For Critical Care, see Definition of an ICU_admission

The definition of a "Medicine patient" for the Regional Medicine Database is:

  • admitted under a Medicine service attending physician. If patient doesn't meet this definition then we don't collect data and enter into the Medicine database.

Collection for medicine patients starts at Accept DtTm ie possibly while in ER.

Include Neuro and Nephrology patients

We collect all the neuro patients per Dan Roberts instructions.--CMarks 13:42, 2015 July 8 (CDT), CMarks 11:21, 2015 July 25 (CDT) See also HSC Medicine Collection Guide.

  • I admit many to D5 under service of nephrology, neurology, oncology -[ward being a non-teaching medicine but those services continue to care for their patient unless accepted by Dr Dowhanic or Arneja(who won't handle the HD population).--Llemoine 07:51, 2016 October 7 (CDT)

    • I do not do medicine all the time but I have never seen a pt under neurology or nephrology service admitted to the medicine wards here. However they can be the sending service and they can be consulted. --LKolesar 14:12, 2016 October 6 (CDT)

        • Yes, any specialialty can send a pt to medicine (like surgery, cardiology, etc), but from what I see, they are always admitted under the medicine service. The only exception I have seen is Oncology where they admit a pt just for High dose chemotherapy as primary admit but our database does not include these patients (they are considered a bed borrow). --LKolesar 07:32, 2016 October 7 (CDT)

there is no minimum stay requirement

There is no minimum stay requirement, if you can identify the admission, collect the patient. (as discussed with Julie and Trish Ttenbergen 11:19, 2016 November 10 (CST))
