Accept DtTm field

The Accept DtTm field contains the date and time when the attending physician accepts a patient from the ER department ONLY. This is applicable for both ICU and Medicine Database Program

Collection Instruction

Only for patients admitted from the ER department, if there is a record of the date/time that the service physician accepted the patient, enter this as the Accept DtTm. If there is no clear record of the accept date/time, enter the Arrive_DtTm field and then click the "set accept_DtTm to Arrive_DtTm" button to copy the DtTm across.

If the Accept DtTm > Arrive DtTm, make accept = arrive

Legacy

This field is part of the 2016 Time and Place changes.

For medicine this concept is related to admit date and time (when pt is from ER). It does not simply replace the field, so this value still needs to be entered for patients not from ER.

For critical care this concept is related to Service Sending to ICU. (There is no comparable field in ICU for this in the old system).
