2025-05 Revision of concept around ICUotherService
We recognized an embarrassingly complicated mesh of meaning between ICUotherService/Service Location/Boarding Loc/Service tmp entry and decided to stop collecting ICUotherService and replace it with Intended1stSrvc.
ICUotherService was coding the info as a pair like "ACCU under MICU service", which could become inconsistent with what was collected in the Service Location in the case when both the service and the location were borrowed. This meant we didn't report on this correctly for a long time. Since location is already conclusively coded in Boarding Loc, and Service in Service tmp entry, we just needed a way to code when the patient was not being taken care of by the service that "should have" taken care of them on admission. We added Intended1stSrvc to collect that part and will stop collecting ICUotherService.
