EMIP
In Sept 2017 Con investigated whether any patients in the CAU are ever EMIPs at HSC; she found that there should not be. If any collector comes across an EMIP from one of these locations, please update this. Template:Discussion
- need to resolve EMIP and figure out where that info will live. Ttenbergen 11:30, 2016 December 29 (CST)
- If a patient is still considered an ER patient in a CAU, they can potentially be an EMIP if they get accepted by internal medicine but subsequently are discharged or sent to another hospital.
- At STB our CAU contains inpatients mostly under family medicine but can be under internal medicine (they are not under the ER physician).
- If the CAU is considered part of ER then I guess patients that are accepted by internal medicine and go out elsewhere could be EMIP's. It depends how you view the area.
- Is the CAU considered the same as ER or not? Management will have to determine how they want this done. Currently no one at STB collects data at all on the patients in the CAU. --LKolesar 11:49, 2017 October 27 (CDT)
