Template:DxPxDateTime Instructions

This template makes sure the instructions for when to use the time component of the date as well is consistent between Dx Date and Px Date.

For Critical Care data collection

In order to still be able to associate dxs, procedures and TISS entries with the location where they happen under PatientFollow Project, we use the time component of the Date to link the Dx/Px to a Boarding Loc.

For a patient who moves on the day of the procedure or diagnosis, enter the date that corresponds to the Boarding Loc where the pt was at the time of the procedure:

• if pt is in a location where they were already yesterday, or for the only Boarding Loc that day, use 0:00
• for a procedure that happened while at a new location that day, enter as Px Date the same DtTm as used for the current Boarding Loc
  • if pt is at third location that day, use the third location's Boarding Loc, etc

For Medicine Data Collection

Enter the appropriate date, but leave the time as 0:00
