In an effort to keep track of residents who have been discharged to the hospital vs. home, would it be a good idea to add an attribute to their record?  Currently we just have a discharge date.

    Stacey, my question on adding any additional data to RE is 'will I use it?'.  RE is development database, not HR, not Y membership/class enrollments, etc.  Is where they were discharged something you would use?  Or is that something used by someone else elsewhere? 



    If where they were discharged to makes a difference in your appeals/solicitations, then yes you could add it.  If it doesn't, I'd think twice about adding it.



    My 2 cents.

    Based on JoAnn's advice, I would add it as a Solicit Code not an Attribute, which is quickly visible on Bio 1 and changed easily.
