Collection instructions

Identifying EMIPs for laptops using PatientFollow model

They don't need to be separately identified, they are simply a patient who started on one of our services and is therefore listed on Cognos2 Service Starter.

Identifying EMIPs for laptops using location based identification of pts

  • same person/laptop as before will collect these
  • find them as you have in the past

EMIPs are distributed according to MRN number ending since October 15, 2020 and included in PatientFollow Project assignment amongst medicine collectors. Since EMIPs should appear on Admitter/CSS, so it is no longer required to find them as in the past.

Entering an EMIP

Background

We encode EMIPs as a Service/Location for legacy reasons - it is not really a location as much as a special case. Under our current infrastructure we would more likely encode these as a special case of Boarding Loc. Now that we are moving to a PatientFollow model where patient load is split by chart number, we are running into patients in ER where we are not yet sure if they will end up EMIPs or ward patients. Leaving Service/Location blank is not allowed, so we either need to delay entering or come up with a new solution. We decided this was a good trigger to finally make encoding them like other Boarding Locs.

Cleanup and integration still required

Will need to reconcile the following:

  • SMW


  • Cargo


  • Categories
