Description

Hi, after browsing the services, I was wondering why we don't see a service for oncology (https://mimic.mit.edu/docs/iv/modules/hosp/services/ ) ? I noticed when looking at my data that patients who are in the careunit Hematology/Oncology are frequently under the service OMED, which corresponds to orthopedic medicine as listed on the website. Is there a medical/logistical reason that patients under the orthopedic medicine service would typically be in Hematology/Oncology units? Thanks in advance for your help.
