Med Var 2 - Discharge-to Ward

Med Var 2 is used track the specific ward a patient was discharged to within the same center.

The purpose of this variable is for Julie to link profiles from one ward to another when both wards are within the database program.

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

discussion - can't leave code blank

"If the ward you send to is not in the drop down list just leave variable 2 blank because this information is only used for wards within the program. I have added this clarification after discussion with Julie. --LKolesar 11:31, 13 October 2011 (CDT)" Template:Discussion

• Leaving the code blank is not allowed. Suggest we don't just allow it since it would allow forgotten entries through. Instead I could add an "other" entry to the list. Please let me know in here if that is how we should proceed. Ttenbergen 14:23, 13 October 2011 (CDT)

Discussion - Can't enter code for other hospital

"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

• 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)
