to the next site.

Usually, these patients should go straight to the accepting ward at the second site. However they usually move through the ER and are sometimes delayed there. In that case, they need to be collected as Parked in ER.
