However, a VMU patient may first go to an off service ward from ER and then get moved to a VMU ward, this is tracked by our Moves for Medicine data. Their first move captures the admit time to the off service ward, and their second move captures the time they move to the VMU ward.
- Is this now tracked as ER Wait? If so please change the link above. Template:DiscussionTtenbergen 13:09, 27 July 2011 (CDT)
