Minimal Data Set

Data on ALL patients gets sent to the Regional Server each week that files are sent.

For those files that have all been Finalchecked the data gets send as a CSV file. This is the file that the Data processor picks up and uploads to the Master Database for either ICU or Medicine.
Data for patient profiles that are not complete yet also gets sent to the Regional Server. This information goes to and Access database called PDA Pending.mdb. This information is used by the statistician. See Minimal Data Set for Pending mdb for more information for this database.

Data that must be collected for all patients as soon as possible

If the minimal data set is not complete for a patient, the CCMDB.mdb will give an incomplete data set error and list the patient, and you will not be able to send any patients:
- serial number
- hospital
- unit
- first name
- last name
- hospital chart number
- PHIN
- date of birth
- unit admit date (time not necessary)
the admit time, and the discharge date and time, once available
data for those TmpV2 entries where instructions say that all data is sent at every send

Data from patients who are not yet complete is used for the following:

to generate occupancy statistics
to be able to finalize temporary studies before long-stay patients are eventually discharged
