- if the situation is unknown, enter location missing/unknown
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.
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.

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.
Exceptions
Bed Borrows
direct admit / transfer
see Direct admit / Parked in ER
from psych unit
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.

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:
- If patient is an internal medicine patient: enter the unit name (eg. VIC_S3)
- 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".
Patients from day surgery
For patients admitted from day surgery units, enter:
- Previous Location - <your hospital> Ward, e.g. HSC Ward
- Previous Service - General Surgery (or other surgical service listed in drop down.
Homeless Patients
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
If a patient is admitted from prison, jail or a correctional institution, code this as an admission from "Institution NOS".
See Prison / Jail / Correctional Institution for additional info.
Data Use
This data is used for tracking where most of the traffic on our units/wards comes from. For starters it will be reported to Critical Care (Randy Martin), who was also the requestor of this data.
