OVER
OVERis used as a LOCATION in the Medicine database. This indicates a patient is in the hospital under a Medicine Physician Service care, but his entire LOS is in an "off service ward bed". For example
- OVER is used as location for Medicine service patients at the Victoria Hospital who are admitted from ER to a non-VMU bed (off service ward) for their whole stay. This patient has to be admitted to VMU before we track them. We use different serial numbers for this.
- OVER is used as a location for medicine service patients at Health Sciences Center for patient whose entire stay is on H7 (NON H4H side) of this unit.
- when a patient moves from Location HSC_H4H (HOB) unit non HOBs side of H7,
- new profile
- Location: HSC_OVER
- Record in Tmp the Move date and time same as admit date and time and put location H7
Discussion
- Could someone from the Vic clarify the definition above please? Specifically, if they are admitted to a non-VMU bed for the whole stay then how are they ever admitted to VMU for us to track them? Is it a question of admitting to a bed as opposed to admitting to a ward? Once that's clarified, please delete the discussion.Ttenbergen 11:16, 1 March 2010 (CST)

Medical Records has a file for Data Collectors in which there are Bed Census Services Reports given to us on a daily basis. These sheets record the clients name ID and which service the client is on and the Doctor.These clients are in emerg and not the wards yet. So what they have done here at the Vic is compare the names with the N5 S5 CTU S3 clients that are admitted and then make a list of the clients who are not admitted to those specific wards. Once that is done you check in Medical records for those names once they are discharged. This also applies for EMIP and OVER patients. We keep a specific log book combined serial log numbers for EMIP and OVERs.
