we're running magic 5.4, and the data regarding a patient's various locations is stored more permanently in ABS.PAT under abs.pat.adm.locations.and.scus. i find this easier to use than ADM.PAT.events where you have to account for undos. The data in ABS lists the start and end date/time for each location. while i dont have a report that does what you're seeking, it would be possible to write code in a macro that uses the second location if the first one happens to be your ER inpatient location. The only gotcha that i've experienced with this segment is that for some reason, several times we had a major upgrade, this segment didn't get populated correctly and meditech had to fix it. regards, ganesh seshadri, indiana regional > -----Original Message----- > From: Sohail Akhtar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 11:41 AM > To: 'Bodnar-Anderson, Cindy'; [email protected] > Cc: 'Camara, Kristine' > Subject: RE: [MEDITECH-L] Magic 5.5 ADM npr report for admit patients. > > > All messages should be posted in plain text.
