Program

In the context of the critical care and medicine database, the program is either the Critical Care program or the Medicine program, ie the program that a record is collected on.

Collection

The program dictates what data is collected, which instructions on this wiki apply, and how Data Integrity Checks are run.

See the general and program specific curriculum pages for details on what is collected for all or only some:

• Critical Care and Medicine Database Core Curriculum
• ICU Curriculum
• Medicine Curriculum

Data

In our data, the program can be determined based on the Service/Location field, and on what is in the corresponding s_dispo.program field in the s_dispo table.

Software functionality

In CCMDB.accdb the program of a patient should be accessed via Query admission_program and VBA Function admission_program(Pat ID).

These are used to

• affect visibility of user interface elements such as ADLs only being visible for Medicine program patients; this is handled in Sub Check_Forms.Legacy_Hider()
• filter Data Integrity Checks that should only trigger for the right program
