EMIP stands for Emergency Medicine "IN" patient and is used as a location / in the Medicine database. It is used for patients who are admitted to the medicine service and spend their entire admission under the medicine service in the ER (emergency department). We are tracking this as VIC_EMIP, GRA_EMIP, STB_EMIP and HSC_EMIP.

Collection Instructions

identifying patients

see EMIP Report; see individual articles (eg HSC_EMIP) for who collects this at which site, and see site specific collection guides for details on the collection process, papers, binders.

Entering patients

Patients discharged to other locations in hospital

Collection includes patients who are discharged to a non-medicine location in the hospital. So, if an EMIP patient is transferred to an ICU, that ICU would use e.g. GRA_EMIP as Previous Location. If a pt who starts out on the EMIP track turns into a medicine off ward patient, collect them as you would any other off-ward patient.

EMIP scenario

  • Entire LOS in ER under Medicine service and left your hospital to Home or died in ER
  • Entire LOS in ER under Medicine service and discharge to other locations under different service in your hospital
  • Entire LOS in ER under Medicine service and discharge to other locations under different service in another hospital

NOT an EMIP

  • if LOS has partial stay in ER under Medicine service and then move to a Medicine service ward (i.e. a regular Medicine admission)
  • if LOS has partial stay in ER under Medicine service and then move to other ward but under Medicine service (i.e. a case of OVER)
