'''When this code is used, also make sure related instructions from [[Homeless]] are followed. '''
This code can be used as [[Dx_Type]] as follows:
* [[Comorbid Diagnosis]] -
* [[Admit Diagnosis]] -
{{discussAllan | actually, do we ever want to see this used as admit? eg for someone who was not able to access services because of no fixed address? There would almost always be a specific medical dx, so wondering if this should ever be an admit. The outcome of this will likely bear on [[Controlling Dx Type for ICD10 codes]].

* [[Acquired Diagnosis / Complication]] -e.g. eviction from premises during hospital stay and patient has no supports/alternative location to discharge to.

Is this an admit or a comorbid Dx or both? Lois

*I will use as both when relevant to their admissions...ie-Chronic OMs and wound infections-assaults etc. and in disposition-when wound care/IV antibiotics/ADLs are required and they have no support systems-unable to access Home Care without an address--[[User:Llemoine|Llemoine]] 07:36, 2018 August 9 (CDT)

*Occasionally homelessness may even be acquired ie. eviction from premises during hospital stay and patient has no supports/alternative location to discharge to.
** how would you use this as a disposition? Ttenbergen 16:09, 2018 August 13 (CDT)
