Med Var 2 - Discharge-to Ward

Med Var 2 is used track the specific ward a patient was discharged to within the same center. If a patient is discharged to a ward outside your hospital and you know the ward they went to, please code, if not, leave Var 2 blank. Template:Discussion

• don't think you can code a ward outside your own location ccmdb.mdb should not let you... is this at all being done? Ttenbergen 14:34, 2 November 2010 (CDT)

Possible values are listed in the Var 2 dropdown box in the CCMDB.mdb, which is driven by the S varOptions table.

Data Integrity Checks

Any patient who is discharged to a medicine ward from a medicine ward at the same hospital must have Var 2 entered.

Can't enter code for other hospital

• I don't know if this is an error or bug in the system but if I try and enter in Var 1 or 2 slot the ward of a patient coming from or going to a ward outside my hospital it will not let me send this data in Access. I can only add the specific ward in Var 1 or 2 for transfers within my hospital.TAngell 09:16, 30 March 2009 (CDT)
  • As mentioned in Med Var 1 - Admit-from Ward, the CCMDB.mdb by design won't let you enter variables for another hospital. If we want to make these universally enterable, we need to add all wards for all locations into S varOptions. Is that what we want? Ttenbergen 14:34, 2 November 2010 (CDT)
