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.

Collection Guideline

Follow the Temporary study guidelines with the following information:

Use Moves project entries.

For each patient move, enter the <? to, from?> ward as the item, and the date? time? at which <what> actually happened.
