Eliminating distinction between different ward types

We currently consider medicine wards as CTU, NTU and several other types.

• 2022-03-24 deleted service_type from s_dispo table and wiki mentions as part of other cleanup. More remains here.
• 2019-10-08 emailed Julie and Trish to finally get this resolved. They are away for two weeks.
• Mar 6 Task meeting (item 3) - Discussed further what value a unit at start of admission would actually be, and whether it would be worth collecting
• Feb 25 Task meeting (item 5) - Allan had contacted the Medicine leaders with a suggestion of collecting a separate value for "unit type at admission" - the medicine people who had responded by this time were OK with this.
• after that: Julie identified that Medicine wants this data in reports
• July 12 Task Meeting (item 4): we decided to stop making this distinction.

Concepts affected by this

Various things are affected by this change, so listing them and making sure we are OK with all of them.

• CTU - if this will be no longer relevant we should delete it and clean up what links to it.
• NTU - if this will be no longer relevant we should delete it and clean up what links to it.

• Property:Collection Location Service Type - how would we group them in here? We'd need a new term, propose "ward"...
• GRA Medicine Collection Guide
  • METU
• site pages such as GRA N3 and all its counterparts

Julie no longer uses the hierarchy level when computing transfer delays. She assume that if Transfer Ready DtTm field is present, DC follows the rule and they are included in the computation. In Medicine Report, there is no more tables showing teaching vs. non teaching.

CTU vs NTU - we decided at task that we wanted to eliminate the distinction. A lot of things are part of their network of information, so we will need to work out the details above before we can move ahead. I believe it was only related to Transfer Ready DtTm field between CTU and NTU not eliminate the concept. Medicine program would have to weigh in. Trish Ostryzniuk 16:11, 2018 July 30 (CDT) I seem to remember the reason to stop doing this also involved that we have more and more locations that don't fall into a clean place. For now we pretend we can give medicine this data, but is it true and meaningful? Ttenbergen 15:51, 2018 July 31 (CDT) Allan will contact the medicine stakeholders about eliminating this distinction. Will email Mary-Ann Lynch, VanAmeyde, Griffin. Ttenbergen 12:18, 2019 January 24 (CST) pinged again for Allan to Follow-up. Ttenbergen 13:44, 2019 February 25 (CST) AG REPLY: DONE. NOBODY is using or seeking this info. So let's stop collecting it.
