==== Mixed unit ====
October 2017 - mixed unit.  It is easy to identify between the CTU (clinical teaching unit) and NTU (non-teaching unit )patients, as they switch attending physicians, see below,where the CTU and NTU (GAP) physicians are identified.  [[User:Lkaita|Lisa Kaita]] 22:14, 2018 July 11 (CDT)
Once patients are identified as CTU vs NTU, how does this make a difference in coding them? Or is this more about can we identify when a pt is an overflow from another unit, vs when they become "naturalized" to that unit ? ie is this really more about which laptop or at least service/location a patient will be on? Ttenbergen 16:53, 2018 July 17 (CDT)
*it doesn't affect the way the data is coded.  Usually they become NTU on or about the same time they are medically stable.  Since both 3N & 3S have both teaching and nonteaching pts, the pt is generally kept on that ward after the switch.  Sometimes if the pt appears to be longer term, they will transfer them to 5N.  We do not acknowledge any change in attending physician in any way on the database unless the pt is deemed medically stable, or transferred to another ward. We do not really have "overflow" from one medical unit to another here.

Data Collection work assignments at GRA

GRA uses Cognos EPR Report and PatientFollow Project to assign patients to laptops.

Other staff that can do shifts at Grace: p:Pamela Piche, p:Lisa Kaita,p:Allyson Alcudia

We communicate regularly and attempt to even out the workload by the less burdened collector completing collection on discharged patients from the busier areas, +/or entering the already collected data for the busier units on the laptop while the other collector continues to collect
