some patients are seen only in hospital setting. is there a "place of service" field to help sort out these patients when running reports or queries?

or

I believe ‘facilities’ is mean to be used as the place-of-service. When you run an Appointments Report you can filter by Facility. This is something that is not too well defined in OpenEMR but can be very useful to some practices with multiple sites.
