Template:Discussion My understanding of "direct" admissions is that they must be an inpatient on a ward or unit or an EMIP in another facility. A pt sent from one ER to another ER that was never assessed by medicine or ICU would not be a direct admission. If they send a pt from, for example, Selkirk ER, the patient would still have to be accepted by either medicine or ICU once they arrive in the accepting ER. This would just be a standard admission (not a direct admission). If the patient was an EMIP in Selkirk (already assessed and accepted by their medicine service) and then transferred to a different hospital ER, then the previous location would be Selkirk EMIP, the previous service would be medicine and the pre admit inpatient location would be Selkirk EMIP.--LKolesar 08:55, 2017 October 13 (CDT)
