* if you know the situation but nothing on the list matches closely, enter '''other - known but not listed''
{{PrePrevDispo listing}}
* if the situation is unknown, enter '''location missing/unknown'''
* if the patient is a direct admission use <site>_UC, <Site>_ER, <site>_ward, <site>_Med, <site>_ICU or temporary location depending on the scenario (see direct admit scenarios below)
 
* if you know the situation but nothing on the list matches closely, enter '''other - known but not listed'''
If you know the location exactly, you can type it. Otherwise press the "?" button to take you to the [[S dispo chooser‎]] to help filter options if desired.
* if the situation is unknown, enter '''Not known'''
 
* if the patient is in ER under a service we do not collect ie. cardiology, surgery etc use <site>_ER
For wards where we don't collect, enter e.g. HSC_ward. For wards where we do collect enter the actual ward as available in the dropdown.
{{DL | what is the [[Pre-admit Inpatient Institution]] entry for this case? --[[User:JMojica|JMojica]] 13:37, 29 July 2025 (CDT)
 
* That is what we need to decide we should probably keep it consistent with EMIP concept, however, for SICU we generally disregard the surgical service (when in ER) unless they were truly an inpt on a ward [[User:Lkaita|Lisa Kaita]] 13:59, 30 July 2025 (CDT)}}
=== Example ===
If you know the location exactly, you can type it, otherwise click on the dropdown button to view the options
For example, a patient arriving from Selkirk Hospital via the local ER would have the ER coded in the [[Previous Location field]] and Selkirk coded in the [[Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field]].


=== Where to find this information ===
=== Where to find this information ===
If patient came from a different Winnipeg hospital this should be recorded in the  “Visit History” on the EPR, but sometimes it is missing. Can also use paper chart sent to your hospital from the sending hospital for information.

=== direct admit / transfer ===
=== Borrowed Bed Or Pt Boarding On Other Unit ===
see [[Direct admit]] / [[Parked in ER]]
* Use the [[Boarding Loc]] of the service taking care of the patient:<site>_Med, GH-CC, HSC_MICU, HSC_SICU, HSC_IICU, STB MICU, STB_ICCS, STB_ACCU.
 
{{Discuss|
=== from psych unit ===
* for consistency, should this also use the [[Template:PrePrevDispo listing]]? Actually, what does this even mean for previous location? And what do you do if the patient comes from med?
Code patient from POU (pysch evaluation unit @ HSC) as "HSC ambulatory care" - it's not an inpatient ward.
}}
 
=== Dialysis unit as previous location===
For patient from Dialysis unit, use that unit as previous location. [[Pre acute living situation field]] would be the unit they came from right before, if applicable.  
{{discussion}}
 
 
=== Heart Cath Lab vs OR as previous location ===
When a procedure (e.g valve replacement) is done in the cath lab before the pt arrives on your unit, enter Cath Lab if done in Cath Lab and put OR if done in OR.
We are aware that this may affect categorization under [[APACHE II]] but will collect like this for now. This will need to be dealt with when we move to [[ICD10]]. {{ICD10}}
 
=== Data collection units that have a '''mix''' of different physician serve types ===
We have a few units in the Region that have a mix of 2 different services (internal medicine, surgical, family medicine etc).
*VIC_S3 - is a mix of family medicine and internal medicine patients
*HSC_B3 - is a mix of day surgery & internal medicine patients
* any others?


For patients from these units:
=== Direct Admit Scenarios ===
* If patient is an internal medicine patient: enter the unit name (eg. VIC_S3)  
*inpatients from CON, OAK, VIC who are direct transfers to HSC/STB/GRA, the [[Pre-admit Inpatient Institution]] and [[Previous Location]] will be <site>_ward, even if the patient spends time in that site's UC prior to transfer. If not yet an inpatient from CON/OAK/VIC and transfer is from their UC, then previous location is the <site>_UC. 
* If patient is '''not''' a internal medicine patient, enter the generic hospital ward (e.g. VIC Ward); this will allow you to enter the [[Previous Service field]] with a physician service other than "Medicine".
*For direct transfers from HSC/STB/GRA, if an inpatient, and no in-between temporary location, the [[Pre-admit Inpatient Institution]] is the same as [[Previous Location]] (e.g. GH_med, or HSC_MICU)  
**if there is a temporary location in-between, then [[Previous Location]] is equal to the temporary location (e.g. OR, RR, Cath Lab, Dialysis, IR or Other procedure location) and [[Pre-admit Inpatient Institution]] would be the previous <site>_inpatient location
**If not yet an inpatient from HSC/STB/GRA and coming from <other site> ER then previous location is <other site> ER, and the [[Pre-admit Inpatient Institution]] would be not applicable
*If a [[homeless]] patient is admitted directly then code them as admitted from home.
*If a patient is admitted directly from prison, jail or a correctional institution, code this as an admission from '''"Institution NOS"'''. See [[Prison / Jail / Correctional Institution]] for additional info.


=== Patients from day surgery===
=== Exceptions ===
For patients admitted from day surgery units, enter:
*We have a few units in the Region that have a mix of different services (internal medicine, surgical, family medicine etc). For patients from these units:
*Previous Location - <your hospital> Ward, e.g. HSC Ward
** If patient was under internal medicine service, enter <site>_Med
*[[Previous Service]] - General Surgery (or other surgical service listed in drop down.
** If '''not''' under internal medicine service, enter the <site>_Ward
*for Riverview and [[Deer Lodge (DLC)]], see [[Chronic Health Facility]] see [[Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field]] or the various wards that are considered an inpatient location
*patients from POU (psych evaluation unit @ HSC) as "HSC ambulatory care" - This is not an inpatient ward.
*patients admitted from day surgery units, enter <site>_ambulatory care, e.g. this is not considered to be an inpatient location see [[Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field]]


=== [[Homeless]] Patients ===
{{Pre-admit, Previous content}}
If a homeless patient is admitted directly then code them as admitted from home. Usually they would be via ER, of course, and you'd code them as that.


=== [[Prison / Jail / Correctional Institution]] ===
{{Location dropdown cleanup}}
If a patient is admitted from prison, jail or a correctional institution, under the circumstances that would qualify as an admission from home, code this as an admission from home.
