Data Collection work assignments at GRA

GRA uses Cognos EPR Report and PatientFollow Project to assign patients to laptops.

Other staff that can do shifts at Grace: p:Pamela Piche, p:Lisa Kaita,p:Allyson Alcudia

We communicate regularly and attempt to even out the workload by the less burdened collector completing collection on discharged patients from the busier areas, +/or entering the already collected data for the busier units on the laptop while the other collector continues to collect
