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
- Service/Location field - your EMIP (e.g. GRA_EMIP)
- Previous Service field - likely emergency medicine, unless some other service accepted them prior to medicine, and was never able to get them out of the ER either, and medicine accepted the patient from them -in order for a pt to be an EMIP they must have been accepted by Medicine for admission otherwise they would just be an Emergency patient
- Accept DtTm field - the time Medicine accepted them, i.e. the time they became an EMIP
- Arrive DtTm field - same as Accept DtTm field
- Previous Location field - use normal instructions
- See Overstay_Predictor_Project_Collection_Instructions#Possible_Scenario_-_EMIP_patient_that_never_made_it_to_the_ward for how to code overstay for these patients.
- Question: In regard to entering EMIP pts; in the Dispo tab we enter these pts under the service location button as EMIP; is the "off ward" check off box left blank for these pts? (JudyK. nov 16, 2016)
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)
