We used to track the track the time accepted medicine patients spent in the ER before physically arriving on the ward/unit in the tmp file. See [[ER Delay]] for how this is tracked now.  


== Purposes of collecting "ER Wait" data: ==
Review article history for legacy info, deleted to avoid confusion.  
To assess the "time delay" from when a patient is first accepted to Medicine Service while in the site's own ER (emergency room) to when the patient actually arrives in a medicine ward bed of the same hospital. (This is done in conjunction with [[Admit date and time | admit time]]).


== Legacy Info ==
*Start Date: June 4, 2011
**NOTE: September 1, 2007 ER Wait was included with Moves Tmp Project Data for Medicine
*Change Date: July 1, 2016
**old TMP Project ER wait data from June 4, 2011 to Jun 30, 2016 for Medicine profiles, was migrated into the ''Accept DtTm field''


== Collection Guideline ==


For every patient admitted from the ER, enter date and time arrived to medicine ward bed

}}
*Any patient admitted '''from the ER''' must have one ER Wait date/time entered into tmp file. It does not matter if first bed moved to into an in-service or off-service bed.
 
*project: '''ER_Wait'''
*as appropriate one of the following items
**'''ER admission''' - is a patient who is admitted '''TO a medicine service physician ''' '''FROM a '''ER physician service.
**'''[[Direct admit|Direct Admission]]''' - A direct admission means direct admission '''TO medicine physician service''' but for some reason parked in ER before going to a ward bed. These patients are NOT admitted under a ER physician service prior to being accepted to medicine service. (NOTE: Inter-facility transfers in the region, e.g. ward to another hospital's ward, are not included in this project.)
 
*the date & time arrived in med ward bed from the unit log or nurses note.
 
===TMP file entry===
*PROJECT:
**ER_Wait
*ITEM:
**ER Admit (NOTE: For Medicine this is the '''ward arrival''' date and time)
**direct admit
*Column E:  Date (arrived on ward bed)
*Column M:  time (arrived to ward bed)
 
{{Discussion}}
*The Item label, in TMP, for this project would prefer it to be changed to: ''' ward arrival''' rather than ER Admit. This is more intuitive label.-[[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 18:23, 2015 December 8 (CST)
 
== Collection Parameters ==
 
*Start and stop date
**Start Date: June 4, 2011 
**Stop Date: none
*Data is sent when complete and upon final check.
*Data is saved in L_TmpV2 under Project 'ER_Wait' of the centralized_data.mdb
*Prior ER Wait data
**From Sept 1, 2007 to June 3, 2011, ER wait is under the Project 'Moves' ([[Moves for Medicine]]).
**Note that the collection guideline of the Project 'Moves' is different from the Project ER_Wait.
== Reporting and Analysis ==
 
*ER Wait is calculated as the difference between the Arrival in Ward Date_time - Admit Date_Time
*The SAS Program to read the data is in X:\Julie\SAS_CFE\CFE_macros\CFE_ERWait.sas
 
=={{Data Integrity Checks}}==
=== ER Wait and from-ER consistency ===
* uses the following queries
** s_tmp_ER_Wait_has_tmp_not_from_ER - error if ER wait entry but is not from ER
** s_tmp_ER_Wait_from_ER_no_ER_Wait - error if from ER but has no ER wait entry
** s_tmp_ER_Wait_chronological - error if tmp date/time is null or is <= admit date/time
** s_tmp_ER_Wait_long_delay - gives error if delay is > 3 days
 
== Data Structure ==
We capture ER Wait (moves) in [[L_TmpV2]].
The data is sent to and stored in [[TmpV2_1.mdb]].
