The Patient Type on your registry page can take one of two values:
M-Medical Type
Patient who is admitted under the care of a Medical Service attending physician
S-Surgical Type
- admitted from the OR but is under the care of the Medicine Service Attending Physician.
- admitted from the RR and is under the care of the Medicine Service Attending Physician.
NOTE: if there is a surgical patient on an medicine ward bed that is under a Surgical Service care, we exclude from the database. This is not a medicine service care patient.
