Hey Bill,
Yeah I thought of an NPR. I do a daily print to Home Health that checks to see if they are a
HH patient and if they come to the ED or admitted and thought I could do something similar ...
but I was worried about missing a slow STAT or something. So I suppose I could run the report
every 15 minutes but that seemed resource intensive.
I received what I think is a great idea from Paul Goedicke. He said why not use temporary
location and set it to the Admit location for the ED Account.
This is COOL! Lab sends the results to both locations. The Temp location stays with the
account even after the Pt is departed from the ED so even a 5 day old culture will result to
both places. I'm not so sure of RAD yet but I hope it follows suit.
I will let you know of any problems with this approach... but it sounds really
good right now.

One way as you know is to create a NUR Profile and include labs,rad,etc
on that profile and say yes to include all visits and maybe limit the
lab results to 96 hrs or 72 hrs???
Another method could be to use a custom report from ER or EDM (do you
use EDM?) To print when transferring the patient to the floor (with the
new acct#).
You could use the unit # and default lab results from the previous acct#
in ER, using ER status or location as a selection on the report.
I will think about it, let me know if you get any good ideas...
Good Luck,

We, unfortunately for the clinical practitioners, do not roll over
accounts when a patient is
admitted from the ED.
This, of course, means that nothing from the ED account goes to the
receiving unit. Lab
results are of particular concern.
Any great schemes anyone has come up with to get LAB results to the
receiving unit, especially
when results don't come for a number of days?
Thanks,
