Collection Instruction

Only for patients admitted from your own hospital's ER department enter the date/time that the service physician accepted the patient, leave blank for all others.

• For admissions arriving via the ER the Accept DtTm is the Service Start DtTm in the Patient Viewer Tab Cognos ADT2; you can click on this DtTm to automatically populate it into the Accept_DtTm field

Direct Admissions/Transfers

For patients who have been accepted from another hospital but have a wait time in ER (who used to be called Direct Admissions/Parked in ER), use the visit ID date and time for the Accept DtTm field as it is clearly marked in the EPR.

Data Use

Patient flow

• medicine program: to monitor delays to move patient from ER to Med ward bed
• as of July 2016 onward - ICU same purpose

Accept DtTm is used as part of the formula to calculate delay in the transfer of patient from ER bed to Med ward or ICU bed - see ER Delay. This measures the amount of time for the patient already accepted in Medicine or Critical Care service but still using the ER bed and resources.

Legacy

• 2017_January: also enter lines in TMP for all AcceptDateSources.

• The source for gathering the accept date/time may vary from site to site see #Possible documentation locations

• 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. Resp. field L_Log.R_AdmDate and L_Log.R_AdmTime
  • 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).
