Service/Location field

This field is currently being implemented, please check the instructions and put a discussion for anything that isn't clear. 

Collection location a patient is admitted to, very similar to current "Location" field. This will be a dropdown that allows an appropriate subset of the contents of s_dispo. Template:Discussion

• why is the field call SERVICE LOCATION rather than LOCATION. adds to the confusion. Is there a point to include addition word Service to location. There really is not such thing as a Service Location.
  • Suggestion, just call the field LOCATION as it was called before. Less confusion.
  • I agree to call it as LOCATION. JMojica 13:25, 2016 April 18 (CDT)

Patients boarding on other wards or units are coded as the home unit. Collectors can use "record" field for tracking actual location.

Collection Instruction

essentially like Location is done now

If you know the location exactly, you can type it. Otherwise press the "magic wand" button to take you to the S dispo chooser‎ to help filter options if desired.

Questions

additional locations required?

• Please add 'EMIP' option to the dropdown for each hospital.--LKolesar 14:27, 2016 April 14 (CDT)
  • right now only some sites have EMIP; why to all sites need it now? Are we talking about the same thing? Ttenbergen 12:08, 2016 April 18 (CDT)

change a location

• Is it possible to change gra_w3 to gra_s3? It hasn't been called 3west for a long time - it was expanded and now is 3south Mschaffer
  • asked Julie... Ttenbergen 12:08, 2016 April 18 (CDT)
  • we did a similar change in STB before (E6 to B5, B4 to 5B). is 3south the final location - if yes, then OK to change. JMojica 13:25, 2016 April 18 (CDT)

• • • 3south is the final unit. I thought it might be easier to change now when we are changing all locations. It has been 3South for years. Mschaffer 14:56, 2016 April 18 (CDT)
