The Accept DtTm field contains the date and time when the patient is accepted from the ER department ONLY. This is applicable for both ICU and Medicine Database Program.
Collection Instruction
Only for patients admitted from your own ER department enter the date/time that the service physician accepted the patient, leave blank for all others.
- If there is no clear record of the accept date/time, leave the Accept_DtTm field blank and check Accept DtTm missing field check box.
- If there is an accept date but no time documented, entered the Accept Date, and enter the time as: 00:00
- If the Accept DtTm > Arrive DtTm, make accept = arrive
Template:Discussion The ICU standing orders at the Concordia are always written after the patient arrives.If I use those orders as the accept DtTm because no other time prior to this exists, then the accept would=arrive?GHall 08:00, 2016 October 31 (CDT)
Direct Admissions/Transfers
For patients who have been accepted from another hospital but have a wait time in ER (who used to be called Direct Admissions/Parked in ER), use the triage date and time for the Accept Date and Time as it is clearly marked on the triage sheet. The Visit Date and Time (found in EPR) may actually be later than the accept date and time, so don't use it as your Accept DtTm.
Possible documentation locations
- admission/separation registers
- hospital admission sheet (e.g the white admission separation/triage sheet at HSC)
- EPR
- use the date and time from the "accepted to service" on the EPR orders. i.e. in the epr, click on orders, then highlight the order that says "admit to inpatient-medicine-medical service". Right click on that order. Scroll down to view, then across to history, then across to status. Click on status. Use the date and time as listed in the top "new" order. This is the date and time the patient is accepted to medical service.
- Physician Order sheet
- the IPN (integrated progress note) which is a hand written admission note by the nurse. We at HSC in medicine use this.--CMarks 08:10, 26 January 2012 (CST)

Legacy
This field is part of the 2016 Time and Place changes.
For medicine this concept is related to admit date and time (when pt is from ER). It does not simply replace the field, so this value still needs to be entered for patients not from ER. Resp. field L_Log.R_AdmDate and L_Log.R_AdmTime
For critical care this concept is related to Service Sending to ICU. (There is no comparable field in ICU for this in the old system).
