Stat collector patient's current location when another is requested

Hi There,

I am looking to collect the current location of a patient when they make a request for another location. Ex. If they are in location 1 and request location 2 I want a column in the stat collector that indicates that they are in location 1 when they made the request for location 2.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

You could listen to the OnEntry event of the 'Acquire Location' activities. This will give you access to the instance (patient), activity and token as event parameters. The current location can be read from a label on the patient. Either an entry in 'Locations', if it was not released yet, or a custom label, that you specify in the 'Release Location' activity.

The requested location could be determined by looking at the name of the resource the activity is acquiring from.
