Moves for Medicine

We collect "Moves" data to assess

• the time delay from when a patient is first accepted to Medicine Service in ER (emergency room) to when the patient actually arrives in a medicine ward bed
• how much time an in-service medicine patient spends on off service wards while still under a medicine service physician's care.
