If the palliative care location is a ward the record is treated as a '''[[continuous admission]]'''
Question
*I have a patient discharge to Grace Hospice from  Victoria ward  so I code ZH  as my discharge to location but the laptop won't let me put GH in var2 due to it states "must be local" so shouldnt GH JH BH be added to the location discharge to site ? so you can capture which hospice the pt goes to unless you are not collecting that specific type of detailed  information.( we have always used GW when discharged to Grace Hospice)
*at GGH we have been using discharge to "Grace ward" with variable "GH" when the pt goes to Grace Hospice.  Are we also changing to d/c to "Hospice Care Centre" with variable "GH"?
**Hi Tina. GH, JH and BH was suppose to be allowed in Var 1 & 2 for all sites in the Regional. 
** Correct, the program will not allow discharge to ZH and then Var 2 GH/BH/JH because only local wards are allowed to be in Var2. Because of a quirk it might have allowed Grace to send to GH only. I added the options in January but never tested entering it and then trying to set a patient to complete. I may need to change all the check code. I am surprised,though, that I had not heard about this before. Do we discharge to hospice that rarely? Trish, could you prioritize if we should address this before dispo or as part of?

*'''Grace Hospice''' is in a separate building from Grace hospital, and is '''not a ward'''. We collect this location as '''''Grace Hospice'''''.
[[Category: Admit/Discharge]]
*'''STB Palliative Care''' is located in the STB_A8 '''ward''' of STB hospital. We track this as a "ward" in [[s_dispo table]] [[S dispo.loc type]] because, while it provides some services a hospice would, it is actually a proper ward.
* Riverview [[Chronic Health Facility]] palliative ward - use''''' Riverview'''''
