Some sites use swap locations as entries in EPR.
When patients need to switch locations due to medical reasons, patient swap locations can be performed in the ADT EPR. For example, patient A and patient B need to switch locations. Patient A is in a private room and patient B is in a semi-private room. Both patients could be transferred into the swap location or non-census location, freeing up both of the unit beds. Then both Patient A and Patient B can be transferred into the correct unit and room/bed.
| Example: |
|
A patient was in a swing bed from 0243 until 0405 that is the actual arrival time to the unit. The patient remained in ER until 0405 but MR staff had to electronically enter/place the patient somewhere. |
The problem
Swing or swap locations are not real locations. While listed as in a swap location, the pt might still be in the old location or already be in a new location that gets entered after. Collectors seem to review the chart, make sense of what actually happened, and enter accordingly.
|
Is there ever "room for interpretation" where both collectors would still consider the pt on their unit, or where both would consider them already/still on the other unit? If not, how and why? |
The use of swap or swing locations makes it hard to follow patients in Cognos Report Integrator, so we need to find out more about how these are used.
possible solution: exclude by filter

|
possible solution: exclude by manual exclude
|
|
|
This will not exclude the record from Cognos2 Ender since that is based on service rather than unit.
Location specific info
"Swing beds" at STB

Are the following the STB ones? AsgnBed_Current

|
|
??? at HSC

|

"Swap locations" at GRA
These show up in the AsgnBed_Current as:
