Site and Location table
This table shows Hospitals/Sites and locations where we collect data and their codes for entry into the Location field. In some circumstances you will need to use the hospital and location on their own, and in some they will be combined. If they are combined, they should be written as <hospital>_<location> (eg HSC_A4).
- Also see: S Locations

Details for Grace W3 / E3 / S3
The data for Grace W3 actually includes the east(E) and west(W) wings of the third floor. Apparently at some point, the Grace refers to W3 & E3 as ward S3. Since we had been collecting data for a year or two before this came up, we decided not to change our location label.
Details for STB ICU
STB_MICU & SICU
- the units were combined into "one unit" called STB_MICU
Date of change
January 15, 2007
STB_CICU
- Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit STB_CICU was established
Date of change
January 15, 2007
NEW - STB_CCU service patients in STB_MICU unit - Collection Process CHANGE for LOCATION and Registry Patient Type
Template:Discussion some of this information is repeated in link above. Clearer details here but I am not sure how best combined since one article is about registry type and the other is about site location and both are related "changes" for STB cardiology patient overflowing into CICU and MICU.--TOstryzniuk 15:03, 10 December 2010 (CST)
- Cardiology (CCU) Service Patients that are physically located in the STB MICU but are looked after by the Cardiology Service physician will collected and entered into the database with a Site_location as: STB_MICU. CCU overflow into STB_MICU location.
- Cardiology Service Patients that are "physically located" in the STB_CICU but are looked after the Cardiology Service physician will collected and entered into the database with a Site_location as: STB_CICU.
- Registry Patient Type for the above two scenerios will be coded as C to indicate the patient is under Cardiology Physician Service Care. CCU overlow into STB_CICU location.
- If MICU attending physician takes over their care, a NEW profile will be started
- Site_Location for the NEW profile will be STB_MICU
- Registry Patient Type will be coded as M to indicate the patient is under Medical Physician Service Care
- The Statistician who uses SAS programs to link continuous admissions, will update her SAS program so that an admission FROM Site_Loc, STB_MICU TO Site_Loc,STB_MICU, will not be flagged as an error. The distinguishing feature of these cases will be Registry Patient Type, which will indicate the Physician Service Care the patient is under will in the STB MICU unit.
- If the patient is moved FROM STB_MICU TO STC_CCU location on the fifth floor, a new profile will again be used:
- Site_Location will be STB_CCU
- Registry Patient Type will be coded as C to indicate the patient is under Cardiac Physician Service Care.
This is for STB location only. --LKolesar 15:54, 20 October 2010 (CDT)

Details for Vic N4/S3
- The VGH has had two floors completely renovated and has moved two complete programs around. Initially when the medicine data base started, the fourth floor (N4) was a mix between medicine and surgery. The North ward(N4) had 30 beds and the south ward (S4) had 30 beds, and the medicine/surgical patients were mixed up between the two sides. Originally the data collection started on N4. The surgical program got moved to our old LDRP ward, on the second floor. So now 40 beds of surgery reside on second floor. The VMU ward got placed on S4 and Family Medicine totally moved to N4. We never changed the PDA's to reflect the S4 change, left with PDA setting of N4.
- According to Tina, there would be major problems with Handibase/Active Sync Programs if change was made the reflect the S4 change.TOstryzniuk 12:45, 3 December 2008 (CST)
- <Tina could you expand on this part of the PDA story>TOstryzniuk 12:45, 3 December 2008 (CST)
- They are using laptops now, if we want to change this we would need to decide exactly what we want to do and then implement. Ttenbergen 14:03, 11 September 2009 (CDT)
Unit 3 is a medical rehab ward. It has 30 beds. However, both the Family Medicine program and the VMU program admit patients here. So this S3 ward got added to the N4 ward and the same data collector collects both units. There can be anywhere from 10-20 VMU patients on unit 3 at any one time, it fluctuates. These patients are all medically stable with d/c planning issues. Are they PCH bound, Geri-rehab bound, awaiting HC, many things, but when they become unstable, they get moved off that ward. So there you have the story of the N4/S3 ward.WGobert 09:21, 28 November 2008 (CST)
STB ward change B5 to E6
October 14th all new new admits on this day change location to E6.

Move dates:
- If the B5 admit date was “on” or after Oct 14 then moves data should be to E6.

- If the admit date of the other ward was October 13th or “earlier” then var 1 should be FROM B5.
- If the admit date of the other ward was “on” or after Oct 14 then var 1 should be FROM E6.
- If the discharge date of the other ward was October 13th or “earlier” then var 2 should be TO B5.

- Need to clean up table above further.TOstryzniuk 20:37, 18 January 2010 (CST)
- Trish, you asked me a long time ago if I could help clean this up. I would like to set this up as headings and sub-headings rather than a table. If that's OK with you I'll take care of it. Just let me know. Ttenbergen 10:28, 3 November 2010 (CDT)
- Yes, that would be great! Thank you.-TOstryzniuk 14:54, 10 December 2010 (CST)
