At the Grace, occasionally the ICU borrows beds in the ER. Patients can stay the entire ICU time in the ER, ie if they die or are discharged before ever making it to ICU.

Identifying these patients

As per Lisa:

Just to clarify the patient at the Grace was NOT identified through the EPR but was brought to our attention by the manager of the ICU. After the fact I was able to identify this patient through the EPR admit register using the appropriate dates, the ER as a location and filtering for "all" providers, the patient then showed up on the report under critical care in the ER. We have added this as a regular report we will now run looking for all patients in ER admitted under critical care. This patient was also identified through the medicine admission when the chart and ER notes were reviewed, so this is another way in which we can catch these patients, provided they are transferred to a ward where we collect.

These appear to be showing properly in Cognos Report Integrator as of 2020-10.
